@YesYoureRacist These MFs are so genuinely shocked to be experiencing consequences that I'm pissed about it on a new level. They really thought they were entitled to violently overthrow a democratic election because they lost. JFC.

In case you need to hear it today: abortion is health care and health care is a fundamental human right.

Who are we as a nation if we don’t protect our children?

“I don't fucking care that they have weapons. They're not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here. Let the people in. Take the fucking mags away."

It shouldn't be harder to obtain an abortion than an AR-15.

@shannonrwatts "PERSPECTIVE: maybe this is really about men?" .... Jfc.

[Rebecca @RVWildner]

Yes it makes sense to prep for the next fights, but *this* fight concerns dead pregnant Americans, tragically preventably, and basic bodily autonomy for all potentially pregnant folks— let's focus on it

[Rebecca @RVWildner]

Abortion is healthcare and making healthcare illegal WILL KILL people. This is all hands on deck for reproductive #publichealth.

Excellent thread, great links to the scientific, medical ethics, and public health perspectives--

[Bill Sullivan @wjsullivan]

Outlawing abortion is medically unsound, morally bankrupt, and stupefyingly shortsighted. It will bring immense suffering to millions of people and cost society precious resources to restore a freedom that women had just days ago. (1/n)

@bessbell I don't know you, but I heart you with all my filthy little pores

[Rebecca @RVWildner]

Forced birthing will kill pregnant Americans, this is a public health crisis

[Beth Germano @BethWBZ]

Head of Planned Parenthood calls it a monumental health care crisis . Press conference underway at the Statehouse.#wbz

Let me get this straight:

The Supreme Court says states cannot decide how to regulate guns—yet only the states can decide how to regulate a woman’s body.

[Red Sox @RedSox]

It was an honor to be joined by former U.S. Congresswoman, founder of @GiffordsCourage, and advocate Gabby Giffords.

Thank you, Congresswoman Giffords, for tirelessly fighting for gun violence awareness and safety.

There is an unseen epidemic of trauma among survivors & victims' loved ones that each event triggers. Enough was enough a long time ago, and we can't wait for reform any longer

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

We don't talk enough about the people who survive shootings.

17 people were shot and injured at Robb Elementary, and the entire Uvalde community is now traumatized—many of them children.

They deserve Senate action too.

No one is asking GOP politicians to all of the sudden develop a conscience in the wake of 19 8-year olds getting murdered.

They’re just being asked to support the equivalent of a driver’s exam to buy a weapon of mass destruction.
