[aside: someone recently accused me of hypocrisy because I was against #Trump’s #FamilySeparation policy & also for so-called nontraditional #families, they said the fact that I am not against #divorce, exclusively man/woman marriage & children, made me a hypocrite. What I have to say to that:
RE: NYT
White House Assesses Ways to Persuade Women to Have More Children
L-O-fuckin-L
I’m no expert, but maybe start with providing basic fucking women’s healthcare and protecting reproductive rights.
They can all go fuck themselves.
Pompeo formed a Commission on Unalienable Rights that focused on Revolution-era & post-WWII notions of rights, de-emphasizing issues like #discrimination & #ReproductiveRights, putting more focus on religious freedom & the right to private property.
The memo reviewed by NPR outlines changes that are far more sweeping.
Author, gynecologist Jen Gunter says she's moving back to Canada as reproductive rights erode in U.S.
Jen Gunter, a Winnipeg-born gynecologist and bestselling author, says she's had enough with the United States, but she’s also prescribing a stark warning for Canadian voters concerned about the future of their own reproductive health care.

Featured story: These legislative proposals mark the most significant effort by Republicans to allay concerns from patients and providers about Texas abortion law. But now advocates worry this "clarification " poses new dangers to pregnant people. https://www.texasobserver.org/republican-abortion-laws-texas-legislature-exceptions/

WI's high turnout suggests that voters can grasp that courts/ #RuleOfLaw matters. It turns out families talk about more than the price of groceries. Dems shouldn’t shy away from raising issues of justice & fairness & indiv #rights.
One of the leading issues -was in the st SC contest 2 yrs ago, was #ReproductiveRights. Dems in WI hammered away at the theme that the R-backed cand -would ban abortion +ARG their SC could affect citizens’ access to HC.

@The_Icarian Our local pregnancy center has everyone fooled. They pretend to be a medical clinic (they are not) & they do ultrasounds to show clients the "baby". If mom is hesitant to continue the pregnancy, she's told she needs more ultrasounds, until she's past the point where she can decide to end her pregnancy. It's insidious. They offer the only free pregnancy tests around, so they're busy. And it looks like a clinic. Deceitful. #reproductiverights #abortion #USPols
A Win for Repro Rights: Alabama Can’t Charge Activists Helping Patients Get Out of State Abortions

Of the ~25M #women who receive #ContraceptiveCare annually, 18% receive it from publicly supported #clinics, including #TitleX-funded centers, Baden said. They include women who are #LowIncome or #underinsured.
In 2019, during #Trump’s first term, his admin altered the half-century-old program banning clinics receiving Title X aid from referring patients for abortions.
The WSJ reported last week #RFKJr’s #HHS planned an immediate freeze of $27.5M in #FamilyPlanning grants for groups including #PlannedParenthood.
PPFA says >300 #health centers are in the #TitleX network & Title X-funded centers received >1.5M visits in 2023.
The loss of funding will mean that “cancers go undetected, access to #BirthControl is severely reduced, & the nation’s #STI crisis worsens,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, PPFA president.
#Trump admin to cut funds to #PlannedParenthood
The #nonprofit said that 9 of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as #TitleX, which has supported #healthcare services for the #poor since 1970.

I am so shocked I dunno what else to say about this, I just want people to know because it was horrifying to me-
A woman in #georgia was arrested for having a #miscarriage that was no fault of her own after disposing of the fetus in a dumpster.
Guess we are going back to biblical times in the #usa and #liberals saw this coming.
I literally cried.
"I wish white Christian Conservatives had the same passion for migrant children, school shooting victims, sick toddlers, young black men, Muslim families, LGBTQ teens, the environment, and women's autonomy over their bodies that they claim to have for embryos."

Thank you @ProPublica
#Texas #GOP Lawmakers Propose Amending #AbortionBan Linked to Deaths & a Rise in Sepsis Cases
The bill comes after #ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of 3 Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the #law.

So, all this talk from #Trump about protecting women is BULLSHIT! If they really cared about protecting women, they would allow #ReproductiveRights and #BodilyAutomony! All the hate directed at #TransAthletes is not to make cis women safe, it's to make #TransPeople feel UNSAFE! Don't be fooled by the #Fascist regime!!!
