Friday, the day of the week that seemingly takes a millennium to get to, is finally here! And so is Abortion Access Front, coming in with this week’s abobo buzz to keep you informed and ready to fight back!
The Montana Monster Who Planned To Kill An Abortion Provider Was Finally Charged
Not all men, but always… a man. One of whom, last month, went to an anti-abortion rally, then later showed up at a Missoula abortion provider’s home with a gun. He pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of assault with a weapon, one felony charge of intimidation, and one misdemeanor charge of trespassing with a plan to commit murder. He is currently being held on a FIVE MILLION dollar bail but we assume he will be granted a Presidential pardon if found guilty.
Apparently, Making Insurance Companies Cover Abortion Care is Now Discrimination
The Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) is investigating the thirteen states that require health insurance plans to cover abortion care. HHS is apparently sooOooOo concerned about these poor wittle helpless insurance companies being “coerced” into actually covering healthcare. Where the fuck is this energy for all of the patients who have ZERO insurance coverage for abortion care?
Conservative Presidents = More Pregnant Women Worldwide Dying
Just when you thought having an anti-abortion ghoul as US president was bad enough for those of us in the US, a new study shows that women across the world also suffer the consequences. In fact, global maternal mortality increases by a whopping 10.5%!
Makes sense. Turns out, wearing a Temu rubber boob suit is not the most popular conservative kink. Apparently, slashing aid for global family planning and completely blocking any funding to organizations that provide or refer abortion services is the new cialis.
