Hi john,

Another Friday means another week of navigating the Bad Place. Buckle up, because we’re annoyed as hell.

Extremist Judge Is Hellbent on Banning Abortion Pills
Texas Judge Matt Kacsmaryk, infamous for unsuccessfully attempting to ban the medication abortion drug mifepristone back in 2023, is STILL AT IT – announcing he’s keeping a version of this Texas case alive by allowing Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri, to join the TEXAS lawsuit and while they may call it the Gulf of America, last time we checked, these three states have not been annexed by Texas. Can we just get a single break from judges forcing the rest of us to abide by their terrible beliefs?? Maybe go touch some grass, Matt! 

Trump Pardons 23 Terrorists Convicted of Breaking Federal Laws While Harassing Abortion Clinics and SURPRIZE – They’re Right Back At It!
Emboldened and even more terrifying, these newly freed and newly empowered harassholes are promising to do it bigger and scarier by recruiting more assholes to join them! 

Part of our work at Abortion AF is tracking and protecting clinics from these monsters, and they have been given a free pass by this administration to harass providers, hurl racist and sexist bullshit at patients on the daily, follow providers home -- hell, we’ve seen them bring a sound system and blast the sounds of crying babies at patients as they are in the waiting room. You know, completely normal, peaceful actions. But don’t just take it from us, here are their plans in their own words.

The mainstream media may not cover exactly how these people behave, but we’ll be here to give you the info they won’t!
