“Keep going and keep working.”-Mary Parker, born three years before women could vote.
GURRL POWER: “Protect Democracy, and endure the labor of Democracy.”-Swedish woman I met while filming the Women’s March DC, 1/21/2017.
David Perdue is a political coward. Two weeks ago he refused to admit he wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade because he knows he will lose votes in this 2020 election. #AbortionIsHealthcare #TrustWomen #TaxOnWomen
Now, in response to the extremist wing of his party, he attempts to legislate that abortion services are not healthcare. @SenDavidPerdue politically panders for votes all the while demeaning, disrespecting and marginalizing women. We can’t trust #Perdue in the U.S. Senate.
When I am elected Senator, I will support a woman’s right to choose enshrined by Roe v. Wade. I would also support the repeal of policies, including the Hyde Amendment. cc @PPact @PPIAction #DavidPerdueAbortionTax teresatomlinson.com/home/policy-pa…
1. For the anti-choice, forced pregnancy supporters—here is my statement for you. It’s a thread because I have a lot to say.
If this resonates, please share it. Take it as your own even! I have no ego when it comes to this. I want to protect women. I trust women.

2. While I certainly respect the right of every woman to choose her own reproductive path -- whether that's abortion, adoption, parenting or none of the above -- I fundamentally disagree with the notion that (predominantly male) lawmakers should legislate women's bodies.
3. Every woman, regardless of geography, political affiliation or economic status, should have the right to decide if & when to enter motherhood, not have it foisted upon them.
This Week in Dems:
We're proud of our @GASenateDems - on Tuesday, they were victorious in defeating a bill that would defund our public schools. 1/

On the House side, our incredible @GAHouseDems fought for the rights of all Georgia women to stop HB 481, the abortion ban bill. @GaRepublicans have shown they don't #trustwomen, but the fight continues in the Senate. 2/

Up north, @RepLucyMcBath introduced the Election Official Integrity Act, a bill to prevent state officials from refereeing their own elections - sound familiar? 👀 3/

Twice in the Senate and once in the House. Last year I testified in the Senate, and while I was called “distasteful” by the Representative from the House who was sponsoring the anti-choice bill for saying the word “fetus”, the general tone was respectful....
Kind of weird, but respectful. [This time] was a different story.
While the Senators did not really ask questions of people/parents like me who were testifying – they mostly looked bored while we testified about our most personal, private, and heartbreaking moments....

Women with chronic illnesses: how long & how many doctors did it take you to get diagnosed? I counted 11 months & 17 doctors & wrote down what each did to show what we go through just to begin to heal.
Side note: the first person to accurately diagnose me was a psychic 😂 Second was my acupuncturist.
[Thread] Women, PoC, NB folks, & LGBTQ people w/ chronic illnesses are criticized for self-diagnosing, but the reason we self-diagnose is that those charged with diagnosing us are biased against us & don't understand issues that disproportionately affect us.
Here’s a test for the antichoice campaigners that come knocking on your door. Ask em if they believe abortion is murder. They’ll mainly say yes. #together4yes #8thref #repealthe8th ➡️
Now ask if they believe a 14 years sentence is enough for a girl taking an abortion pill, or if the full mandatory life sentence for murder should be the maximum term. Now watch them scramble. ➡️
So far I’ve found it goes one of these ways: a) the old reliable side step that they also use for the rape question. ➡️
