‘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 Amanda Gorman took a stand against abortion bans in the U.S. & her words are just as relevant today.
Indigenous folks, immigrants & newcomers, women, queer and trans folks, Jewish folks, Black folks, Asian folks, Muslims and Hindus and many others: *these* people face actual discrimination and oppression. @ABDanielleSmith kicked dirt in all their faces. On her first day at work.
I do @brielarson and I know there are plenty of us who love you as Carol. Gross misogynists don't get to silence those of us who love you and Captain Marvel ❤️
The term “pregnant people” includes pregnant women & also people who are pregnant but are not women. It doesn’t in any way erase/deny women; it’s just more inclusive. I am a woman. I have friends who are not women but can get pregnant. Language that includes them doesn’t hurt me.
Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.
It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.
People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.
You asked, you tweeted, you BEGGED, and now it's finally here! Certified dog dad (and, you know, actor) @ChrisEvans swung by for the best puppy interview ever‼️#ChrisEvansPuppyInterview https://t.co/c9xTEQswXV
Really trying not to take it personally that the 11 year-old I volunteer with seriously thought I was at least 60 today. I guess growing out my greys really does add 30 years. 🤦🏻♀️
