the "late-term abortion" rhetoric is and has always been stupid, intentionally misleading bullshit, but especially now for me. i work at a cemetery with a crematory, and we do cremations no charge for anyone cremating a stillbirth, nonviable pregnancy, or medical termination
This morning I woke up to a story: a woman who walked into a ER with an ectopic pregnancy. She lived in a state with trigger laws. She had to wait nine hours while her doctor consulted a lawyer. She almost died.
So pro-life folk, did you actually consider ramifications of this?
There are over 120,000 children eligible for adoption in the United States right now and more than 400,000 in the foster care system.
So, when I see pics of these conservative married couples holding a sign that says “Don’t abort — we’ll adopt your baby”… I just don’t buy it.
And we MUST dismantle the perception that "civility" and "bipartisanship" are the highest goals of politics. We've tried it.
Over and over.
And it does not work.
What is it that Einstein said?
Oh, yeah.

got America to where we are today not through "civility" and "bipartisanship", but through...
1️⃣ smashing norms,
2️⃣ playing on the prejudices of their base, and
3️⃣ lying about who
#Democrats
are/what they want to do.

My 17-year-old son and all of his friends—boys included—are fired up to go to reproductive rights rallies. These kids were born a full generation after Title IX and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale. They’re eager to be voting age. It’ll be another summer of rage.

Ah, remember the folks who have supported

with access and money, like felon Elliott Broidy? The guy who coerced women to have abortions?
Brian sure is all anti-choice when it serves his politics, but super pro-choice for his bank account,
