Seattle activists have returned to a tired, dramatic, and absurd trope of dystopia and oppression to justify their latest low-attendance protest. This Saturday, they鈥檙e gathering for a rally ominously titled 鈥淯nder His Eye, We All Die鈥, complete with imagery from “The Handmaid鈥檚 Tale,” to warn us that America is sliding straight into Gilead. Cue the red robes and winged hats, and angry chants.

“Join us for a powerful visual protest, short march, and rally as we channel the imagery of The Handmaid鈥檚 Tale to spotlight the growing assault on women鈥檚 rights across the United States,” the claim. “From the rollback of reproductive freedoms to the looming threat of Project 2025, we gather in solidarity to reject extremist policies and demand a future where bodily autonomy, equality, and justice are protected for all.”

There’s been no assault on women’s rights, and Project 2025 fearmongering is so 2024.

I assumed the Radical Left forgot their sad, embarrassing ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ claims

Despite alarmist PR, there鈥檚 been no assault on women鈥檚 rights.

It’s easy to see, however, how the Radical Left could be confused: they cannot define a woman. But there’s been no forced-birth clinics, no surveillance of private medical decisions, and abortion services are happening more often now than ever.

Abortion isn鈥檛 federally banned. And bringing the issue back to the states after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in聽Dobbs did not result in fewer abortions. Quite the opposite. Abortion rates have , with reports showing a rise from 1.05鈥痬illion abortions in 2023 to 1.14鈥痬illion in 2024. Through July 2025, the numbers continue to see an upward trend.

Protesting democracy and states’ rights

Seattle鈥檚 rally will feature stark visuals, theatrical slogans, and readings from “The Handmaid鈥檚 Tale” because it gives lonely, octogenarian protesters something to do on an otherwise boring weekend. But spectacle doesn鈥檛 equal substance.聽No matter how dramatic the costumes, the numbers tell a different story: abortion access is up, and reproductive care continues, mostly unfettered. No dystopian dark future has arrived鈥攏ot today, not tomorrow.

Women aren鈥檛 being forced into pregnancy by the patriarchy, despite what these red-robed revolutionaries scream into their bullhorns. In fact, if there’s any actual threat to women right now, it’s coming from the very people pretending to protect them. The Radical Left wants to force young girls and women to compete against athletically superior boys and men in sports 鈥 undermining the very concept of women’s rights. So no, the threat isn鈥檛 over. It鈥檚 just not coming from conservative lawmakers or the Supreme Court. It鈥檚 coming from the side wearing Handmaid costumes while actively erasing what it means to be a woman.

They seem to be upset with representative democracy itself. President Donald Trump won in a landslide, upsetting the Radical Left. And, of course, they hate states’ rights when they don’t control the states. What activists are really protesting is American federalism鈥攖he idea that states can reflect the will of their citizens, whether liberal or conservative. They鈥檒l cry 鈥渨e all die鈥 because that鈥檚 catchy. Turns out, though, what鈥檚 truly in danger isn鈥檛 women 鈥 it鈥檚 the notion that majority rule matters.
