Abortion bans put ALL pregnant people at risk. Not just people who have abortions. ALL pregnant people. You are not safe because you plan to stay pregnant, or if you don’t think you’d ever have an abortion.

Netanyahu has not allowed any food, water, or fuel into Gaza in two weeks.
Now he has resumed bombing, killing hundreds of people and breaking the ceasefire that had given Gaza a chance to live again.
NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Literally all of us need to be demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. His lawyer doesn’t know where he is. His wife who is 8 months pregnant doesn’t know where he is. He is a permanent resident with a green card and was disappeared by ICE after being taken from Columbia student housing.
Mahmoud Khalil was inside his university-owned apartment Saturday night when several Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered and took him into custody.
