NEW: The Trump admin quietly implemented a new policy that essentially bans abortion at VA facilities—including in cases of rape or serious health risk—confirming what we've always known: Trump's promise to leave abortion to the states was a lie.

@cbsnews.com Want to know what failed (and continues to fail) women? Governments did. Corporations did. Lawmakers did. Courts did. Patriarchy did. Media did—by asking absurd questions like this instead of holding power systems accountable. Feminism is the reason we can name the harm & demand better.

Our communities are stronger with immigrants. We all belong here and deserve dignity, safety, and respect. On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we once again denounce Trump's fascist actions of detaining and deporting community members, tearing apart families, and creating a culture of fear.

These attacks against the trans community have nothing to do with proven medicine or science—and everything to do with cruelty and control. We will fight relentlessly to stop these rules from taking effect.

Pete Hegseth has got to go.

He has always been a racist, sexist transphobe — but now, it's been made clear that he is responsible for the illegal boat strikes that killed helpless civilians at sea who had not been charged or convicted of any crime. That is murder.

Everyone should be able to access affordable health care, including abortion care.

While Senate Democrats tried to pass a clean bill to stop health care premiums from skyrocketing, the majority of Senate Republicans voted to rip away care from millions.

Yesterday, 33 advocates from across the country joined us on Capitol Hill to urge lawmakers to prioritize families, children, and early educators. With rising child care costs, low pay for educators, and threats to Medicaid and SNAP, robust federal investment in child care is more urgent than ever.

Tomorrow, the Senate will vote on a bill that would save millions of Americans from skyrocketing health care costs. But some Senate Republicans are trying to sabotage the effort by adding a backdoor abortion coverage ban to the bill.

Working people need health care. Not political games.

These pronatalist-inspired "Trump accounts" aren't pro-family—unless your family is already rich. Most families are stretched thin as it is & can't afford to invest. Real pro-family policies provide ACTUAL support for those who need it most—instead of making the rich richer.

The past few years have seen a troubling rise in political violence toward women in the United States, targeting their participation in civic life.

"Pronatalism is about forcing one religious world view on the entire country. In that way, it’s nothing more than white Christian nationalism in disguise."
Pronatalism: Just White Christian Nationalism in Disguise
Scratch just beneath the surface of the so-called pronatalism movement—a movement all over the pages of Project 2025 that’s based on the belief that people need to have more babies because declining birth rates are a threat to civilization—and you’ll find that it’s basically just white Christian nationalism in disguise.
