"They used to throw women in the water to see if they were witches. If they drowned, they were innocent. Now they're saying the only #abortion exception is if the woman's life is at risk. If she dies, she was at risk.
You can see the recurring flaw in the methodology."
In 2015, Democratic Elk Grove Assemblyman Jim Cooper voted for Senate Bill 34, which restricted law enforcement from sharing automated license plate reader (ALPR) data with out-of-state authorities. In 2023, now-Sacramento County Sheriff Cooper appears to be doing just that....
BREAKING: With more than 700,000 signatures submitted, the #Ohio Secretary of State announced that a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive freedom has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot this fall.
We have a right to #abortion care and we will vote for it.
“#Oregon Supreme Court: 10 Republican state senators who staged record-long walkout last year to stall bills on #abortion, #transgender health care & #GunRights cannot run for reelection.

In Alabama, three hospitals are preparing to stop delivering babies. Some families (mostly Black) will have to drive 35-100 mi to get to a labor & delivery unit. Why? Because Ob-Gyns are leaving the state as they fear getting arrested for doing their job, which can involve ending a pregnancy to save a woman's life.
Alabama has the highest maternal mortality in the U.S. & the 3rd highest infant mortality. That will go up.
Christianity does not have the right to decide for everyone else what is acceptable clothing, social or sexual relationships, culture, beliefs, or lifestyle.
Christianity only has the right to tell their own cult members what to do or not do.
Legislating religious beliefs is unconstitutional, period.
Legislating christian religious beliefs about abortion, lgbtq, women's rights, or anything else is a violation of my 1st amendment right to freedom of religious practice.
It is also a violation of the UN Charter of Human Rights - especially prohibitions against forced pregnancy.
John Irving: “What are they banning? They’re banning books about abortion and they’re banning books on LGBTQ subjects, What they’re saying to young, gay, lesbian, trans kids, they want them to feel even more alone and isolated than they already feel. They don’t want those kids to have access to material that will let them know they’re not alone. They already feel alone. There’s a cruelty to that that is unspeakable.” #lgbtq#BookBans#transgender#abortion#JohnIrving
He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.
His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan before he was fired.
Truly alarming news for anyone needing an #abortion in a state with anti-abortion laws:
“Scientists in Poland have reportedly developed lab tests that can detect whether people have taken abortion pills—and those tests are already being used to investigate pregnancy outcomes under the country’s abortion ban.”
#Idaho Banned #Abortion. Then It Turned Down Supports for Pregnancies and Births.
Since the #SupremeCourt overturned Roe v. Wade last year, the state’s GOP-led Legislature has disbanded a maternal mortality committee, failed to expand postpartum #Medicaid coverage and turned down federal grants for child care.
Jessica Burgess, a #Nebraska mother accused of helping her teenage daughter use pills to end her pregnancy, was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison.
Time to spell out how many U.S. states now drastically intrude on women's liberty to control their own bodies. These states have outright bans on #abortion: TN, TX, W. Va, WI, ND, SD, ID, KY, Okla., Ark. LA, Miss., MO. These states ban abortion after 6 weeks: GA, NB. After 12 weeks: Utah, Ariz., FL, NC. #women#patriarchy
ATTENTION Younger folks — let that sink in! You probably assumed birth control was always legal … because why wouldn’t it be?
It took a Supreme Court decision in the 1965 legalize birth control for MARRIED women; it wasn’t available to unmarried women until another Supreme Court case in 1972!
Now Republicans want to turn back the clock to make birth control illegal again — taking away women’s health choices even more than when they got the right to abortion reversed.
The ONLY thing women can do to fight this is vote for Democratic candidates at every level of government — but particularly in Federal elections. Gove Biden/Harris the majorities in the House and Srnate they need to pass Federal laws to protect our freedom of choice. #choice#abortion#birthcontrol
