ALERT: Twitter blocked our launch video because "abortion advocacy" - the number one issue for women and the issue that this election will hinge on- is banned political speech in twitter promoted posts. #ncpol #abortionrights 
Elon Musk bought Twitter and declared it a haven for free speech. Since then, hate speech has skyrocketed on the platform. The algorithm throws wild extremism and white supremacy into your feed. But legitimate political campaigns can’t talk about #abortionrights. #ncpol
This policy chills discourse and upholds the status quo, which on July 1st becomes a nonsensical 12 week GOP #abortionban.
I just read through the entire bill. I have many thoughts. For now, I’m walking in to my high risk OB NC clinic knowing my career will entirely change after this is passed.
Follow the thread below as I add my concerns and surprises after reading this bill 🧵

The TL;DR version is:
•12 weeks abortion legal for any reason
•Abortion legal up to 20 wks for rape/incest
•Abortion legal up to 24 weeks for “life limiting diagnoses”
•Abortion legal at any stage for mother’s life.
We should know by now it’s not that simple.

I work in high risk OB. We do not perform abortions, but we do refer. There are ab clinics around that have to stay hidden so their patients aren’t attacked nor bombarded with protestors. This is not an “abortion tolerant” state, yet NC has become a southern “sanctuary city”.
The vast majority of doctors agree: abortion is healthcare.
Prominent state medical organizations have voiced opposition to #LB626, including the Nebraska Medical Assoc, Nebraska Medicine, Neb ACOG, and Nebraska Nurses Assoc.

Hi all!
It's a 10 minute warning on the start of #Democrat Congressional candidate in #PA01, @ashley_ehasz's #townhall on #ReproductiveFreedom and the role of Congress.

If you attended the @ashley_ehasz #PA01 #townhall in person, you'd have seen this (#Antichoice #GOP extremist Brian Fitzpatrick) cardboard guy out front.
That's as close as any version of Fitz would get to a town hall. He sprints away from unscripted constituent contact!

In case you want a run down of the legislative goods on #GOP #Antichoice extremist Brian Fitzpatrick of #PA01, here's the rundown...

Always.

There’s no way to be honest without this being heavy. Tomorrow, Idahoans will have fewer rights than they have today. Here’s what you need to know about the #abortionban that takes effect tomorrow in Idaho 🧵 1/?
Idaho’s ban is one of the strictest in the nation, banning all abortion except to save the life of the pregnant person and in cases of rape and incest (but only where the crime is reported to law enforcement). 2/?
While the law does not criminalize pregnant people themselves, it does impose criminal liability on healthcare providers, as well as those who help someone else obtain an “unlawful abortion.” 3/?
Nearly all of the 40 #INLegis Democrats are meeting with @VP at the Indiana State Library to discuss the #abortion bill. First Senate hearing is this afternoon.
Harris: Dobbs ruling “has already created a health care crisis in America….We are seeing many states attempting to criminalize heath care providers.”
@pre_cap_ >Neuralink took this a step further in 2021 by implanting it inside a monkey that then used it to play a mind pong game without any console or physical device.
This is a manifestation of the chief problem. Why? Because on implantation the organism is subject to external control.

Amidst the recent judgement of US Supreme Court about #AbortionBan, it's interesting to look at what the #Hindu scripture of *Garbha #Upanishad* says regarding embryonic development.
In this #thread, I'll try to compare its observations with modern scientific findings as well

Garbha Upanishad is a very concise Upanishad, which deals with the constitution of body, the embryonic development, and concludes beautifully with guidelines regarding Moksha.

The mass shooting in #Buffalo, right wing extremism on guns, and the takeover of the judiciary by leveraging abortion (per last week's thread) are connected. The connection is money. It fuels the complex right-wing network that captured the Court and props up politicians.

The network is complex and confusing by design. It makes the "All the President's Men" mantra of "follow the money" really hard. But here are just a *few* of the threads we do know about, and how they connect to #RoeVWade, #GunViolence, #SCOTUS, and white nationalism.

It was decriminalised in South Korea (2021), Argentina (2020), Ireland (2019)
But other places - e.g. #Poland & #Texas - are swimming against the tide.

Women & girls pay a high price for restrictions on abortion. They pay with their health, their well-being & even with their lives
Last January, abortion in #Poland - already only available to women in extreme circumstances - was further restricted.

I went up to Kansas to talk to folks at Trust Women clinic about the Texas abortion ban - including a woman who had to travel overnight. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
2/I also spoke with protesters outside the Wichita clinic who said they were encouraged by the Texas abortion ban.
3/“They told us to get ready because people are going to come from south and all over to get here,” said Joseph Elmore, 73, who was protesting outside the Kansas clinic.
It is a cruel jest to say to people who have suffered inhumane treatment for centuries to unite with those who have caused a lot of pain

I moved to the U.S. in 2000. Over the past two decades, I have learned that many white Americans have a delusional amount of confidence in their government and its institutions. feministgiant.com/p/if-amy-coney… #Texas #SCOTUS #AbortionBan
They are childishly naive in believing that institutions will save them from state power, which they think will work for rather than ever hurt them. That stubborn belief in U.S. exceptionalism undergirds the refusal to see the fascism that Trump brought.
Black, Indigenous, and people of colour have no such delusions. They do not expect institutions to protect them because they are so often hurt by those institutions.

THREAD: Had a truly depressing conversation about 2020 with my 12 yr old daughter. We were talking about Elizabeth Warren v. Kamala Harris (both of whom we like) and my daughter said "It doesn't matter though, we'll never have a woman president."
I told her that I understood her feeling but that we should remember that HRC won the popular vote and that more women and POC won in 2018 than ever before. I told her trump is historically unpopular.
But she was unconvinced.
She said trump is running and he will cheat.

I replied that I had my fears as well, but that we need to prepare on 2 tracks- One in which we work like hell to elect a democrat (preferably a woman) and the other in which we prepare to help others if trump stays in office (by cheating, winning, or a refusing to leave) .
A thread on the probable effects of reforming #abortion laws, based on research. First, restricting abortion laws will probably reduce abortion but only marginally. Classic example: Romania 1966. Fertility spiked after abortion was made illegal (tinyurl.com/yxehyykk) but
the initial fertility spike quickly petered out. Women however massively kept relying on (illegal, unsafe) abortion for birth control, also in the absence of modern contraceptives. Result: spiking maternal death rates.(tinyurl.com/yx8tod4r) that dropped after 1989 when
the restrictive abortion law was overturned again. At that time, Romania had the highest maternal death rate in Europe (jstor.org/stable/1966479…).
