Hi john,
WE’RE BACK! We took a break last week because this month has been PACKED. Between showing up at Netroots Nation [[link removed]] , hosting three live Feminist Buzzkills podcasts [[link removed]] , galvanizing folks to repeal the Comstock Act, teaching them about ALL the Comstockery® coming down the line, and introducing them to the infamous Anthony Comstock himself, we needed a rest. We laughed, we cried, we saw a giant inflatable IUD…then we cried some more as we watched the “Not Girl Summer” kick-off in Milwaukee.
Three women are seated behind a long table with microphones and laptops at a conference. The banner above them reads ''NETROOTS NATION'' with a star in the middle. Each laptop has a sticker reading ''FEMINIST BUZZKILLS PODCAST''. The leftmost woman has short white hair and glasses, the middle woman has long dark hair, and the rightmost woman has short dark hair and glasses. In the bottom left corner, there's a small logo with the letters ''FBK POD'', and in the bottom right corner, there's a small logo with the letters ''AF''. [[link removed]] Top Panel: Three individuals are standing behind a booth at a conference with the banner ''ABORTION ACCESS FRONT (AAF)'' and the URL ''AAFRONT.ORG''. They are smiling, and the booth is covered with informational materials and merchandise. Bottom Left Panel: An older woman and a person dressed as Abraham Lincoln are engaging in a playful interaction. The person dressed as Lincoln holds a sign that reads ''LET THE MEN DECIDE''. Bottom Right Panel: The same person dressed as Abraham Lincoln is holding a sign that reads ''CENSORED'' and standing next to a giant inflatable uterus. The setup appears to be part of an exhibition or protest display. The bottom right corner of each panel has a small logo with the letters ''AF''. [[link removed]]
But we’re back and we got some news.
RNC: WHO HAS MORE RIGHTS THAN ME NOW?
The Republican Platform was announced this week at the RNC and guess what? They’ve pledged to give a fertilized egg the same rights as YOU [[link removed]] – whether it is in your body or living in a vat at minus 300 degrees below zero. At this point, they want any living thing that is NOT you to have more rights. Apparently the 2025 in Project 2025 is actually the number of ways they are scheming to reclassify us as property of the government.
KANSAS: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!
It seems pretty simple to us: your healthcare is ONLY your business, right? Even though Kansans voted to protect abortion in their state, officials are STILL trying to insert their nosey asses by asking patients why they’re getting their abortions [[link removed]] ! Guess what, Kansas- IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
Top Panel: An older man with an eyepatch (Odin from the Thor movies) looks solemnly to the side. Overlaid text reads: ''People just existing and getting abortions for their own private reasons''. Bottom Panel: A younger man (Loki from the Thor movies) is shown screaming angrily. Overlaid text reads: ''KANSAS TELL MEEEEE!!!!!!''. The bottom right corner has a small logo with the letters ''AF''. [[link removed]]
ARKANSAS: NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT
Volunteers in Arkansas collected over 100,000 signatures to put abortion on the ballot, only to have the Secretary of State reject them on a supposed technicality [[link removed]] . Guess what? Arkansans for Limited Government [[link removed]] AIN’T GIVING UP! Volunteers have faced threats, harassment, and intimidation…add Asshole Partisan Electeds to the list of what they aren’t afraid of. YOU GOT THIS, ARKANSAS!
