Hi john,
Friday is back, and Abortion Access Front is checking in from our favorite conference of the year, Netroots Nation!
Three-panel collage on a navy background. Left panel shows three people posing in a convention center hallway. One person is wearing a round costume labeled LIFE, while the other two strike dramatic poses as if confronting it. Middle panel shows a busy conference table with a banner reading Feminist Buzzkills. Several people stand around chatting, laughing, and engaging with abortion rights materials. Right panel shows a smiling Black woman with an orange lanyard gesturing playfully with one hand, as if presenting a tiny person in the background wearing the same LIFE costume and striking a pose. A small red logo in the bottom corner reads TEN YEARS AAF with the years 2015 and 2025. [[link removed]]
We’re busy meeting the best folks, preaching about abortion to everyone, and gearing up for our big live stream of…
Promotional banner for a live event titled Operation Save Abortion: Live from Netroots Nation. At the top is the Operation Save Abortion logo with bold red, blue, and orange lines and a dark blue circle.

Underneath are three colored boxes with the following text: on the teal box, Directly Support Clinics and Patients; on the red box, Spot and Expose Fake Clinics; and on the orange box, Creatively Confront Politicians. At the bottom, the event date and time are listed as August 9th, 1PM CT to 2:30PM CT.

LAST CHANCE to SIGN UP and Join Us!!!!
This edition of Operation Save Abortion is hosted by your Feminist Buzzkills Lizz and Moji and is a robust conversation and interactive workshop done before a live audience! PLUS! They’ll be joined by badass members of our AAF creative team—Kristin Hady, Sherill Dingle, and Alyssa “Dooks” Al-Dookhi—to lay out the sneaky shit being done behind the scenes on local and federal levels to destroy access and to criminalize abortion care.
THIS COULD BE YOU WATCHING, LAUGHING, AND LEARNING!
A promotional graphic for Operation Save Abortion, themed “Live from Netroots Nation.” In the center is the OSA logo, featuring retro-style stripes in orange, teal, red, and green, with the text “Operation Save Abortion – Live from Netroots Nation.” Surrounding the logo are three candid photos of small group gatherings. On the left, two people sit on a beige couch in a bright living room; one is talking on the phone and reading from a printed script, while the other listens with a drink in hand. In the center, a group is gathered in a cozy living room watching a presentation on a TV screen, with papers and notebooks spread around. On the right, three people sit on a carpeted floor surrounded by flyers; one is drawing on another’s leg while the third looks at their phone. The colorful striped border matches the palette of the OSA logo, creating a warm and inviting vibe. [[link removed]]

And now, some bummer theater , er, news...
Flo and Behold: Meta Fucked Around With Our Repro Rights AND FOUND OUT!
A federal jury in California ruled that Meta violated privacy laws by collecting sensitive reproductive health data [[link removed]] from Flo users— without their consent . Not only does this practice violate the California Invasion of Privacy Act, it violates OUR standards of how to not be evil. In a time when pregnancy is being criminalized more than ever, this is a huge victory for holding big tech accountable for repro health data practices and we love to see it!
Pap Smear Campaign Closes All Planned Parenthoods In Louisiana
Something we hate to see: Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast will shut down its only two remaining Louisiana clinics [[link removed]] , located in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, effective September 30th. This heartbreaking announcement for Louisiana residents is a direct result of losing access to federal funding like Medicaid—which, of course, was the whole damn point.
Screenshot of a WBRZ news headline that reads Planned Parenthood to cease operations in Louisiana; critics rejoice, advocates worry about future. The article is by Destiny Beasley and dated August 5 2025 at 3 55 PM. The background is white with a navy border. A red corner label in the bottom right says TEN YEARS AAF with the years 2015 and 2025 written vertically. [[link removed]]
Did these clinics provide abortions? Nope. Never, in fact. Another fact: last year alone, Louisiana served over 10,000 patients, but anti-abortion assholes are ripping birth control access, STD screenings, cancer screenings, and other reproductive healthcare away from the folks who need it regardless!
