If You Don’t Like Abortion, Then Don’t Have One! You don't own my uterus, so you shouldn't dictate what I can and cannot do with it. #kthanksbye #abortion #prochoice #antichoice #shoutyourabortion

[Whole Woman's Health @WholeWomans]

Gentle reminders for Wednesday, Sept 1 in Texas:

1. Our clinics are providing abortions in accordance with the law.
2. We unwavering in believing Texans deserve abortion care in their own communities.
3. We love our patients, partners, and supporters.
4. Our work is not over.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

So mask mandates violate our freedom but forced childbearing doesn't?

@Tryn2BKind So glad to hear that! It was definitely an unforgettable read. I just posted a roundup of 2019 reads as well if you've ever read any of them, or would like to suggest any books I should read by and about women!

People are deliberately starting fires in the #AmazonRainforest to illegally deforest indigenous land for cattle ranching

[Jamie Sarai Margolin 🇵🇸 @Jamie_Margolin]

When #NotreDame, an old building in France caught on fire, every major media outlet was covering it.

Right now the #AmazonRainforest, the LUNGS of our planet, are burning, I don't see any mainstream coverage at all.

Where are our priorities?

These bans won’t end abortion; they will just end safe and legal abortions.

[NowThis Impact @nowthisimpact]

Stacey Abrams, who was raised to believe abortion is wrong, has dedicated her political career to fighting for reproductive rights. Listen to her journey to becoming a pro-choice leader.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

We cannot go back to the days before Roe v. Wade when women were dying from unsafe abortions. Women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies. And doctors should be able to provide care safely and without fear. Full stop.

[Kenneth Preston @kennethrpreston]

A little more than a year after this photo was taken, both are gone.

In February, Meadow was killed in the Parkland shooting. This week, Sydney took her own life.

Please consider donating to her family to help cover some of the funeral costs. https://t.co/qxeUeFLhx1

"She is electrocuted three times, but three times she refuses to die. Ridiculous farce. As if she has not died enough times already." #electricchair #patriarchy #misogyny #execution #notwomensfiction #novelsaboutwomen

"Where do the blood bags go? Where the tiny arms? Those partial miracles—unfinished. Shrieking placentas. Chronicles of nothing. Every hole sealed up. The solemn after-instructions. She'sweeping—no sound coming out." #abortion #book #prochoice #defiance

[thingshesays @things_he_says_]

"#Mother, a creature now of #monstrous stature, utterly perfected. She rips her garments, she pulls out her hair, she shrieks and rages, but she never weeps. Out lives were ice, stone, bitter wine, bread we could not eat. I am #mute. I am #frightened of her—and of everything."

[thingshesays @things_he_says_]

"As if it were a personal insult, a defiance, the laughter of women. Women suffered, people suffered, women suffered. That my mother laughed...laughed boldly, promiscuously, without discretion and loudly, was unforgivable to my loutish father." #danger #believewomen #defiance

[thingshesays @things_he_says_]

"Those girls hide her glasses. Call her names. They mock her: the locket she wears, her crooked teeth, her frizzy hair. Throw stones, those girls. Rip pages from her books. Oh why that? Anything but that." #bullying #rude #notwomensfiction #womenwritefiction #novel #bullies
