If Florida's supreme court upholds a recently passed ban on abortions after six-weeks, the nearest states with accessible abortions may end up being New York and Illinois. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/desantis-abortion-ban-florida-supreme-court-1234821270/ #politics #USPol #Florida #reproductiveRights #abortion

I remember when #Republicans used to "support the troops." #Trump taught Republicans that they could pick and choose the times they wanted to do that ("I like people who weren't captured."). Tuberville apparently likes a military that restricts #ReproductiveRights, and that accepts #extremism in the force. It's therefore OK to punish such a "woke and emasculated"* institution (*Ted Cruz's words).

Our friends at Pro-Choice North Carolina are hosting a week-long fundraiser and educational event to inform the public about the current state of abortion access in North Carolina.

Their goals are to educate North Carolinians about the changes to abortion access since the overturning of Roe v Wade and the passing of SB20 in NC, and to empower advocates to help them restore that access!

#RFKJr's position on #ReproductiveRights is even more radical than Republicans.

I always want to ask #ProLife people, “How are you, as an individual, and as a community member, affected if somebody else gets an #abortion?”

Murder is different: it has significant costs to the community... murder makes people fear for the safety of themselves and their families, and that fear changes how we live our lives in material, negative ways.

"A study by the University of Colorado estimates a 24 percent increase in maternal deaths if the United States bans abortion federally. They predicted the increase would be even higher for Black patients, at 39 percent."

It's the 100th anniversary of the ERA. Can we pass it now? My granddaughters turned 2 today, and my activism on this started 50 years ago. When can we all get some peace, justice, and equality?

Republicans, especially those of the faux Christian persuasion, have a sinfully sickening habit of not keeping their god-damned noses out of other people’s books, bathrooms, bedrooms, pants, and wombs.

House narrowly passes divisive #Pentagon policy bill - restricting #military personnel's access to reproductive care and defunding #diversity, #equity and #inclusion programs. Said an AZ #Republican representative: "The military was never intended to be inclusive. Its strength is not its diversity. Its strength is its standards."

Evangelicals:

If you want to pray for embryos and fetuses, by all means, pray; but stop kneeling on women’s bodies and women’s rights to do so.

You don’t want religious freedom; the First Amendment already secures that. What you people want is dominionism, which is nothing more than fascism wearing a crucifix while dealing drugs: a poorly-penned, overwritten fantasy “book” series.

If the recent SCOTUS decision means Congress can write off student debt, then we've got work to do.

We need to take back the House and get a few more seats in the Senate.

We need to elect Senators (and get serving Senators) on board with:

1. Codifying Roe v., Wade

2. Authorizing forgiveness of student debt

3. Passing federal legislation protecting LGBTQ folks

The moral arc of the universe bends toward justice only if we bend it.
