Hi john,
It’s Friday! AAF is BACK from training up progressives on abortion activism at Netroots Nation, and we’re ready to bring you what’s going on in the Abortionsphere this week before we take off for a much-needed summer break!
In “Every Accusation Is A Confession” News…
A Texas DA who wrongly CHARGED A WOMAN WITH MURDER for a self-managed abortion ALSO paid for his mistress’s abortion [[link removed]] ! The tea alllllll came out in the case being brought by the woman he locked up, who is suing for $1 million for the trauma caused. If you ask us, double that number and then we’ll talk.
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]]
As always, Texas remains “rules for thee, none for me,” when it comes to abortion: A newly proposed law goes after shield laws that protect out-of-state docs, and would allow lawsuits against anyone who mails, delivers, prescribes, or distributes abortion pills.
So to recap: people are DYING because of the Texas abortion ban, but the men of the legislature will always have the Sidepiece Exception. Make it make sense.

BIG NEWWWWZ! CELEBRATE THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ABORTION AF IN NYC at The Golden Probe Awards: Sexism’s Most Glamorous Night!
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]]
TEN YEARS, BABY!!! That’s a full decade of throwing down for abortion providers and building a badass army of activists like YOU from coast to coast. And to kick off this milestone? We’re going full glam with the return of the Golden Probe Awards—our unapologetically rowdy celebration of reproductive rights heroes.
This year, we’re honoring and rolling out the gold carpet for the original dick-tator slayer herself, E. Jean Carroll and Michigan’s legendary Mother/Daughter abortion provider duo Renee and Lara Chelian . So if you’re in NYC or feel like making a pilgrimage to the holy land of roast-level justice, SAVE THE DATE: NOVEMBER 3RD . It's gonna be fancy. It's gonna be fierce. And it’s gonna be exactly the kind of night the patriarchy should be VERY afraid of.
