I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action.

She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound.

This is what bans do.

"Black people have always been this nation’s Avengers. Cory Booker gave it a go as Captain America for a day." Booker's powerful act was more than political theater; it was patriotism in action. @carronjphillips.bsky.social explains
Cory Booker delivered a historic speech because we're in extraordinary times
History will determine how the senator's marathon speech is remembered. It will also remind us why the speech was necessary.
