Melinda Gates could pay for every abortion in America every year in perpetuity. So could MacKenzie Scott. If they wanted to they would, you might say

The #Criminalization of pregnant people is rooted in and supported by #Viability & other arbitrary #AbortionBans

#BirthJustice & #AbortionJustice are inextricably tied

The people are ready to get gov ALL THE WAY OUT

@ReproRights Indeed. So why restrict rights through WHPA which you sponsor?

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

I share some opinions about abortion research and policy at https://t.co/X6vm7GU1F3 via @YouTube (I start around min 22 but the whole thing is worth a listen).

@ReproRights @TIME Try examining why you chose to use the word “even” in this sentence. Abortion stigma perpetuated in this way is harmful.

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

via @NYTimes. This article explains so clearly how reproductive injustice is tied to capitalism. https://t.co/CmLCMg2sbe

@ReproRights Except it includes a ban-admit it. Stop pretending it protects our full rights. We deserve better than Roe.

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

@ReproRights If you believe exceptions don’t work then remove them from the framework of the WHPA which you promote.

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

@nwlc I know it is strategic to talk about the women who will “die” without expanded abortion rights. However the vast majority of people harmed will have their lives, dreams, and families derailed. We don’t have to make public health arguments to argue for our reproductive autonomy.

My favorite academic thing is when a book—researched years before—becomes incredibly relevant. Check out Cromer’s Conceiving Christian American. https://t.co/chRbXYl7Po

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

Abortion is sociological, not just political or medical. Read all about it in my new article with Dr. Kimport @ANSIRH. https://t.co/MDpEVoqcEY

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

@ReproRights Then why do you endorse viability limits?

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

Yesterday Prez Biden said he isn't for "abortion on demand." So what?--he wants us to beg, ask his permission, get an approval note from a doctor? Absolutely not. Years of research shows people know when they need an abortion--and then they SHOULD demand one. #abortionondemand

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

Here's what happens when you have to ask a doctor for an abortion but can't demand it. They decide whether you provided the right kind of gender performance. Check out an article we wrote years ago on the stratified legitimacy of abortion. https://t.co/rWKIV0nMcL

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

Blue states need to take a cold hard look at how THEY still fail their residents in providing abortion access. It is a complete embarrasment.

California Universities Are Required To Offer Students Abortion Pills. A Lot Just Don't Mention It https://t.co/XRvQUhfejo

[Dr. Tracy Weitz @TracyWeitz]

@ReproRights @BU_Law Stop endorsing criminalizing abortion after viability. Respect all people’s need for abortion, not just those you find “worthy.”

[Renee Bracey Sherman @RBraceySherman]

Then, the demand was simple: abolish all abortion laws. While the Roe decision legalized abortion, it gave the power to the state and to doctors, not those of us who need abortions. It solidified the government's interest in pregnancy and abortion decisions. We gave up power.
