Make no mistake. The Oklahoma #abortion ban is a Christian fascist bridge between #SB8 in Texas & the expected overturning of Roe v. Wade later this spring. This is not just any abortion ban. A thread.

Besides its extreme viciousness, this ban closes off one avenue of relief for women in Texas, who have fled the state to seek abortions in neighboring states. Think about how the Fugitive Slave Act attacked the means of enslaved people to reach safety.
These #SB8 copycat laws, each state trying to outdo the other in its violent subjugation of women, are designed to do no less. And these Christian fascists will not stop. They will figure out every workaround & criminalize them even more viciously.
They are already coming after the abortion pill, abortion funds, and criminalizing travel out of state. Think about how much worse this will be if we do not flood the streets and stop this. Think about how much worse it will be if we allow Roe to fall.
This isn't some GOP election strategy. The GOP has become the party of fascists aiming to remaking all of society and government. Where women, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and everyone they hate have NO RIGHTS that they have to respect.
We join @riseup4abortion to stop this fascist juggernaut of abortion bans completely connected to #SCOTUS poised to overturn Roe. The time to stop this is NOW, not after we have sat back & allowed Roe to fall.
