Tennessee does not fuck around. Especially when it comes to fighting for the people. I hope the country is paying attention because Aftyn Behn is going to make history in congressional district 7.

When I say I'm fighting for reproductive rights, I mean I'm fighting for everyone's reproductive rights: democrats, republicans, independents, and anyone in between.

I’ve spent the last hour trying to put the SC S.B. 323 proposed language to ban birth control into an easy to understand visual flow chart. I asked my husband if it made sense and he said no. Fine. Then he proposed this simple chart instead, which, yes, is actually correct.

Rep. Gloria Johnson is presenting her bill now. It would protect contraception and abortion in the state. “Women need to be able to determine when they want a family—not with the legislature.” #tnleg @votegloriaj.bsky.social

The #tnleg will hear a bill in the house today regarding IVF. The bill would seek to make a contract between the state, the patient and the doctor, remove all genetic testing and limit the amount of eggs to be fertilized and require custodial care plans for “abandoned embryos.” Horrific.
