Hi john,
This has been a dark AF week, not gonna lie. So make sure you are in a place to read some pretty awful shit. Having said that, when the world is this much of a dumpster fire, Abortion Access Front knows we’ve got to be both the downer AND the upper. Your abortion whippit, if you will.
So let’s get moving!
Medication Abortion Is Safe. Kentucky Lawmakers Are Not.
Kentucky legislators are attempting to reclassify abortion pills as controlled substances, upgrading charges to Class C and D felonies [[link removed]] . Conveniently ignoring that MEDICATION ABORTION IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE, this bill is designed to scare folks into thinking that abortion must be scary and dangerous like fentanyl and heroin!! Since making shit up and turning it into law is apparently a thing, we’d humbly suggest reclassifying the conservative Kentucky legislative body as a “disinformation trafficking ring,” which carries a punishment of 30 years to life of fully funding abortion care. It’s only fair.
And Now Onto The Nightmares Pregnant Migrant Teens Are Living.
Straight out of a dystopian novel (and our own country’s history tbh), the Trump Administration is sending all pregnant unaccompanied minors caught by immigration enforcement to a group shelter in South Texas, owned by a for-profit company notorious for ignoring the medical needs of the children housed there. [[link removed]] We had to ask ourselves: why, when there are other shelters that literally specialize in housing pregnant minors, would they send them to Texas? We’ll give you one guess…
On the left: a screenshot of a headline from Houston Public Media that reads “Trump administration is sending pregnant migrant girls to South Texas shelter flagged as medically inadequate.“ On the right: a photo of the exterior of the shelter, a two-story light beige building, from behind a tall gate.

A meme created from a photo of Bad Bunny during his performance at the Super Bowl. In the image, he falls backward into a crowd of supportive people stretching out their hands to catch him. Overlaid text on Bad Bunny reads “independent clinics” and overlaid text on the crowd reads “us.” [[link removed]]
