By Kathy Bonk | An Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) congressional resolution was introduced around Equal Pay Day, March 25, to highlight economic gender discrimination and show why constitutional equality is needed now more than ever to close the income gap between women and men.

By Jenifer McKenna | Over the course of a week in early March, five antiabortion pregnancy clinics in Arkansas had an eye-catching visitor: a huge mobile billboard, in Handmaid’s Tale-red, reading:
CAUTION!
Pregnancy Help Clinics in Arkansas DO NOT OFFER ABORTION.
HIPAA PRIVACY PROTECTIONS MAY NOT APPLY.
The first-of-its-kind digital billboard tour was the brainchild of Mayday Health—which the Arkansas Times dubbed “a zero-fucks-given nonprofit”—whose mission is to share information on how to access safe abortion pills and gender-affirming care, and empower people to make their own informed decision about their own bodies.

They Were Critically Ill. Abortion Could Have Saved Their Lives. They Weren’t Given the Option. [[link removed]]

By Jill Filipovic | One woman had an ectopic pregnancy, but because doctors in her antiabortion state were unclear on the law, they delayed the simple treatment that would have been immediately on offer in any blue state; she went into hemorrhagic shock and died. Another patient had a congenital heart defect that pregnancy was exacerbating; instead of offering an abortion, doctors tried to get her to 22 weeks of pregnancy, at which point she was given a C-section to save the baby, while she ended up on a ventilator in the ICU. A third had seven children and was not given the option to terminate when she became pregnant again; she died during delivery, and her children are now orphaned.
We don’t have the full picture of what abortion bans have wrought. We might never know the full scope of the damage, because the same people leveling these brutalities are the ones in charge of tracking them. Instead, what we have are snapshots: data pulled by intrepid reporters. Women and their families brave enough to speak to the press. Doctors willing to speak anonymously with careful researchers.

As we reckon with an administration hostile to equal rights, feminists will continue to fight. To help keep hope, we must remember and celebrate recent wins.
One of those wins is the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which took effect on June 27, 2023. This is a landmark piece of legislation that prohibits discrimination and ensures workplace accommodations related to pregnancy for workers. But is the PWFA safe, or will it be threatened by the Trump administration’s crusade against reproductive rights and justice?
