Thank you @codymcdevitt.bsky.social for your continued advocacy.
Here's the first newsletter in a series I plan on doing about how the Constitution treats shield laws that protect abortion providers. There is a lack of clarity on whether these laws will prevail in court, and much is at stake with whether they do. #abortion

How does the Constitution treat shield laws?
Legal questions abound about the limits and demands of two central parts of the Constitution when dealing with abortion prosecutions and civil lawsuits.

In a private meeting of GOP legislators and anti-abortion activists, Republicans promised to repeal the FACE Act—the federal law prohibiting violence against clinics.

Rep. Andy Biggs made their intent chillingly clear: “God demands justice."

SURVEY🚨According to @KFF.org, people are saying NO THANKS to pregnancy, 20% of uninsured people can't afford to use birth control, & 20% of those surveyed don’t even know where to get contraception! The proof is in the polling, folks– we want contraception, NOT complications https://buff.ly/4itgahP

Excellent 🧵

Thank you @angrybuni.bsky.social
I always laugh when a certain type of man asks me “why do feminists hate men so much?”

My response is this … It’s never been about us hating men.

Porsha Ngumezi should still be here today, with her family. Instead, her life was cut short after doctors refused to treat her miscarriage despite clear signs of sepsis.

This is the brutal reality of abortion bans. They don't just take away choice- they take lives. Porsha deserved better.

There’s no overstating how dangerous this rhetoric is, especially right now.

Anti-abortion groups really want you to believe that the only appropriate care for a dying pregnant woman is the induction of labor or a c-section. Anything else is ‘elective’ (ie, selfish) care.
