"During the hearing to add [exceptions], some people gave emotional testimonies about considering suicide... People from the crowd would yell each time, 'Better dead than a murderer.' According to Hayworth, Right to Life employees sat there smirking."

I love when I request needed public info, like communications between a state Senator and an anti-abortion lobbyist, and I'm only allowed to see 24 of 109 documents.
What are they talking about that I can't see?👀 Are they writing more of our anti-abortion policies? (see third pic; my reporting)

I think it's important to never lose sight of the fact that there is nothing organic about the anti-trans legislation.
It's all a part of a large pys-op by Christian Nationalist groups.
There was actually backlash to early anti-trans bills🧵
