WOOF! These four years have felt like decades, or at least 23 years — which is also how many states currently restrict abortion access. We’ve seen abortion bans, hospital parking lot horror stories, and lawmakers doing everything in their power to take away the will of the people. But we’ve also seen immense outpourings of people power, positivity, and pro-abortion vibes. And YOU — yes, you! Reading this right now! — are a huge part of that. THANK YOU! Now, let’s carry that energy into the coming years and arm ourselves with all the facts and all the ways you can keep fighting back!
Soylent Green is People, And IVF-cicles Are Children
That’s right, The Supreme Chud in Charge has decreed that YES! Frozen embryos are children and you can adopt them! No, it’s not the plot of the latest A24 horror flick, it’s the real, actual manifestation of the anti-abortion movement’s sickest dreams and most disgusting hopes: creating fetal personhood. Fetal personhood opens the door to banning all abortion and contraception. But it’s not all bad news, it might also mean anyone bearing quadruplets is a basketball team. Swoosh!
Missouri: Less Misery And More Mifepristone
A judge in the Show Me state stood on business and ruled that the state’s abortion restrictions violated their constitutional amendment ensuring Missourians right to abortion care. BOOM, BABY!!!! That has providers eager to get back in the game offering medication abortion with telemedicine.
We had to bring in the heaviest hitter for this week’s Dobbs anniversary podcast.
