Some good news, in case you missed it:
The Wisconsin Supreme Court RESTORED ABORTION RIGHTS across the state by striking down a 176-year-old abortion ban.
This comes after years of work to break the court's conservative majority.
We CAN win.

Men sure love to mansplain abortion bans
“There’s an exception for the life of a mother!”
“No one is being arrested for a miscarriage!”
“It’s fear mongering!”
No. Abortion bans kill. They cause unnecessary delays in care. Criminal charges have been laid for pregnancy loss. It’s all about control

In some measles cases, the virus does not go away entirely, but rather it hides dormant in the brain. Then, some 7-10 years later, neurological symptoms appear, and the incurable progression of SSPE begins, almost always fatal. Surviving victims are so rare they are written up as case studies.

Some children in Texas are in the hospital with signs of liver damage from excessive Vitamin A. RFK pushed it as a miracle cure for measles.
Cod liver oil has preformed Vitamin A. RFK recently falsely claimed it wasn't toxic because it was "food."
Vitamin A doesn't prevent measles infection.
