Hi john,
In case you haven’t noticed, Spooky Season is also the new name for election season as everything has just gone absolutely batty in the last few weeks before the election. Don’t get caught in the tangled conservative web of anti-abortion misinformation and lies – stick with us and sit down with a hot cup of sarcasm and rage straight from our pro-abortion cauldron. It’ll be wicked good!
What in the Florida DeSantishenanigans is Going On
We don’t even know where to start, so we hope you can keep up. First , the DeSantis Department of Health threatens to prosecute TV stations if they play ads promoting the abortion rights amendment (btw – the ad featured a woman diagnosed with brain cancer [[link removed]] who needed an abortion). Then a judge rightfully smacked that shit down [[link removed]] and blocked them from taking any further actions against anyone broadcasting the ads. AND THEN a DOH attorney resigns [[link removed]] in protest and points the finger at the DeSantis administration officials… who just double down on it [[link removed]] and continue with more anti-abortion bullshit [[link removed]] .
WHAT. IS. HAPPENING. Florida, are you okay? BLINK TWICE IF YOU NEED HELP.
A meme featuring the ''Woman Yelling at a Cat'' meme format. On the left side, a woman labeled ''FLORIDA'' is pointing and yelling, with text saying, ''Why won’t you let me prosecute TV stations for airing pro-abortion ads?!'' On the right side, the cat at a dinner table labeled ''JUDGE'' responds with, ''It’s the First Amendment, stupid.'' In the bottom right corner is a small red ''AF'' logo for ''Abortion Access Front.'' [[link removed]]
Sniff Butts, Not Abortion Pills
In a gross misuse of a perfectly boopable dog nose, a “tipster” working at a Mississippi post office reported seeing a package that they believed to be abortion pills [[link removed]] , and that’s all it took for the Jackson postal inspector to get involved. For so many abortion seekers, ordering pills by mail is the only way for them to access abortion care, and this incident offers a stark reminder of how diligent we all need to be. It also reminds us of one more fact: SNITCHES GET STITCHES…metaphorically, of course. This story has so many scary implications that we are breaking it down on our current episode of the Feminist Buzzkills podcast! [[link removed]]
Four images of dogs in various poses with bold yellow labels at the top of each image. In the top left, a sleeping dog is labeled ''DOORBELL.'' In the top right, a dog lying on its back is labeled ''BURGLARY.'' In the bottom left, a dog lying down is labeled ''SERIAL KILLER.'' In the bottom right, two alert dogs looking forward are labeled ''ABORTION PILLS.'' In the bottom right corner of the graphic is a small red box with a white logo for ''Abortion Access Front'' (AF) [[link removed]]
Won’t Somebody Think of the Coal Mines and Button Factories?
When Missouri, Idaho, and Kansas filed a revised lawsuit [[link removed]] seeking to reverse the regulatory changes the FDA made since 2016 that expanded access to mifepristone, they argued that the state has been harmed because “loss of fetal life and potential births” reduces the “potential population of each state.” THEY ARE MAD THAT WE AREN’T BIRTHING MORE WORKERS. There are a myriad of questionable legal justifications put forth by anti-abortion extremists, but this one has to be pretty damn near the top of the trash heap.

SOMETHING TO DO RIGHT NOW
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR HALLOWEEN
Abortion Access Front is closing out Comstocktober with an amazing Halloween event! We are hosting THE debate of the political season. It’s Minnesota Senator Tina Smith taking on the zombie ghost of Anthony Comstock, in a hilarious smackdown about The Comstock Act – YOU DON’T WANNA MISS IT!
A debate promotional image showing two figures facing off. On the left, a serious-looking woman is labeled ''Senator Tina Smith'' from Minnesota. On the right, an old-fashioned man with sideburns is labeled ''Anthony Comstock,'' referred to as ''a reanimated ghost of a 19th-century misogynist.'' The title reads ''Comstock vs Smith DEBATE'' in bold letters, and additional text at the bottom says ''DROPS 12pm ET HALLOWEEN'' and ''RepealTheComstockAct.com.'' The background features a faint pattern repeating ''Abortion Access Front'' (AF). There are flames around Comstock and blue swirls around Smith [[link removed]]
