Given these people tracked menstrual cycles of detained women, tried to prevent a teenager from obtaining an abortion and forced birth control and sterilization on others the last time they were in charge, this is just the top of the horrors these women are going through.
Woman w no criminal history detained by ICE after a routine check-in discovered she was pregnant and had a miscarriage while in custody. Judge ordered her released yesterday, citing apparent due process violations.

Antis frame the uterus as a separate entity from the person: This dormant womb entity, which has no purpose outside of reproduction and provides no health benefits to the womb holder, comes to life once a month to prepare itself to house a fetus bootstrapping its way through human development.

Hot Take: Society could believe the 1,000+ survivors instead of waiting for a list.
We’re spending a lot of time talking about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But don’t forget their victims. The survivors.
Not all of them made it. At least two women connected to Epstein’s abuse have died by suicide. The real number may be higher.

They'll use this to justify going further right and will abandon the LGBTQ+ community and will again support forced birth enthusiasts. They already support a man that voted for fetal personhood that is allegedly pro choice now. Yes ppl can change but that's a huge swing left from the starting point.
Congrats to all the Democratic politicians, operatives, pundits & think tankers who will continue being enriched by liberal donors who keep giving you cash to do the same thing forever.
You've won the game of life - you get to keep getting paid huge money while ruining everything for everyone.

The GOP's Medicaid-busting tax scheme is filled with poison pills antithetical to the values of our people. So I wrote a proper preamble for their big, ugly bill.

Instead, she made a point to say, you want original understanding? Ask Black people in 1865. They are the public. They are also (not incidentally) by any definition the originally understood primary beneficiaries of this legislation.
Because, guess what happens when you don't do that? This.

God bless this woman. She is a hero. Every damn word 🔥
The only thing I’d add: call the local police and report the group of men impersonating ICE and the attempted kidnapping—while they’re still lurking around.
