Jezebel: Sex. Celebrity. Politics. With Teeth: Nikki Haley Insists Tommy Tuberville & U.S. Military Are Both Wrong in Standoff Over Abortion Policy https://jezebel.com/nikki-haley-insists-tommy-tuberville-u-s-military-ar-1850826216 #Jezebel #tommytuberville #nikkihaley #jaketapper #abortion #politics

But eventually most of these issues are likely to be resolved by #SCOTUS, & the court’s 6-member #Republican-appointed majority has generally ruled in ways that favor the #conservative #social-policy priorities reflected in the #redstate actions. That inclination was most dramatically demonstrated in last year’s #Dobbs decision, when the Court overturned the #constitutional #right to #abortion.

Some #states are even exploring options to potentially prosecute people who help #women travel out of state to obtain an #abortion.

In the early #legal skirmishing over this agenda, opponents including the federal #DOJ have won a surprising number of decisions, mostly in #FederalCourt, blocking #states from implementing the new #laws.

This rhymes with your toot on the topic yesterday. It all makes a lot of sense as compromise improvements we should adopt.

We disagree on #abortion. Here’s a #pro-family agenda both parties can support. https://wapo.st/45Nhmpp

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

"White men have controlled women’s reproductive rights throughout US history. The post-Dobbs era is no different.
This is not the first period in U.S. history when white men have exercised control over women’s right to bear – or not bear – children, including during slavery."

~ Rodney Coates

Recommended read.

This is desperately dishonest framing, as dishonest as “pro-life”.

The Republicans are anti-woman, anti-freedom, anti-choice, anti-healthcare.

We are no anti-life or anti-baby, as their framing would imply.

This is interesting...Republicans are strategizing about semantics. They still want to eliminate the right to abortion, but not say they are pro-life.

I want the t-shirt the woman with the purple hair is wearing that says "Pro Fucking Choice." The pretty "feminine" flowers beneath the text are also a nice touch.

This is a fictional alternative future in which there is no experimental medical product used as an intelligence test to weed out the undesirables and instead mandatory abortions for unmarried people and a raised minimum age of marriage of 40 years old is used. The feminists have bombed countries in a war on female illiteracy

Abortion rights are at stake in Virginia’s off-year election.

Forced-birth Republicans have a slim majority in their House.

Democrats hold a 2-vote Senate majority.

How a conservative, gun-toting doctor defended abortion access in Appalachia

"After Roe fell, he ordered himself a custom bumper sticker. “ABORT SCOTUS,” it said, in all-caps, red on black."

I want that sticker. Back when I, too, was a conservative gun-toter, I was pro-abortion rights, pro-gay rights, and pro-social safety nets. A long time ago that wasn't really unusual. Then the right went insane. I said ok well then I'm outta here. #abortion #politics

#Mexico’s Supreme Court threw out all federal criminal penalties for abortion Wednesday, ruling that national laws prohibiting the procedure are unconstitutional and violate women’s rights in a sweeping decision that extended Latin American’s trend of widening abortion access.

The high court ordered that #abortion be removed from the federal penal code.
#Mexique : l' #avortement n'est plus un crime dans les livres de lois

The Mexican Supreme Court has decriminalised #abortion on the federal level. “The legal system that penalises abortion is unconstitutional since it violates the human rights of women and people with the ability to carry a fetus,” said the @SCJN.
