Hi john,
WELCOME TO THE AAF WEEKLY EMAIL!
Roses are red, violets are blue, we’re ready to fuck some shit up – how about you? Nothing says ‘love’ like living through the current soul scorchings and still showing up every day to make a difference. It ain’t easy, but finding moments of joy and community get us through the hard parts! We even made you the sweetest little valentine to pass out to your secret admirer.
A parody Valentine’s Day card featuring a retro-style illustration of a smiling green worm wearing a tiny blue hat, crawling out of a red apple with a heart inside. The text reads: ''I've wormed my way out of RFK’s head and into your heart.'' The bottom right corner features a white “AF” logo marking ten years of Abortion Access Front (2015–2025). The background is beige with a vintage paper texture. [[link removed]]
So sit back, relax, open that box of chocolates, pour yourself a glass (or three) of champagne, and catch up on this week's Abortion AF Highlights!
JK, we lied. Scarf those bon bons and guzzle that champers -- WE JUST GOT WORD…
Reproductive Freedom is Heading Back To The Supreme Court!
Mark your calendars for April 2nd and join us in DC! SCOTUS will be hearing oral arguments on whether or not South Carolina can cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood [[link removed]] … even though not a single Planned Parenthood offers abortions in that state.
Abortion Access Front will be on the ground for this hearing to annoy the hell out of every last anti-abortion asshole pushing this – sign up here to stay in the know on how to join us! [[link removed]]
Idaho: Please Do NOT Be Mine This Year A satirical digital image mimicking the Valley of the Dolls movie poster. It features three women in 1960s-style makeup and clothing, looking serious or contemplative. The title is altered to read Valley of the Abortion Pills, with stylized typography matching the original movie font. Red, yellow, and pink pills float around the image. The bottom right corner contains the ''AF'' logo, marking Abortion Access Front’s ten-year anniversary. [[link removed]]
Sure, Idaho already bans nearly all abortions, but why not add on more bullshit like reclassifying abortion pills as a controlled substance [[link removed]] – putting them in the same category as Valium and Xanax.
Because we all know that the euphoria you get from cramping during a medication abortion leads to craving that feeling every day.
Yet another solution in search of a problem.
