Abortion Show more
I got yanked out of line for a newspaper interview. Met a pre-Roe patient advocate with heartbreaking stories. Met the Democratic candidate for governor. I felt hope bloom today. Alaska made me proud. #RoeVWade #BansOffOurBodies
The National Park Service approved a permit for pro-choice activists to gather Saturday in D.C. to march from the Washington Monument to the Supreme Court. The application currently predicts 17,000 participants.

My 4-step plan:
1. Pass a Senate Rule by a majority vote to get rid of the filibuster.
2. Pass HR 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021, to protect medical services including abortion the way Roe v Wade did.
3. Pass the Thirteen Justices Act.
4. Appoint 4 new justices.

Lawrence: Alito’s draft opinion quotes a man who believed in witches

🧵 Justice Alito's invocation of Sir Matthew Hale in his leaked majority opinion is so, so much more fucked up than people realize. I'm a professor with a PhD, and my area of expertise happens to be women and gender in the early modern era (1500-1700). Here is what you need to know. https://t.co/MfMSi1g4D2
At the time the constitution was written the word "abortion" referred to miscarriages and sunsets. (Google it)
And the bible from way before that insisted that fetuses should be terminated in cases of adultery.
We need to codify "rights" for the age we live in now.
