We repealed the 8th
Every Day at least 9 women are still traveling.
Every Day a minimum of 3 women are taking unregulated, illegal pills.
The work is not done.
The work is not close to being done.
The *right* legislation matters
Women and girls will still slip between the cracks. The grey areas unthought of...
We will not stop fighting for FREE SAFE LEGAL
We will not stop until our sisters in the North have autonomy as well.

We continue to share the stories received before the referendum (currently over 600 in queue to be scheduled. Currently over 200 waiting to be read - with my sincerest apologies if you are waiting)
We continue to receive stories

We continue to hold space for our sisters in the North.

We will not stop.
The work is not done.
We will not rest.
There is no freedom without the freedom of women.

One month ago we stood and waited anxiously for the results of the referendum.
We rejoiced together, the weight lifting, this freedom and feeling of finally being heard - of finally gaining something for ourselves :: our autonomy.
We celebrated, a wash of great relief in knowing that those of us that have had to travel will be the last ones.. that our daughters can get help here at home. That we will shift the stigma and silence around needing abortion care.

July will begin a larger highlight on the plight our sisters face in the North.

Just across the border, the very women that have risked their lives to smuggle pills to us in the South are being prosecuted - this carries a life sentence...
Women and girls in the North are being forgotten about - left in limbo while politics prevail and prevents people from having access to safe abortions.
People that become pregnant through rape and incest, children that become pregnant, fatal foetal abnormalities, even the risk to a woman's life does not warrant grounds for a safe termination in the North.

“In 2013 I was absolutely thrilled to discover I was pregnant. I already had a child and desperately wanted to expand our little family...
Having suffered with a very rare and extremely debilitating illness called hyperemesis gravidarum during my first pregnancy, I was excited but terrified of falling victim to the condition again.
The chances are high that it will return on subsequent pregnancies.
I consoled myself with the fact that after 4 or 5 months of living hell during my first pregnancy, I was finally prescribed a medication that was very effective.

If you all would allow me, I’d like to talk a bit about the recent referendum we had back in Ireland. On May 25th we removed the constitutional ban that denied abortion to all women except in the case of certain death. #Repealed
I understand that this might be a difficult topic for a lot of people. And that’s ok. But what my country went through was extremely difficult and while it was an extremely tough task, I am so proud of the outcome and of what we managed to do with dignity and respect
A bit of a back story. Many of you may recall in 2015, Ireland voted to legalise gay marriage. I was living in Finland at the time and I flew #hometovote for that. I would never have missed that vote.

Opinion | What the Supreme Court battle suggests about culture wars - by Jennifer Ruben
wapo.st/2lOT4aa
#Women #WomensRights #Democrats #progressives #liberals #UniteBlue #BlueWave
"[] the debate surrounding the nomination has reminded us the degree to which social conservatives have lost on key cultural issues. The only way they reverse those defeats is by guaranteeing a Supreme Court majority at odds with the sentiments of voters."
"That creates a unique problem for Republicans, and an unexpected opportunity for Democrats."


Please read in full. Thanks.

Taking care of our #mentalhealth might mean calling in sick with no outward signs of being sick...
Taking care of our #mentalhealth might mean leaving our desk and going outside or to the bathroom to cry just to keep it together.
Taking care of our #mentalhealth might mean cancelling plans last minute because we just can't handle social interaction at the moment.

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
