OMG, look at what YOU DID this year!

Hey John, As we speed towards the end of our fourth year, I want to pause our regular-weekly-promotional-schedule to focus on you. You, our supporters and volunteers, have shown up for Abortion Access Front (formerly Lady Parts Justice League) in a million different…

A Message from Sarah Silverman...AND a Winstead Family Recipe!

Hey John, I know that the #GivingTuesday deluge in your inbox has begun! (I got my first email just after July 4th.) But I’m not gonna lie, I love this time of the year. I bake goodies from my mom's cherished laminated recipe cards and get my tree up by mid-November…

The IRS doesn’t consider AAF to be political, but Twitter and Facebook do.

  Dear John! When I decided to devote my political comedy and entertainment experience to abortion access, I had a good idea about the many challenges I would face in founding and running a reproductive rights organization. But I didn’t realize how much of Abort…

Take action right on your phone: Expose this creepy anti-contraception period tracking app!

Hi John, Seems like everywhere we look these days, some anti-abortion creep is TRACKING PEOPLE’S PERIODS. Now we have learned there’s a whole creepy foundation doing it with a sketchy AF period tracking app of their own. Just who and what’s behind their app is ter…

F*ck Candy Corn!

Hi John, I wanted to open with controversy. Ok, that’s done. This is a week of (mostly) good news! As you probably didn’t hear, because our media has one single focus—like a dog trying to get a treat out of a "kong"—Federal Judge Myron “Oh, Hell No!” Thompson stru…

Language Matters: Let’s QUIT using the term “Late-Term Abortion” K?

  Dear John, Look, it’s time for some real talk. “Late-term abortion”. You’ve probably heard that phrase a lot, along with hysterical hand wringing and intentionally gruesome misinformation. In the last four years, as we’ve traveled around the country fighting t…

So now Kavanaugh gets to decide if TRAP laws are okay? We settled this in 2016! Time to LACE UP.

Well hell, John, Instead of upholding SETTLED LAW, the Supreme Court has decided to hear a full blown case of the Louisiana admitting privileges law that — if upheld — would leave the entire state with ONE abortion provider. Sound fam…
