Hi John,

We’re officially a month into the year, and with only 28 days in February, there will either be less days for anti-abortion shenanigans or they’ll stuff this month with extra fuckery like a sausage. We wonder which one it will be…

On the bright side, it’s Black History Month and we’re stoked to have a different incredible Reproductive Justice organization taking over our Instagram every Monday! Today’s takeover is none other than our besties at Midwest Access Coalition, (MAC) a powerhouse practical abortion support org that helps patients all over the midwest travel to their abortion appointments and get the abortion care they need. Does it get any more amazing than that? Hop over to our Instagram feed to learn about their work and how you can support them- and don’t forget to follow MAC on Instagram and TikTok!

Oh wait- we’ve got our answer on what February will look like, and we are going next level ridiculous in Iowa. Iowa state electeds introduced a bill that will make it a FELONY to manufacture or prescribe Mifepristone, one of two drugs used in therapeutic abortions! But get this, “the bill text notes that it ‘should not be construed’ as imposing liability on a woman who receives an abortion or as limiting the use of contraceptives.” EXCUSE US BUT WHAT?! Anybody want to start a petition to change their state motto to, "Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain UNLESS YOU CAN GET PREGNANT THEN YOU CAN SUCK IT"?

While we know protesters are violent, color us completely unsurprised that when there is VIDEO EVIDENCE of a protester assaulting a clinic escort, the protester gets off and the antis celebrate. It takes a special kind of cruelty for Mark Houck, a teen abstinence educator (barf) and men’s rights activist (ownership of a fedora unknown), to shove a 72-year-old clinic escort, get out of federal FACE Act charges, and then bask in the praise and self-martyrdom. It’s almost like what we’ve been saying about these people has been right all along, and that the anti-abortion movement will celebrate a violent unfuckable disaster while claiming they’re peaceful?? Imagine that.

Pick one: is the FACE Act real or not? Apparently Fake: a whole ass video showing a protester shove a clinic escort. Apparently Real: some graffiti on a fake clinic that lies and misleads patients looking for abortion care. And in other news, up is down and down is up and don’t believe what you see with your own eyes.

If that pissed you off, channel that rage into something productive; find an abortion event on our Activist Calendar and get that butt in gear!
