Hi john,
AAF is back at work after an extended weekend celebrating raging about the state of America, and we are FIRED UP! We’re about to spend the rest of this week at one of our favorite conventions, Netroots Nation [[link removed]] , chatting up all of the politically engaged badasses out there making the world a better place. Make sure to check out our pod, Feminist Buzzkills [[link removed]] , LIVE from Netroots to hear from some of our favorite guests and all of the abortion world updates!
Before we go, we can’t leave you hanging- here’s the abortion news you need to know!
ABORTION ACCESS: WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON?
You know what you do need to know but is confusing as hell? WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY GET AN ABORTION! It seems like every damn day, some law goes into effect or is repealed or emerges from the past to fuck us over entirely- it is just too much to keep up with! Thankfully, these NYT graphics will keep you in the know [[link removed]] and updated on, well, the roller coaster that is abortion access.

SURVEIL THIS , JERKS! A meme-style image showing a scene from a popular TV show. A man is standing behind a bookshelf, peering through the books with a serious expression. Text above him reads, ''ANTI-ABORTION STATE GOVERNMENTS.'' In the foreground, a woman is browsing the bookshelf, smiling and reading a book. Text next to her reads, ''YOU GOOGLING 'ABORTION NEAR ME'.'' The bottom right corner features a logo with the letters ''AF'' in a green square. [[link removed]]
Not only do we all need to know where to get an abortion, we need to know…how they’re snooping on us?! From abortion trafficking laws, to online data collection, to scanning license plates at clinics, surveillance of abortion seekers and providers is off the charts [[link removed]] . Which makes total sense- if you’re a complete tool, of course.
