Hi john,
Spring has sprung, and it didn’t just bring flowers- we’re officially in the season of abortion ballot initiatives! Campaigns are turning in their signatures to get on the ballot, from Colorado to South Dakota, and we’re SO excited to watch thousands of y’all get activated and campaign for abortion rights! Let us know: how do you plan on helping an abortion ballot initiative campaign this year??
Of course, there are plenty of reasons to get involved already…
VIRGINIA: NO BIRTH CONTROL FOR YOU!
Wait a damn second. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin specifically said, “Let me be crystal clear: I support access to contraception,” but then somehow VETOED A BILL THAT WOULD MAKE BIRTH CONTROL A STATE RIGHT [[link removed]] because apparently that would be against “religious freedom”? Has anyone told him that most religious folks support birth control access…? The math ain’t mathin’, friends.
The graphic is divided into two panels featuring a Pinocchio puppet with a long nose and wearing a hat and suspenders. Top panel: Pinocchio is standing with one arm outstretched. A caption in bold, black text on a white background above him reads: ''VIRGINIA GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN.'' Below this, another caption in yellow text reads: ''I support access to contraception!'' Bottom panel: Pinocchio's nose has grown longer. The caption in yellow text below him reads: ''VETOES CONTRACEPTION BILL.'' In the bottom right corner of both panels, there is a small logo with the letters ''AF.'' [[link removed]]
NEW YORK: FAKE CLINIC LIES ARE OUTTA HERE!
Speaking of lies and misinformation, New York Attorney General Letitia James is trying to cut that shit out! Her office is suing Heartbeat Intl. and 11 other fake clinics [[link removed]] for peddling the “abortion pill reversal” bullshit that progesterone can…reverse abortions. You heard that right. Check out AAF’s own Moji Alawode-El talk about her fake clinic experience and call out their junk science!
