What does it cost to get an abortion? The New York Times reports that with abortion now banned in 14 states, patients face added expenses for travel, lodging and child care. As we know at ARFWM, more of them are turning to abortion rights funds for help. https://t.co/y9zc5a17Tb

Anti-choice Republicans across the country are trying to hide their real agenda to ban abortion—and now extremist @LindseyGrahamSC is introducing a bill in the Senate that would do exactly that. We need to vote his MAGA Republicans allies out of office in November.

[Rebecca Hart Holder @rhartholder]

Let’s talk about @LindseyGrahamSC’s new anti-abortion bill. This is a nationwide ban that, if it became law, would impact EVERY. SINGLE. STATE. Including Massachusetts. But, it’s not the endgame. It’s a trial balloon. The endgame is a total abortion ban.

In the first election test after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Kansas voters decided against removing the right to abortion from the State Constitution. https://t.co/0H3lQj2vXy

The legislation codifies measures from an Executive Order issued by Governor Baker in the hours after the Supreme Court’s decision last month and adopts new or expanded measures to protect access to reproductive health services. https://t.co/dmB1bIvbhc

Tonight the Massachusetts House resoundingly passed a bill to provide critical protections for life-saving healthcare for transgender people and for access to reproductive healthcare. https://t.co/n7C2s0gfMN

[Mindy Domb @MindyForMA]

The MA House of Representatives passed the act to expand protections for reproductive rights in Massachusetts by a vote of 136-17.

For those of you checking, that is a veto-proof majority.
