The abortionsphere is one giant roller coaster, and you never know what will greet you when you wake up each day, but our coven at AAF experienced joy for a minute this week, and we’re bringing y’all with us!
Georgia is BACK to Providing Comprehensive Abortion Care!
Through the fog of the recent horror stories of women dying at the hands of Georgia’s barbaric abortion bans, a light has come through, if even for a moment.
A superior court judge STRUCK DOWN Georgia’s near-total abortion ban, which made abortions illegal past roughly six weeks! THIS IS HUGE, and many clinics are already back to performing abortions up to 22 weeks!
But Of Course, Anti-Abortion White Walkers In Georgia Won’t Let Us Have Nice Things…
Wasting ZERO TIME The Georgia Attorney General (and by “General,” we mean “generally horrific by any decent person’s standards”) has already gone pounding on the door of the Georgia Supreme Court to stop freedom. FOR NOW, we’re grateful for any amount of time where patients can access the abortion care they need in their own state, despite Gov. Brian Kemp’s whiny ass.
Two Great Abortion Books That Go Great Together! And They Are Out This Week!
We’re switching it up this week and assigning y’all homework – but the good kind – because the more we learn about abortion, the more we can fight back. Check out two new books released by our friends: Abortion – Our Bodies, Their Lies, and the Truths We Use to Win by superstar Jessica Valenti, and Liberating Abortion by powerhouses Renee Bracey Sherman and Regina Mahone! Buy the books, order digital copies, request them at your local library… just do what you gotta do to get this pivotal information in your hands! Ours are already on the way.
Okay, Back To The Patriachy Pissing Match
Fake Clinics SUCK
Crisis pregnancy centers, AKA fake clinics, AKA anti-abortion manipulation meccas all across the country receive MILLIONS of dollars to lie and mislead pregnant people. One fake clinic in Attleboro, Massachusetts pushed its horrible tactics even further and is now being sued for digital privacy violation. The fake clinic, called Abundant Hope Pregnancy Resource Center (notice they do not list any medical services on the site and that they are no longer taking “new” patients. Wonder why…), allegedly digitally intercepted patients trying to make REAL abortion clinic appointments to trick them into making appointments there instead! Because nothing says “love” like straight-up lying to people.
WAYS YOU CAN FIGHT BACK!
Expose Fake Clinics Like This One In Addlebrain, MA
Well, if you want to combat fake clinics like this one, Abortion Access Front has a whole program at ExposeFakeClinics.com. There, you can choose from several different ways to stop them, including writing Google reviews. These reviews let people searching for abortion care know that if they see places like this, they will not receive care and could be subjected to coercion and data breaches. It’s a great way to fight back while hate-watching Emily In Paris. Okay, maybe that’s just us.
If that’s not your jam, pop over to our Activist Calendar below to lace up your shoes and get in the fight! Maybe you want to be handed something quick and dirty, okay cool. Here are some handpicked actions just for you!
