Today is a sad day. We are being forced to stop doing the work we love for a community we love. We know that even though we’re not closing our doors, being blocked from providing abortions will mean the needs of this community will not be met.

We will keep fighting.

1\ In the wake of TXSB8 & the reversal of Roe, abortion funds in TX & across the country have had to double down on their essential work compensating for a collapsed abortion care infrastructure.

[Renee Bracey Sherman @RBraceySherman]

This is a wonderful video by @MorePerfectUS on the rise of abortion workers organizing and unionizing their workplaces (and not just because @clozilly is dripped in an @AbortionStories shirt!)

Take a minute to watch. Repro workers deserve economic and reproductive justice, too.

Profs @gomez_vel and @SoohooCindy discuss the recent #SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe v. Wade with @MikeGilliamTV on #LetItRip via @cunytv

[CUNY Law Review @CUNYLawReview]

Prof. @SoohooCindy breaks down what Dobbs means for the push to establish rights for zygotes, embryos, and fetuses as the Supreme Court takes them away from pregnant people.

[Cindy SooHoo @SoohooCindy]

Dobbs resets the constitutional balance btwn pregnant people & the claims the state can make on their bodies on behalf of prenatal life. In doing so, it opens the door for zygotes, embryos, and fetuses to gain rights even as pregnant people lose them. https://t.co/1yzGmGz6gc

[Kelli Garcia @Kelli_Gar]

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.

[Kelli Garcia @Kelli_Gar]

And a final note: All abortions are needed abortions. You shouldn’t have to be sick or dying or prove you have a “good reason.” Not wanting to be pregnant is all the reason you need. #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionIsEssential

[Kelli Garcia @Kelli_Gar]

How will you respond if, while you are waiting, they take a sudden turn–their fallopian tube ruptures or they stroke out? What happens when the doctors are too slow and they die? How will you feel then?

[Kelli Garcia @Kelli_Gar]

Now ask yourself how you will respond when the person you love needs medical treatment to save their life but they can’t get it. Instead, you have to hope they get sick enough that the doctors will declare their life in danger but not so sick that they actually die.

[Kelli Garcia @Kelli_Gar]

Don’t say-but there are exceptions for when the person’s life is in danger. Most of these cases wouldn't meet those exceptions. Doctors will err on the side of protecting the fetus for fear of being jailed or fined. This already happens here in the US. It will only get worse.
