Hi john,
The Abortionsphere is one giant roller coaster, and you never know what will greet you when you wake up each day. One minute is joyful, the next is horrific, and every second in between is just waiting for the other bullshit shoe to drop. Nothing exemplifies this better right now than Georgia!
Georgia Was BACK to Providing Comprehensive Abortion Care!
Through the fog of the recent horror stories of people dying at the hands of Georgia’s barbaric abortion bans, a light shone through if even for a moment: a superior court judge STRIKING DOWN Georgia’s near-total abortion ban [[link removed]] , which made abortions illegal past roughly six weeks! It was HUGE, with many clinics back to performing abortions up to 22 weeks almost immediately! For about 2 seconds, at least…
A meme featuring a close-up of Captain Kirk (played by William Shatner) from Star Trek. His face is sweaty, and he appears to be screaming or shouting with a highly animated expression. The top of the image has bold white text that reads ''GEORGIA'' and the bottom has text that says ''MY HEAD IS SPINNING!'' The image gives off a sense of frustration or overwhelm, likely referencing Georgia in some context. [[link removed]]
But Of Course…Anti-Abortion White Walkers Won’t Let Us Have Nice Things
Literally one glorious week after the superior court’s ruling, Georgia’s Supreme Court reinstated the 6-week ban [[link removed]] , because of course they did. After all, none of these decisions affect actual real life people who don’t give one single fuck about the ideological whims of despots and are just trying to live their lives! What else can you say when we live in a system where one week you don’t have healthcare, the next you do, and then it’s snatched from your hands once again?
Graphic with a bold, impactful message about a Supreme Court ruling. The top portion of the image features the text 'SCOTUS UPHOLDS' in large, uppercase font, with 'SCOTUS' in white and 'UPHOLDS' in bright yellow. Below this, a neon sign styled design reads 'BREAKING NEWS' in cyan blue letters, framed in a glowing red and white border, with small yellow lightning bolt icons on either side of the word 'BREAKING.' The bottom portion contains the text 'TEXAS ABORTION BAN THAT NEARLY KILLED 20 PATIENTS' in bright yellow, bold letters. The background is solid black, making the text and neon elements stand out.'' [[link removed]] Even More Texas-Sized Outrage
The Supreme Court yesterday upheld the Texas ban on emergency abortions [[link removed]] , ruling that the draconian law is somehow in line with federal guidelines that require emergency abortion care. We’d love for them to tell that to the twenty patients who sued the state because they nearly died from being denied abortions under that same Texas ban that SCOTUS ruled IS JUST FINE! The bar is in the Ninth circle of Hell.
Welcome to the Abortionsphere!
And Lastly, The Patriarchy Pissing Match…
Fake Clinics SUCK
Crisis pregnancy centers, AKA fake clinics, AKA anti-abortion manipulation meccas all across the country receive MILLIONS of dollars to lie and mislead pregnant people. One fake clinic in Attleboro, Massachusetts is pushing its horrible tactics even further than we have seen and is now being sued for digital privacy violation. The fake clinic, called Abundant Hope Pregnancy Resource Center [[link removed]] (notice they don’t list any medical services on the site and that they are no longer taking “new” patients…wonder why…), allegedly digitally intercepted patients trying to make REAL abortion clinic appointments [[link removed]] to trick them into making appointments there instead! Because nothing says “love” like straight up lying to people.
A bold informational graphic with an orange-and-navy color scheme, detailing claims against a fake clinic in Attleboro, MA. The title in large orange text reads, ''Claims Against Attleboro, MA Fake Clinic.'' The graphic lists accusations against the clinic, including sharing a parking lot with the real clinic and using deceptive tactics like wearing fake escort vests to lure patients. It also claims that the fake clinic keeps patients occupied with paperwork to make them miss real appointments. The graphic urges people not to believe the clinic provides healthcare, ending with the statement ''Never let anyone tell you they provide healthcare'' in bold, orange text. At the bottom is the AF (Abortion Access Front) logo. [[link removed]]
HOW YOU CAN FIGHT BACK!
If you want to combat clinics like this Addlebrained, MA Fake clinic, Abortion Access Front has a whole program at ExposeFakeClinics.com [[link removed]] ! There, you can choose from several different ways to stop them, including writing Google reviews. These reviews inform people searching for abortion care to know that if they see imposters like this, they will not receive abortion care and could be subjected to coercion and data breaches. It’s a great way to fight back while hate-watching Emily in Paris . Or maybe that’s just us?
If that’s not your jam, pop over to our Activist Calendar below to lace up your shoes and get in the fight!
