The kids having sex aren’t alright: Abortion bans threaten sexuality development, @TheHumanTandy reports. What will this generation lose to the GOP’s anti-sex agenda of fear, shame, and loss of access?

*SEX TALK*

What will this generation lose to the GOP’s anti-sex agenda of fear, shame, and loss of access?

We're in a psychological fallout that makes “recreational” sex synonymous with an unwanted pregnancy at best and punishment at worst.

The case going down in Florida between DeSantis + Warren is one you need to pay attention to — it's a playbook for a dangerous + illegal powergrab...

Ever and always proud to be part of PRP in the Herculean fight for justice.

[Public Rights Project @publicrightspro]

@AndrewWarrenFL won’t back down, and neither will we. We are standing with State Attorney Andrew in this fight for an equitable democracy! #WarrenVDeSantis

[Public Rights Project @publicrightspro]

1/ 🗣️ Help us celebrate big racial justice news from #Florida! Today FL cities fought off @GovRonDeSantis’ attempt to end their suit challenging #HB1, a racist, anti-protest law that restricts local governments’ ability to reform law enforcement budgets—ie. ‘defund the police.’

[Public Rights Project @publicrightspro]

1/ Maybe you’ve heard that Florida’s #HB1 is a racist, anti-protest law, but what does that mean when the rubber hits the road? How has this *actually* affected the community?

Good question. And we’ve got answers…

The clinic staff spent Friday canceling the appointments of 60-70 patients scheduled for abortions in the coming weeks.

“Some patients broke down and could not speak through their sobbing. Some patients were stunned and didn't know what to say. Some patients did not understand.”

“Let’s be clear, *septic abortion wards* were necessary because abortion was criminalized. That’s not going to be different this time around. It’s unfathomable.”

Money can buy anything. What a huge, sad disappointment.

[Katie Tandy @TheHumanTandy]

Rarely have 3 letters and 5 numbers belied so many horrors. MCL 750.14 is a 1931 Michigan abortion law (which itself stems from an 1846 abortion ban) that makes it a felony to procure a miscarriage, unless necessary to “preserve life."

The @MISupremeCt must take up this case!

[Public Rights Project @publicrightspro]

1/Hey #Michigan! Someone who gets an abortion *this summer* could be prosecuted by a new DA or AG who hasn't even been elected yet IF #RoeVWade is overturned…

So @GovWhitmer filed a lawsuit to keep abortion legal + urged @MISupremeCourt to take up the case…

[Katie Tandy @TheHumanTandy]

"This isn't inevitable." #whatarewedoing? indeed.
