"The United States is ending its financial support for family planning programs in developing countries, cutting nearly 50 million women off from access to contraception.
This policy change has attracted little attention amid the wholesale dismantling of American foreign aid, but it stands to have enormous implications, including more maternal deaths and an overall increase in poverty."

At least four states are trying to classify abortion as 𝙝𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚.
You probably know this but ... most of those legislators dont give a shit about abortion morally-- they have their mistresses get them all the time. Abortion laws are a weapon: a tool of violence used by the state to control, criminalize, and punish. Boooooo!
So, if you or your pals need an abortion and y'alls state is run by theocratic ghouls:
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝟱𝟬 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

And if you 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 currently need an abortion, but you have the financial means (around $65 a pill if you dont use a physician)—𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽. Abortion pills are safe to store, and having a few on hand could mean helping a comrade who can’t afford them now, or who’ll need them later when they restrict access even more.

She Launched “The Daily Show.” Now She’s Fighting Red State Abortion Bans.
For abortion rights advocate Lizz Winstead, her work has never felt more urgent. But her path to advocacy was a curvy one. She started out as a comedian, first as a stand-up and eventually as the co-creator of The Daily Show, which redefined television by deftly combining comedy and politics. “I kept getting increasingly unnerved […]

I live in #TX and I can't afford to leave. I'm also #unemployed.
If you believe in #ReproductiveJustice, and that #abortion is #healthcare, please also vocally advocate for access to gender-affirming healthcare.
The #government must not have the #power to control what people can or cannot do with their own bodies.
"Georgia has no law dictating how to dispose of miscarriage remains, but police arrested her anyway...
"We warned that this would happen. For decades, feminists screamed from the rooftops that banning abortion would kill women and jail miscarriage patients. In response, we were accused of fear-mongering—called career overreactors desperate to paint all women as victims."

I live in #Texas. No effing way am I helping fund #Democrats in other states unless and until the #DemocraticParty starts acting like a legitimate #opposition party.
Especially any #Democrat who publicly distances themself from #transgenderRights. Because, either you believe it is perfectly reasonable for the #government to tell people what they can or cannot do with their own bodies, or you don't. The logic that denies gender-affirming #healthcare is the exact logic used to deny #ReproductiveJustice. Either people have a right to #BodilyAutonomy or they don't. There is no #centrist position here.
