Trump and Republicans get the blame for this. This ruling would have been unconstitutional under Roe, but Trump is proud that he stacked SCOTUS with anti-abortion justices who overturned it. There are many effects of losing those protections, and this is one of them.
As always, don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. #AbortionRights
Putting aside the callousness of the denial of #BodilyAutonomy to women [yeah. I know. Hard to do.] But seriously, #Trump is basically in #racist#blackface in this video. WTAF?
Former President Donald Trump on Monday said abortion should be left to the states in the post-Roe era, declining to endorse any national limit on the procedure.
Politico reports: "His announcement, shared on Truth Social, is likely to disappoint anti-abortion groups who hoped he would use his bully pulpit to endorse national restrictions on abortion, especially after his campaign floated a 15-week ban earlier this year."
I hate being right! I called this one two years ago. There are open source period/ovulation that do not connect to a server. Find them on F-droid. If it wants you to log in to something that is a problem!
A U.S. doctor who performs abortions became the first Democratic candidate in Wisconsin's 8th Congressional District on Thursday, entering the race for the seat opened up by the surprise retirement of Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher.
#JosephLieberman, the doggedly independent 4-term #US#senator from #Connecticut who was the Democratic nominee for VP in 2000, becoming the first Jewish candidate on the national ticket of a major party, died March 27 in NYC. He was 82.
The cause was complications from a fall, his family said in a statement.
…#JohnMcCain seriously considered making #JohnLieberman his running mate, but his advisers warned that #Lieberman’s Democratic history & voting record, particularly his stand in favor of #AbortionRights, would anger convention delegates & split the party. McCain instead chose the #RightWing#populist gov of Alaska, Sarah Palin, a decision he later said he regretted.
Most observers, including Lieberman, doubted that his presence on the ticket would have saved McCain from defeat by Obama….
#MarilynLands, a Dem who made #ReproductiveRights a centerpiece of her campaign in deeply #conservative#Alabama, won a special election to the Alabama Legislature.
Lands’ victory in the suburban district in the #DeepSouth state was celebrated by #Democrats who have attempted to portray the state #GOP as too extreme on #abortion & reproductive rights.
"In another installment of I Listened to Sam Alito Talk So You Don't Have To, here's my take on this morning's Supreme Court oral argument in the mifepristone case.
The right wing will likely lose today but theyre coming for a national abortion ban tomorrow."
"Jackson saying why can't the conscientious objecting doctor just, you know, NOT perform abortions and let "everybody else in the country" have the pill.
And... Gorsuch... seems to be... backing her up??
I HEREBY DO DECLARE JUSTICE NEIL GORSUCH "IN PLAY" FOR THE KEEPING THE ABORTION PILL!!!! :)"

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking.
Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ
announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women.
CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.
For years, #reproductivejustice activists have been warning that the GOP’s “fetal personhood” bills would endanger access to birth control and fertility treatment—especially IVF. Why hasn't the media taken them to task? @Athenae for us today.
Harris plans to tour the clinic & speak to healthcare providers. The VP may also talk to patients, though Harris wants to make sure she doesn’t disrupt any services during her visit. She could also speak to reporters outside the clinic.
When events like The Fifth Circuit ruling this week that fathers have the right to deny daughters access to #birthcontrol making it clear that the #Dobbs decision was just the beginning of the rollback of women’s rights, we have loudly question who exactly gets to be "We" in "We the People.
As much as I want the #Democrats to control the #WhiteHouse and #Congress, I don't see how they're going to codify #abortionRights in federal law until two of the fascist #SCOTUS justices are replaced with justices who support #democracy. Any federal law #JoeBiden signs to codify #abortion rights is going to be overturned by the current SCOTUS on "states' rights" grounds.
You want abortion rights back? Dems need to be in power federally AND in the states. Vote accordingly. #politics#USPol
