New statement from President Biden:
"No woman should be forced to go to court or flee her home state just to receive the health care she needs. But that is exactly what happened in Texas thanks to Republican elected officials, and it is simply outrageous. This should never happen in America, period. "Legal and medical chaos, as we are witnessing in states like Texas, Kentucky and Arizona, is a direct result of Roe v. Wade being overturned, and as we predicted would happen, women's health and lives now hang in the balance. Republican elected officials have imposed dangerous abortion bans that jeopardize women’s health, force them to travel out of state for care, and threaten to criminalize doctors. Their agenda is extreme and out-of-step with the vast majority of Americans. "The Vice President and I will continue to fight to protect access to reproductive health care and to urge Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade now so that women in every state have the right to make their own health care decisions."

'[Roe v. Wade] is the only thing standing between us and a world where women are criminalized for bodily autonomy' — @Alyssa_Milano breaks down the history of abortion rights in the U.S. and what's at stake in this NowThis exclusive
Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.
Got the recommended AC tune-up 3/4/22 to maintain my AC thru @LandmarkHW. Today, my drippan is leaking & appears rusted thru, but you have no responsibility & will not cover the claim? No supervisor available for 24-48 hrs? & impossible to cancel service thru your rep or online?
The Rand Corp. has a paper on how to combat the 'firehose of falsehoods,' a Russian propaganda technique.
(The technique is also used by Fox and America's far right-wing. What a coincidence, right?)
The paper is here: https://t.co/1Jg5CvgrJC

Be mindful on social media in the coming weeks. Russian troll farms will be targeting us with posts that illicit strong emotions to sow chaos and create division. If you find yourself reacting, consider the source and that it might be a targeted active measure. 👀
Yesterday I helped my bestie Kira, a NASA employee in Houston, with this letter she wrote following passage of Texas’ abortion ban. Her ideas resonated with me & I think they are worth a read. Voices are stronger together, so if you can, share this to show your support.
