[If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice @ifwhenhow]

You deserve safety, not isolation and punishment.

If you need emergency care, are worried about your abusive ex and need an abortion, or just have questions about abortion, miscarriage, or birth, we've got you.

Homicide is the leading cause of death among pregnant people. New research shows women’s risk of being murdered in states w/ abortion bans increased after Dobbs. This builds on a growing, devastating catalog of data showing bans’ impact on domestic violence. Link below:

HUGE WIN FOR PATIENCE! 🥳

After being incarcerated for 2 years for her pregnancy loss, Patience is now being paid $1.6 million dollars. It doesn't make up for the trauma she endured, but we are glad Patience can move on with her life as best she can 💚

Lawyers accuse the Trump administration of creating a “deportation assembly line” for migrant children. Their lawsuit argues that its policies deny those children due process.

Nurses helped win what the report calls the first US countywide 12-week paid parental leave policy in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Advocates hope the victory inspires other localities to follow suit.

That's right

[TransgenderLawCenter @TransLawCenter]

A victory for incarcerated trans people.

The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to restrict access to gender-affirming health care in federal prisons, keeping critical protections in place as the legal fight continues.

[Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter]

The stuff about Hunter Schafer should sit in a similar space as Phoebe Bridgers talking about her abortion or AOC freezing her eggs. There's a lot of health care that you need not just to survive but to do so with dignity and autonomy and that, too, is a human right.

[Center for Reproductive Rights @ReproRights]

More than one third of U.S. counties are now in maternity care deserts and since Trump’s funding cuts, 52 maternity wards have closed (with many more at risk of closing). But hey, at least we have thousands of data centers to use up our water and hum all night.

Today my book ‘Playing the Victim: How the Powerful Deny and Attack Survivors of Violence, from Domestic Abuse to Genocide’ is out. My book draws the connections btwn domestic abusers’ tactics (particularly DARVO) and imperialism, Zionism & state violence. Link/more on it below:

When Idaho banned abortion, there was an exodus of doctors. The ones who stayed are now cracking under the caseload and moral distress of knowing what a patient needs but being unable to provide it. Missouri #NoOn3 https://t.co/Sz575Th7sl

[Kylie Cheung @kylietcheung]

Some of the most harmful laws for DV victims are anti-immigrant laws perversely framed around "protecting" women. In reality these laws put immigrant victims at exponentially greater risk, give their abusers/exploitative employers exponentially more power to threaten them, etc

“Officers were responding to a shoplifting call alleging that Wiley’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell had stolen a pack of diapers.”

This is unacceptable. This baby died over a resource that should be free. Absolutely disgusting to call this justified.

Maryam Ahmed Ghanem is being treated at Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital for second-degree burns to her face and body, and smoke inhalation, a year into the so-called ceasefire, after an Israeli strike murdered her 33-year old mother in the middle of the night Wednesday.

Columbus used a 15th-century legal doctrine to colonize and slaughter the Indigenous peoples he encountered. And it's still the law in the U.S. today. 1/3
