PRIMED Hill Day was a smashing success thanks to an incredible group of scholars, leadership from the CPL, and support from the CMC!

Today, the Senate is voting on the Right to Contraception Act and let us be clear — “This is not a show vote, it’s a show us who you are vote.” - @SenSchumer
This is terrifying.
"Whether abortion laws target providers, aiders and abettors, or women themselves, the criminalization of abortion necessarily involves the surveillance of women,” says @ifwhenhow.

As an ER doc and health care advocate I couldn’t care less about @SenKatieBritt's cringe performance in this video that many are roasting. It is the substance of the bill she is pushing that makes me truly cringe. Here’s why: 🧵1/7
