With the fate of WI's 1849 abortion law before the state Supreme Court, CORE Director Jenny Higgins tells @WXPR that even if the law is ruled unenforceable, abortion access remains heavily restricted and disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. https://t.co/qPZxX1sLGj
You are not entitled to someone else’s reproduction, including your own children’s. Pressuring people to have children they don’t want so you can be a grandparent is a form of reproductive coercion.
We should all be worried about Republicans bringing back the Comstock Act, but also we should be asking why Louis DeJoy is still U.S. Postmaster General and what Democrats are planning to do about it. He will be essential to Comstock 2.0. He should be out of a job.
Much like liberal feminists regularly misdirect their anxieties about gender-based violence away from the family home where it most often occurs to racialized stranger danger panic, abortion criminalization requires talking about boyfriends/husbands and nurses more than apps
I remember in 2016 receiving emails from university presidents saying that campuses would remain safe, vibrant spaces where diversity was respected and undocumented students would be protected.
I have received no such email which suggests to me a real normalization of this.
I’m begging yall to fund local repro orgs instead. I understand the fear that a lot of folks must be feeling but we’ve got to slow down and think. This level of individualism is why we’re in the mess we’re in. It’s time to build community care networks.
anyway one thing we can keep doing is actively trying to build the world we want, with each other and for each other. that option is never gone, the roadblocks just shift. your community is the same one you woke up with yesterday
I went to bed and woke up to this. The only way out of this is to deal with the anti-Blackness, misogyny, and love of violence in this nation. In the meantime, donate to your local abortion fund and show up for your loved ones who have abortions.
and now the only thing to do is to entangle ourselves so deeply in community to keep each other safe.
this is the part where we do it (all of it, resourcing, caregiving, protecting) for each other.
When we wake up tomorrow, there will be abortions that need funded, no matter where you live.
A collective of folks who send a dollar or two to a local abortion fund *will* make the difference.
ABC News has projected that Proposition 139, protecting abortion rights, will pass in Arizona, overturning the state's 15-week ban. Similar measures have also passed in Colorado and Maryland, where abortion was already legal.
BREAKING: Missouri becomes the first state to overturn a near-total abortion ban by ballot initiative, per @AP, even as the state reelects its staunch anti-abortion Sen. Josh Hawley. https://t.co/I7MANNizLm
While it was tough to learn that amendment 4 failed to pass, we know one thing is true: abortion is a human right. And the majority of Floridians agree with us. Now, TBAF’s work continues.
Dean @RRebouche and co-authors @GreerDonley and David S. Cohen (@dsc250) warn about the danger of a Trump presidency for abortion rights in swing states, even where they are currently protected. https://t.co/CokvWJf55U
