What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.
To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Right now, Republicans are working to ‘replace’ reproductive healthcare clinics with crisis pregnancy centers—claiming that the fake clinics are perfectly acceptable alternatives to the credible healthcare centers their policies are shuttering.

The South Carolina senator behind SB 323 says his bill wouldn't outlaw birth control.
But we found a pamphlet he wrote that says “all forms of the birth control pill” kill a “human being.”

If you’re still trying to figure out why Trump’s FDA approved a generic form of mifepristone, I break it down here.
The short version, which I also laid out in the newsletter, is that the agency didn’t really have a choice.

This headline from Politico is incorrect and feeds into anti-abortion scare tactics: doctors aren't 'anonymously' prescribing abortion pills - their name just isn't publicly visible on the pill bottle.

Let's talk about Tylenol and pregnancy.
Fundamentally, this is about making sure women do not get one ounce of relief, but it's also about criminalization.
How long do you think it's going to be before they arrest someone for taking Tylenol during a pregnancy? We are going down that road.

In 2022, Kansas voters *overwhelmingly* defeated an anti-abortion ballot measure.
Ohio voters passed an abortion rights amendment in 2023.
And Missouri? You guessed it! Voters passed Amendment 3 this past November.
So no, we don't need 'pro-life Democrats' to win.
