There is no such thing as re-implanting an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies are emergency conditions that if not treated promptly will kill a pregnant person. The anti-abortion movement is literally out to kill us. tinyurl.com/yy993m32
The anti-abortion movement has invented symphonies of mental gymnastics to try to get around the fact that the urgent, life-or-death treatment for ectopic pregnancy is:

Abortion.
IMO the Catholic Bishops’ Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Services — which contain a number of stipulations conflicting with autonomy, consent, and science — get their absolute weirdest when discussing ectopic pregnancies.

6 week abortion bans. Bills that classify abortion as homicide or call for the death penalty. Now that Kavanaugh has been confirmed and abortion opponents have a SCOTUS majority, what we now see is part of an expected progression to overturning the federal right to abortion.
Abortion opponents are seeking to pass bills that blatantly violate Roe v. Wade so that they can initiate court cases that will move up the courts and seek to overturn Roe at the top. Expect what's happening now to get worse, not better.
Same goes for the bad-faith, completely bald-face lying attacks on people who have abortions, parents, and literally anyone who enters a delivery room as we've been seeing in Virginia, New York, and the president's rallies around the country. This is part of overturning Roe.

Gonna go on a random but heartfelt rant: It’s important for the entire progressive movement to invest in opposition research led by women and people of color.
We can’t build effective strategies to win without deeply understanding opponents of equality and justice.
Our opponents are not single-issue people. They are racist, sexist, anti-LBGTQ at the same time. Their vision of white supremacy depends in part upon controlling sexuality.

Re: A paragraph-by-paragraph correction of your misleading abortion memo (INTRO)
Access to abortion is indivisible part of progressive agenda — there is no economic justice without reproductive justice. Progressives believe in science, access to healthcare, ending discrimination, gender equality, racial justice. Abortion rights part of all those things. (1)
Is math hard? Because your conflation certainly isn’t backed up by the medical community or even basic division by two. 20 weeks is second trimester, and literally the halfway point of a 40 week pregnancy. How is that “late term?” (1)

Anti-abortion/pro-forced birth/“pRo-LiFe” views & legislation are only about gaining power, control, ownership, & full domination over girls’ & women’s bodies, to make all girls & women into subjugated second-class citizens.

#abortionrights #abortion #abortionishealthcare
What about homeless lives? Poor lives? Arab/Palestinian lives? Sick lives who can’t afford medical care? Black lives shot by cops? It’s CRUEL to care more about tiny blobs w/ no feelings, no conscious thoughts, no opinions, & no fears than abt born, aware, sentient girls & women.
Homeless people die out on the street all the time, with no food, shelter, or healthcare. US engages in military interventions around the world. We murder innocent men, women, children, & babies all over the world. In the US, people can’t afford medical care/prescriptions, & die.

And you call yourself a feminist.

Please take a minute and ask yourself why you don’t seem to have room in your feminism for ppl who need more than one abortion (and who aren’t ashamed). There are all kinds of reasons ppl might need >1 abortion (I feel a thread coming on).
Ppl who can get #pregnant can spend >35 years of reproductive life trying not to get pregnant. If typical use failure rates for #contraceptive methods like the pill or patch are ~9%, you’re almost inevitably going to have at least one failure in a lifetime.
Even if ppl have an average # of children, that’s still 30+ years of needing reliable #birthcontrol to avoid pregnancy.

So as I had previously tweeted, I attended an event held by SFU's very own anti-abortion group. Giving a rundown of this event and the group's mandate and initiatives is important in spreading awareness about anti-choice activism on campus. #Rterms
I suppose beginning with this group's (known as SFU Lifeline) mandate is a good starting point, which is as follows: "SFU Lifeline advocates for pre-born children, whose human rights are violated by abortion, which is legal in all 9 months of pregnancy in Canada....
...We are dedicated to raising awareness about this issue, and providing women with the support and resources they need to make a life-affirming choice that respects both mother and child."

“What the Hell?” part 2 of 5

1/ How did Evangelical teachings about sex help prepare their people to support Trump as God’s anointed choice to be President? (“President Trump,” observed Jerry Falwell the other day, “has saved America.”)
2/ When I ask my fellow Evangelicals why they are such enthusiastic Republicans, especially when Scripture is so clear about compassion for the poor and the sick, they usually tell me that for them, abortion is just murder, and they trust the Republican promise to end it,...
3/..to change the Supreme Court and overturn Roe v Wade. (There’s still, in the more rigid Evangelical churches, a strong and regrettable dose of homophobia, but Trump hasn’t yet tried to exploit that, so I won’t deal with it here.)

Oyez, oyez, oyez. @brigitte_amiri's name mispronounced in the intros, taking that as a good omen.
DAG focusing on breadth of the district ct order they're appealing, says he will circle back to mootness and class cert. Citing Bellotti to say gov't has a role to play in youth decisions. 1st question hones in on how ORR still gets to play role while complying with this order.

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/
