One day y'all are going to stop beating the codify Roe drum and dream bigger. You'll also maybe realize that it's not just women who need abortions. You gotta post better than this over here.
Three years ago, SCOTUS overturned the constitutional right to abortion, stripping women of their bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom– handing it to state governments.
The consequences of this decision have been deadly.
Dems won’t stop fighting until Roe is again law of the land.

A story that got less attention was the incredibly cynical primary of my amazing Councilwoman—the first Muslim woman ever elected to the NYC Council—by a billionaire, corporate-backed candidate also lobbing gross accusations of antisemitism. Anyway, the challenger got trounced. Hell yea.
Thank you, Brooklyn! Getting to represent the neighborhoods that raised me is the greatest privilege of my life.

Incredible news! Montana’s Supreme Court just affirmed that the state’s gender affirming care ban is likely unconstitutional.
This makes the state the first state Supreme Court to rule that trans medical care is protected.
This applies REGARDLESS of what the US Supreme Court does.
