A leaked draft indicates #SCOTUS will likely overturn #RoevWade. We did the research and we have the receipts: This will have severe consequences for pregnant people and their families.

Let’s look at the facts about abortion denial. 🧵

But this is the sober reality – and what all of us (our team, the abortion movement, and practical support orgs) have been preparing for: We could soon be facing tens of thousands of people who need support traveling to access care. Please donate today: https://t.co/ksuQLL55yM

Our team at @BrigidAlliance was built exactly for this moment. In March we helped 119 people travel to their abortion care, and this spring we'll help hundreds more. Regardless of what the Supreme Court ruling says, we will help people get to the care they need and deserve.

The twitter space has always confounded me. But on this night, when screaming into the void seems especially futile, I feel a certain yearning for the community I don’t know yet. I want to know you and I want you to know me and my team’s work at @BrigidAlliance. So here we go.

"You cannot remedy a racist history by continuing a racist policy." AMAZING answer by @Guttmacher's @HerminiaPalacio to a question from @NitaLowey on the disproportionate impact of the Hyde Amendment on people of color. #BeBoldEndHyde

Thank you Mandy!!! #NoOn115

[Mandy Patinkin @PatinkinMandy]

This is nuts! Please share with everyone who knows anyone in Colorado. We’ve seen these tactics before in states like Georgia & Alabama. A ban on abortion later in pregnancy is a step to banning abortion outright. Coloradans can stop Prop 115. https://t.co/RyUXqIBxSO #NoOn115

A client of the Brigid Alliance wrote about having to travel to Colorado for an abortion after being turned away from providers in her home state. Read her full piece, which also urges CO voters to vote #Noon115, the anti-abortion ballot measure, Prop 115: https://t.co/iLIhHxOrAt

[Abortion Access For All - No On 115 @access4allco]

150 people who've had an abortion later in pregnancy speak out against Prop 115. They know firsthand lives and pregnancies are complex, and that abortion bans offer no compassion for individual circumstances. Read their letter and vote #NoOn115: https://t.co/D2iHPwjcnr

[odile schalit @odileschalit]

This is important. Listen up and read the words of people - from Crystal Good to Claire - telling their experiences having and accessing abortions. Vote no on #prop115.

"My name is Claire and I traveled to Colorado for my abortion. This is my story and why I’m asking Coloradans to vote NO on #Prop115." #copolitics https://t.co/1AgCWO8Zsg

Mazie Hirono is the most underrated member of the Senate I will die on this hill.

Remember:
Most people who have abortions are already parenting.
Most people who have abortions identify as religious.
Most people who have abortions are low income.
Most people who have abortions do not regret our decision.
And we
are
people
too.

This is for the Gen Xers, but wouldn't it be great if this convention had pop-up video?

When this is over I'm gonna need to go to like a 10,000-person rave, do not care if I'm pregnant I'll be rolling my goddamn brains out on the proximity of other people's skin alone
