In 1996 I had an "illegal" abortion in Egypt and in 2000 I had a "legal" abortion in the US. The State and its courts can fuck off with their opinions about what I can and can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-… #TexasAbortionBan #SCOTUS
I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. I did not want to have a child.
And so I had my abortions.
I am glad I did. They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen.

Criminalizing abortion does not eradicate it nor does it make it rare. It makes it dangerous and often deadly for the poorest and most vulnerable people who can get pregnant. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-… #TexasAbortionBan #SCOTUS

Andy Zee goes hard at the horror at the U.S./Mexico border & all that's concentrated in the cowboy Texas slave-catchers terrorizing Haitians who have fled conditions created by... U.S. imperialism!

This is a thread about #TexasAbortionLaw or #TexasAbortionBan so sit back and hold on. ALSO if you do not read all the way to the end, you have no right to comment. I have long maintained that while I do not believe in abortion myself, I have no right to cast a vote...
...since in the end I will never directly have to deal with the issue or the repercussions thereof. In other words: "I am not a woman, ergo, I should not be telling a woman what she should or should not do with her body. This is my own PERSONAL FEELINGS. That being said...
...I woke up this morning and began reading things like a tweet that decries the last Doctor standing who performed something like a dozen or more abortions in the last hours before the ban went into effect...
TRIGGER WARNING.
1. A few years ago I heard about a horrific story where a developmentally delayed 13 y/o (who operated at the level of a 7 y/o, according to her mother) became pregnant from being raped by her stepfather. Anti-abortion groups sued the abortion provider. #elxn44

2. You read that correctly. Anti-abortion groups did not mount an action against the child’s abuser, but against the abortion clinic. Poilievre, Candice Bergen, Michael Barrett, Ed Fast, & every single #CPC MP on that list above, also believe….

3….what those anti-choice groups believed: this child should’ve been forced to carry a pregnancy resulting from horrific abuse.
In the beliefs of these #CPC MPs - who would be in charge of people’s lives - there should be no rape or incest exceptions. #NeverVoteCPC #elxn44

If the Democrats in Washington want to actually, you know, DO something to fight back against the dark money forces that have subverted SCOTUS & approved the #TexasAbortionBan, figure out #WhoOwnsKavanaugh.
It's both popular w/Dem voters AND the right thing to do.

The only politician who seems remotely interested in this is @SenWhitehouse, who is patiently explaining how dark money works. He needs help.
