27. Hmm. Maybe silkworms?

Silkworms are caterpillars that have been held captive and exploited for at least five thousand years. They are treated like property, they produce things of value far in excess of any return they get and someone else takes the credit for it, their reproductive cycle is totally controlled, they never stop working and they never leave their factory walls--exactly as Republicans wish to treat American women.

But silkworms also have better health care than American women have, so I guess any comparison has to stop there.
