From a local repro org, I learned there's a fundraiser for someone criminalized for a pregnancy outcome in Ohio. Let's give them a hand with dealing with that if we're able, yeah?

"AMAZING news: the #ReproductiveFreedom Act in #Ohio has now officially been CERTIFIED to be on the #ballot in this November's election. It gathered 495,938 signatures from 55 counties across Ohio. Republicans messed around & women & young people will make them find out."

"Okay, but Ohioans need to get the fuck to the polls for our special #election on August 8th!!! The Republican fucks are trying to change our simple majority necessary for amendments to 60%. The Columbus Dispatch says "Issue 1 is one of the most significant questions Ohio voters will be asked in generations," and that's no exaggeration. Get out there, and #vote no. Early voting and absentee ballot requests are still going on, if you are registered to vote!"

"Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose admitted last month “[Issue 1] is 100% about keeping a radical, pro-abortion amendment out of our constitution."

by #JeremyDuda in #Axios:

"On the eve of the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Gov. Katie Hobbs is barring Arizona's 15 county attorneys from prosecuting abortion-related crimes and centralizing that authority under the attorney general's office."

1990 anarcha-feminist abortion struggle:

“Racist, Sexist, Anti-Gay, Born Again Bigots Go Away!” Two dozen black-clad anarchists chanted as they stood with arms linked confronting far-right activists who were attempting to shut down an abortion clinic in the New York City suburb of Dobbs Ferry. It was 1990 and the notorious anti-abortion group Operation Rescue was targeting clinics across the country in their “Operation Goliath” summer of action. The recently formed NYC Autonomous Anarchist Action group collaborated with members of ACT UP and Women’s Health Action and Mobilization to protect the clinic, at one point physically pushing away a concerted assault. Responding to the “Goliath” reference, the anarchists yelled “Better Watch Who You Harass, Operation David’s Gonna Kick Your Ass!” Thanks to the defense team, the abortion clinic completed every scheduled appointment that day.

This action reflected a new direction in the reproductive freedom movement. As the far right escalated its attacks on abortion clinics, feminists across the country drew on a new repertoire of anarchist tactics and strategies to defeat them. Women in the burgeoning Love and Rage anarchist network, including Autonomous Anarchist Action, advocated a confrontational response to Operation Rescue. Although grounded in the 1970s women’s liberation movement, this younger generation of revolutionary feminists was also inspired by militant anti-fascists in Anti-Racist Action and squatters in Autonome groups in Western Europe who began the use of black bloc tactics in the 1980s—wearing all black and covering their faces to remain anonymous and act collectively at demonstrations. Anarchists brought these confrontational tactics to clinic defenses, vowing to do whatever it took to prevent the return of the days of back-alley abortions.

On the other hand, #PlannedParenthood Problem article in the #NewYorker says PP is not providing #mifepristone to pts because their lawyers say the risk of being sued is too high.

Unless PP reverses its course, my donation dollars are going to the #abortion Access Fund, and I recommend you do the same.

SCOTUS Temporarily Blocks Ludicrous Ruling on Abortion Pill
Per NBC:

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked a court decision that prevents patients from obtaining the key abortion pill mifepristone by mail.

In a brief order issued by Justice Samuel Alito, the court put on hold in full a decision issued by Texas-based U.S. District

O mifepristone, pill of life
Your strength and power can cut down strife
Though a Trump-appointed judge tried to remove you
Courts of justice will not approve
Your access we will always defend
And your strength will last right to the end

#AbortionRightsNow #ReproductiveFreedom #AbortionIsHealthcare Stand up for Abortion Rights actions April 14th

The Abrahamic religions, philosophy, and science are all unclear about whether non-viable fetuses and fetal tissue constitute "human life." Republicans, however, would rather kill actual women, just to be safe.
