Dr. Carrie Baker:
They're trying to shut down access and make it as hard as possible for people to get abortion medications. They're trying to get the judge to order the FDA to withdraw mifepristone from the market in the US. This judge has the power to do that, so that it affects everybody in all 50 states. It is a fascist thing to try to ban an abortion, to try to control women's bodies to take away their bodily autonomy. I certainly think that we need to get in the streets and say, No, we should not respect this law. It's a form of involuntary servitude. You are forcing women to serve these fetuses against their will. I mean, to me, it's just appalling that we're at the stage in this country. You know, we've got a lot of work to do, a lot of fight to do.
Sam Goldman:
Cheers to activists with Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights.org, who took action in several cities this past weekend, declaring "fascist judges Keep your hands off abortion medication -- legal abortion on demand and without apology nationwide and everywhere. -- forced motherhood equals female enslavement." The Christian fascist movement that is driving the assault on abortion rights will not stop until abortion and even birth control is completely eradicated and women are reduced to incubators subservient to men. and LGBTQ people are put back in the closet, if not entirely erased from society, their very existence criminalized.
Santa Monica, yesterday with RiseUp4AbortionRights:
