The abortion bans in Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Mississippi are appalling attacks on women's lives and fundamental freedoms.

Women's rights are human rights.

We will not go back.
Here's what you can do today to fight back:

1. Donate to @abortionfunds: abortionfunds.org/abortion-funds…

2. Support @EmergeAmerica, @EMILYSList, @runforsomething, and @TheDLCC, who work to elect pro-choice candidates

3. Join @supermajority to organize for the future
None of us should accept a future in which our daughters and granddaughters have fewer rights than we do.

Choose a way to help, ask a friend to join you, and let's get to work.

When the Trump administration threatened to pull out of the Iran deal and impose more sanctions last year, it was clear that we'd lose our leverage and Iran would be free to do what it wanted.

Predictably, Iran is now exceeding enrichment limits the deal once imposed.
By withdrawing from the deal, the administration has effectively broken up the international coalition that was unified in constraining Iran, and now Iran is once again increasing its nuclear capability.
As I said after the Iran deal was reached, it was not perfect but it achieved its fundamental mission of blocking every pathway for Iran to get a bomb.

Amazing update: Together, we've raised over $500,000 in the past 48 hours for groups working to protect children at the border.

The Trump administration’s cruelty has caused a moral and humanitarian crisis for every American. Thank you for responding with compassion and action.
Your donations will be split evenly among @AlOtroLado_Org, @ACLU, @asylumadvocacy, @dreambignv, @fams2gether, @florenceproject, @humanrights1st, @supportkind, @LUPE_rgv, @RAICESTEXAS, @TXCivilRights, and @wrcommission.
More contributions mean more services, lawyers, and advocates for kids and families in need, so please continue to spread the donation link far and wide.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I've been heartbroken and horrified to read the news of children at the border being detained in appalling conditions.

No soap, no toothbrushes, no beds.

Not enough food, babies being forced to take care of babies, everyone sick.
It's hard to process that our country is committing such abuses—and against children—in our name.

But let's not stop at outrage or heartbreak.
There are amazing groups at the border and beyond doing critical work to defend the rights of immigrant and refugee children.

If you can, please chip in to support a few of them today. secure.actblue.com/donate/kids-an…

#Alabama, #Ohio, #Missouri, and #Georgia have begun the @GOP's orchestrated attack on women with restrictive abortion laws.

Make NO mistake this is NOT about protecting life. It is a hostile GOP and their #WarOnWomen restricting #WomensReproductiveRights and #WomensHealth.
Highly restrictive abortion laws are not associated with lower abortion rates! Whether legal or prohibited the number of abortions taking place remains relatively unchanged. Highly restrictive abortion laws simply prevent SAFE abortions.
In countries where abortion is completely banned or permitted only to save the woman’s life or preserve her physical health, only 1 in 4 abortions were safe; whereas, in countries where abortion is legal on broader grounds, nearly 9 in 10 abortions were done safely.

Dear fellow white males,

Even though I'm outnumbered 2:1, we're going to have this conversation. Since I want to ensure I have your attention, here's a picture of boobs with a gun.

 #Alabama #Georgia #Ohio #WomensRightsAreHumanRights
Have that out of your system? No? Well, I'll find more. Bigger guns. More boobs.

So let's talk about your mom's pussy and the fact that your father or father figure is probably a gigantic asshole.

2/
He is a gigantic asshole because when you were a little boy, you respected and cherished your mother. But your gigantic asshole of a father did not. Children have to be taught things like what to be scared of and what to hate and what values to cultivate.

THE GOP IS OUT OF CONTROL

1. Any Dem who says we need MORE evidence for #impeachment or that they're worried about the optics, shouldn't be in a leadership position.

2. Instead of MORE candidates joining the 2020 race, we need some to start withdrawing.

WOMEN ARE UNDER ATTACK

I've been in politics for two decades and I've seen my party steadily lose ground to the rightwing onslaught. Women are now facing #Gilead in states like #Alabama, #Georgia, #Ohio, and more. The Republican Party is an extremist threat.
ACCEPT OUR FAILURES. AND FIGHT SMARTER.

I look at my own efforts working within the Democratic establishment to bring about change. And I see failure. I want to do better. I ask Dem leaders to look in their hearts and ask what they've done wrong. How did we let things get here?

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I’m not going to do that on the #Alabama assault on choice. Let’s just be clear, this has nothing to do with religion, or protecting children.
1. This isn’t about some insistence on Christian principles. Jesus gave us his commands- to love thy neighbor, to heal the sick, and give back to the poor. Do you see Alabama doing anything about the poor?
2. Most of Christianity opposes the death penalty. Has Alabama taken recent steps to eliminate it? Let me know.

How many more states will make #abortion illegal?

Some abortions are already illegal in a majority of states and you may not even know yours is one of them.

Please read and RT.
1/
Prior to #Roe in 1973, only three states, NY, WA and HI had legal abortion.
In 12 other states abortion was legal to save the life of the mother. In every other state abortion was illegal under all circumstances including rape, incest, fetal abnormality and life of the mother.
2/
Currently, all but six states--44 plus DC-- require parental notification for a minor to obtain an #abortion, even though significant numbers of minor pregnancies are caused by incest.
