Hi john,

Congrats, abortion baddies! You made it through another week in America. Consider yourself lucky, because it was also another week of anti-abortion lawmakers asking themselves: “What if we just killed pregnant people?”

No, Literally
This week, North Carolina lawmakers proposed a bill that takes fetal personhood to cartoon villain levels. Not only does it declare a fetus a person the second the jizz hits the fan, it ALSO includes language that could allow deadly force against someone seeking an abortion.

Yep. You read that correctly.

Apparently the “pro-life” movement is now workshopping legislation that says you can KILL actual living people in the name of protecting a clump of cells. Totally normal reaction to someone needing healthcare!!!

Have You Ever Taken The Abortion Pill? You Are Our Secret Weapon
Meanwhile, the attacks on medication abortion are ramping up too. Conservatives are STILL coming for mifepristone because they know abortion pills are safe, effective, and are still being used by people despite abortion bans. Which is exactly why we need to fight like hell to protect them.

That’s where YOU come in.

We are collecting medication abortion stories RIGHT NOW as part of our campaign to defend mifepristone and show the FDA, lawmakers, and the public what this care actually means to people. Anti-abortion ghouls want fear and misinformation to dominate the conversation — and we’re not letting that happen.

If you’ve had an experience with medication abortion, or know someone who has, share your story here:

You can submit your story easily and anonymously, all while making a huge difference in protecting abortion access!

Latine Abortion Hopecore Is The Vibe We Need Right Now!
And if you need a reminder that standing up for your rights WORKS, look no further than Latin America’s Green Wave movement. Activists across South America turned abortion rights into a massive, visible, impossible-to-ignore movement powered by regular people refusing to shut up. They organized in the streets, online, in communities, and through culture and they WON. The lesson? NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT ABORTION AND KEEP TAKING UP SPACE.

Now for Some Ways You Can Fight Back!
