Hi john,
We hope you were able to take some time this long weekend to honor everyone who gave their lives for our freedom. And now you’re here to join us in protecting one of those freedoms- the freedom to access safe and legal abortion!
So let’s channel our feminist rage by reading about the good, the bad, and the downright horrifying abortion stories of the hour!
The image is a meme made of two scenes from the movie ''Death Becomes Her.'' In the first scene, Meryl Streep's character, labeled ''US,'' is speaking to Goldie Hawn's character, who is labeled ''ANTI-ABORTION ORGANIZATIONS GETTING SUED FOR HARASSING CLINICS.'' Meryl Streep's character says, ''I just want you to know...'' In the second scene, Meryl Streep's character continues with, ''You brought this on YOURSELF!'' The tone is accusatory, implying that anti-abortion organizations are facing consequences for their actions. [[link removed]] OHIO: DON’T MESS WITH THE BUCKEYE STATE!
WE LOVE TO SEE IT! The Department of Justice is suing two anti-abortion goon organizations [[link removed]] , Citizens for a Pro-Life Society and Red Rose Rescue, for violating the FACE Act (a federal law that protects providers from asshats and their clinic invasions). Abortion Access Front has gone up against both these villainous organizations before, and trust us, they are the WORST! Let the "finding out" portion of "fucking around" commence!
LOUISIANA: WTF ARE YOU EVEN DOING? [link removed] [[link removed]]
In a state with one of the highest maternal mortality rates, you’d think they’d want to address that instead of reclassifying FDA APPROVED AND EXTREMELY SAFE abortion medications as "controlled dangerous substances" [[link removed]] . Oh, and also? Patients who take it will be TRACKABLE in a state database! We’re not sure what level of hell this terrible idea came from, but we’re definitely sure everyone who supports it is a terrible person.
Check out our Instagram for Lizz's breakdown on the Louisiana bill, our take on it, and a good dose of the "you have to laugh or you'll rage scream into oblivion" snark we've been put on this earth to preach!
You, on the other hand, are NOT a terrible person like those other doorknobs! So click that button below to get involved in the fight!
