I’m so sorry to anyone who is friends with me that has the misfortune of bringing up books in casual conversation. I will never stop recommending books. I recognize the problem. I’m just unwilling to stop.
Abortion is legal in California.
It will remain that way.
I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation.
We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.
NEW: House Republicans have introduced the Leaker Accountability Act, making Supreme Court leaks punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
They've not introduced a single bill combatting the epidemic of gun violence and mass shootings.
More people were shot and killed in America over Memorial Day weekend than are killed by guns in Japan and the UK combined during an average year. It’s not video games, lack of prayer, or too many doors that caused that. It’s guns. It’s always guns.
So to Republicans, a 12 year-old is old enough to be forced to give birth, get married, or shoot an assault rifle, but is too young to say "gay" or see bad words in a book?
Do I have that right?
The leak didn’t erode the court’s legitimacy.
Bush v Gore did.
Mitch McConnell denying Obama's nominee and then stealing a seat did.
Lying under oath and then taking away our rights did.
Republicans will focus on the leak to deflect from the Roe ruling. But we see you.
The only traditional plant knowledge I’ll ever give outside my people is that red willow will cause abortions. We used it precontact for that purpose and I know for a fact it works cuz my friend came to me as a teen when she needed one. Would be terrible if everyone knew that.
So let me get this straight- one leak from the SCOTUS and the marshal is called in to investigate by Chief Justice Roberts but a sitting justice's wife literally plotted to overthrow the government and no investigation? Interesting.
One more thing: if you're annoyed by a romance author speaking up on abortion rights, I bet you'll be pissed when they censor romance books for their 'dangerous' ideas about women having agency & autonomy.
Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.
