It's been a long and hard week with the leaked SCOTUS draft, which if final, would push abortion care further out of reach. That said, we are continuing to fight for #AbortionJustice for our communities. Here's a 🧵 of some BOLD actions from this past week. 1/12
The Massachusetts House added $500,000 for abortion access & infrastructure in their budget last week! The funds would go to MA's three abortion funds and help people get the abortions they need #mapoli 2/12
Massachusetts Senate President was like, I see that, and I raise you $1.5M. Next week the Senate plans to unveil their budget which includes $2 MILLION for abortion access. LFG! #mapoli 3/12
The first #Debates2020 is officially underway!

First topic is Supreme Court! I imagine we'll be getting to Roe v Wade sooner than later! Buckle up!
Biden says Roe v Wade is "at stake right now."
President appears to reject that, saying that we don't know how Amy Coney Barrett feels about Roe v. Wade and that abortion isn't on the ballot.
Here's what we know about ACB's record on abortion rights:

TONIGHT is the first Presidential debate between Biden and Trump.
Many groups are requesting the moderator #AskAboutAbortion given how little we’ve heard about each of the candidate specific plans.
What do you still want to know?

If we do get questions on abortion, I’ll be live fact-checking the candidates’ answers, here on Twitter and on @CBSNews. Join us!
Also, fun fact - the hashtag #AskAboutAbortion was actually created during the 2016 primaries by @RBraceySherman to create more awareness about Whole Women’s Health v Hellerstedt.
Incredible how much has changed - and stayed the same! - in just four years.

Disappointed to have absolutely nothing on abortion access or reproductive health at tonight’s #DemocraticDebate, especially considering we’re in Nevada where lawmakers actually passed legislation SUPPORTING abortion access.

I’ve been speaking with voters about this, and from what I’ve heard they know very little about these candidates’ plans on abortion support besides top-level bullet points.
From @KFF in October:
Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say these candidates “are spending too little time talking about women’s health care...”

It’s almost #DemDebate time!
The current democratic field is one of the most supportive of abortion rights in history, but we’ve heard VERY little about the specifics of their platforms on the debate stage.

According to @PRRIpoll, 64% of Nevada residents believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
That makes Nevada the 5th most supportive of abortion access of all the states.

Here’s another factoid from @PRRIpoll:
- 25% of Nevadans (is that right?) day their candidate must share their views on abortion.
The national average is 21%

Time for the #DemDebate! I’m watching for anything about reproductive health and abortion access. Let’s see if the moderators #askaboutabortion ....
Here’s a stunning stat from @mmfa:
“The debates have devoted just 24 minutes out of approximately 20 hours in total to discussions of abortion or reproductive rights.”
That’s TWO PERCENT. That’s it.

Debate time! I’ll be asking to see if they #AskAboutAbortion . Watch this thread.
Okay not reproductive right, but family leave!
.@amyklobuchar says she’d push for three months of paid family leave.
Why not more? She says that’s what the US can actually pay for.

Hiiii @CNN & @nytimes, it’s us again. Think abortion access and ending the Hyde Amendment doesn’t matter to voters? We are paying attention up and down the ballot. #AskAboutAbortion #BeBoldEndHyde
@CNN @nytimes "Polling on the amendment has shifted significantly in the last 2 years. According to a Hart Associates poll released last week by RJ advocacy group @AllAboveAll, 62% of voters favor Medicaid coverage of abortion services, a 7% increase in support from a similar poll in 2017."
"Almost 70 percent of voters from 44 battleground districts support Medicaid coverage of abortion care, according to the poll.” -@transscribe #BeBoldEndHyde #AskAboutAbortion
