I cannot believe Viserys is more supportive of women's reproductive rights than half the United States Congress

BREAKING: The Supreme Court agreed to hear Moore v Harper, an appeal advocating for extreme interpretation of the Constitution that could make it easier for state legislatures to suppress the vote, draw unfair election districts, enable partisan interference in ballot counting.

Supreme Court my ass

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.”

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today is a very solemn moment for the United States.

The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.

If US Supreme Court overturning #RoeVWade was about babies, there would be:
Universal healthcare
Free birth control
Free education
Free daycare
Child support
Criminalisation of all rape & child marriage

As with all abuse of women, this is purely about male power and control

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

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.

“It feels like this country is breaking our hearts,” said one protester outside the Supreme Court after the Dobbs decision. More abortion rights supporters showing up as evening falls. https://t.co/A4WoWDZpyd

This might give you a sense of how many Detroiters are out here protesting the Supreme Court’s repeal of Roe v Wade

‘When the penalty for rape is less than the penalty for abortion after the rape, you know this isn’t about caring for women … [but] about controlling them.’

In 2019, poet @TheAmandaGorman took a stand against abortion bans in the U.S. & her words are just as relevant today.
