Popping back on here to say this is long overdue and absolutely critical. Gestational age limits have absolutely no place in any humane, forward-looking abortion policy. Please read and sign! https://t.co/0haIT4QomJ

(PS being like Eloisa Lopez is also just the right thing to do)

Oh look 👀👀👀 it’s that age old debate over whether advocates and policymakers can/should throw some people under the bus to benefit others. (1/4 and I’m not paying for “X Premium” 🙄)

Don’t be like “others”

“Others, like Penich, think that perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good and that some access is better than none.” (3/4)

[Megan Donovan (she/her) @1MegDonovan]

Some folks have been shouting this from the rooftops for ages. It’s not just our opinion. It’s based on the historical reality, facts and evidence. Which is why @Guttmacher took an official position against gestational age bans in 2020.

Be like Eloisa: “Some abortion rights advocates, like Lopez, believe the country should be thinking bigger than Roe because lawmakers were still able to chip away at access under that standard, and it left out the often overlooked patients who need care later in pregnancy.” (2/4)

Four years ago @1MegDonovan wrote a piece that has never been more relevant:

"Gestational age bans, at any point in pregnancy, represent a knowing and willful use of state power to compel childbearing without regard for the consequences."

1 year since we began bargaining our 1st union contract, and we are still at the table. We are frustrated by @Guttmacher's refusal to come to an agreement with us on key pieces. We are asking our supporters to sign this petition https://t.co/bDI4ruK50K

The We Testify team holds the fired workers of All* Above All in our hearts & stands beside them in solidarity. The firing of workers for speaking out about anti-Blackness or toxic workplaces at any organization is detrimental to our movement & our calls for reproductive justice.

This all day.

[Repro Workers @ReproWorkers]

It has never been clearer that all of repro needs to unionize than it has been today watching an RJ org lay off their entire staff while the rest of the movement is promoting a chatbot that does not work instead of paying actual human beings what they’re worth

This is BS. I have imaging & a physical exam to screen for breast cancer every 6 mos. Today I was presented this option to pay $75 for “enhanced” screening using AI. I resent having to make this “choice” & am again daydreaming about dismantling the medical-industrial complex.

@RHAVote Wait till she learns you were born in THE 1900s!

[RHAvote @RHAVote]

Y’ALL. I’m sitting here kind of stunned by how much @MorePerfect just fucking nailed it on this one. The viability line is a cruel sham of a legal standard and, especially if you’ve been unconvinced, this is worth your time.

[alyssa edes 🍉 @alyssaedes]

So proud of today's episode of @MorePerfect. It's one of the best things I've produced, and @gabrielleberbey reported the shit out of it.

Listen; and upend what you thought you knew about Roe, abortion, and the justices who make the rules.

If you can’t say the same about your career/workplace, I encourage you to think about what it would take to change that. And I’m here to chat and cheer you on until you get there!

[Megan Donovan (she/her) @1MegDonovan]

Starting a small business from scratch is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. But it’s a joy and a privilege to spend every day putting my values into practice & creating a space where staff, members and the community around us are treated with respect, dignity and transparency.

They’re just stringing whoever they can along to achieve what’s really their end game. See: WHPA.

[Megan Donovan (she/her) @1MegDonovan]

TBH neither are the repro orgs that claim pragmatism in order to push for “incremental” change.
