Hi john,

The leaves are changing as the spooky season goes on, and Team AAF was out on the road enjoying the view! Our work and our Supreme Abortion AF Leader, Lizz Winstead, was awarded the “Emperor Has No Clothes” Award by the Freedom from Religion Foundation! Lizz, Moji, and Kristin road tripped there and had a blast tabling, talking to a bunch of badass folks (including Elie Mystal), and listening to Lizz preach the gospel of abortion!

Don’t ever let them tell you that they just want to stop abortions- they are out to control your whole damn pregnancy, friends. A new report out from Pregnancy Justice is the first that details the rise of criminalization of pregnant people for their actions during the Roe era, and is a stark reminder that no matter our choices, they won’t stop trying to control every fucking thing we do.

OHIO: THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE…ABORTION RIGHTS?
In case you haven’t heard (are you new to this email?), Ohio will be voting to codify abortion rights in their constitution this election season! Early voting began on October 10th, and y’all know both sides are gonna be hustling to get their folks to the polls- so if you want to avoid those long lines, get to your early voting centers and do the damn thing! 

We know Ohio folks will be out on the ground- find out how YOU can get out there, too, by clicking the button below!
