We decriminalised abortion in Aotearoa New Zealand. But the religious right will not give up on misogyny easily. Reproductive justice is a social work issue.

In addition to bragging about Trump overturning Roe and appointing hundreds of anti-abortion judges during his first term, Vance just delivered a dangerous promise: Trump isn't done attacking our rights, & he's ready to appoint even more judges to carry out his agenda this term.

Yeah so it’s never just ‘prayer’ is it? Trump’ s arsehole followers being told they can get away with anything and Daddy will protect them.

SHAMEFUL: President Trump has pardoned 23 people who harassed or attacked abortion clinics and their patients. Some of the offenses committed include physically blocking patients from accessing care, breaking into clinics, stealing fetal tissue, and accosting pregnant patients.

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

Today, Pres. Trump pardoned 23 people who had been convicted of harassing, threatening, and harming patients and providers at abortion clinics. This assault on our clients and their patients shows the administration's complete lack of respect for law, order, and women.

It seems that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me this reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible. And importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.

After ProPublica revealed that two women were killed by Georgia’s abortion ban, the state has fired all members of the committee that reviews such deaths. https://t.co/ttp14PFxxn

Right wing men are so ignorant about reproduction but it’s never stopped them from behaving like pious, immature, controlling misogynists. It alway creeps me out so much when they mention their daughters. Nasty.

On the day of her baby shower, 18-year-old Texan Nevaeh Crain began miscarrying and after 3 ER visits, 2 ultrasounds and 20 hours of being denied the medical procedure she desperately needed… she died.
If only she had kept her “legs closed”, right @ksorbs?

I’m still thinking about this woman in Georgia—miscarrying and hemorrhaging ‘dinner plate-sized clots’—who, even after qualifying for an abortion, couldn’t skip the state’s 24-hour waiting period because she wasn’t close enough to dying.

This is torture

A pregnant young girl in Texas went to three emergency rooms, pleading for help. One sent her away after she tested positive for sepsis. Naveah Crain died on October 29, 2023. She was 18. https://t.co/jOACnrKuAd

Oh my gosh. The new mifepristone lawsuit claims that mifepristone is suppressing teen birth rates, which injures plaintiff states by depriving said states of population increases - as if teen girls are inherently meant to serve the state as baby factories.

So important to recognize forced pregnancy as forced, involuntary servitude. I argue that it violates the 13th Amendment. Here's part of the order signed by Judge Robert C.I. McBurney recognizing it's "eerily reminiscent" history to slavery in the GA Court order:

I do not know why I have to say this repeatedly on Twitter. There is no such thing as a fetal heartbeat at 6 weeks. It is electrical activity from pre-cardiac cells. There is no guarantee that these clump of cells will materialize into a baby. Just get the fuck out of our lives,

Wow this is extraordinary. Well it isn’t really. But damn….

Why we need to teach social workers and health professionals about reproductive coercion.

Preventable. Amber Nicole Thurman's death was preventable.

Thank you VP @KamalaHarris for honoring Amber and everyone who has suffered under Trump abortion bans. Honoring Amber means fighting to repeal all of these bans and restoring abortion rights in all fifty states.

[Moira Donegan @MoiraDonegan]

Her health conditions gave Candi Miller reason to believe that another pregnancy would kill her. She self-managed an abortion under Georgia’s ban, and when it didn’t complete, she was too scared of legal repercussions to go to the hospital. She died an avoidable death at home.
