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.

What do you still want to know?

#AskAboutAbortion
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%

Voters supported abortion rights in all five states with abortion-related ballot measures.

When abortion was directly on the ballot, voters wanted to protect and save their right to abortion.

More on that… 🧵

Abortion in Indiana will stay legal and available until at least January.

Today the state’s Supreme Court blocked the near-total ban while it consider if it violates the state constitution.

Oral arguments are set for January.

n.b.

Indiana was the first state to pass a new abortion ban since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade.
Indiana’s law bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy.

The state would say there are exception, but those exception are bullshit.

Student athletes in Florida have to agree to have their period tracked in order to be eligible to play.

The state bans abortion after 15 weeks, no exceptions for rape or incest && parents of a minor have to be notified and give consent.

More here:
jacksonville.com/restricted/?re…
The period data is held by the company Aktivate, which isn't a medical company and therefore isn't protected by HIPAA laws. i.e. the data could be turned over if subpoenaed.
The idea is that all student athletes have to fill out medical forms to play, in the event of injury. And for some, that includes period info.

But, in a state like Florida where politicians are policing health care, that practice takes on all new risks for student athletes.

It was yet another heavy news week for post-Roe abortion news.

The 1-year anniversary of #SB8, a new lawsuit in Indiana, a package of bills in California to protect abortion, more confusion in Michigan, & movement in South Carolina's near-total abortion ban.

Let's dig in.

🧵
All eyes should be on South Carolina right now where lawmakers are racing to push through a near-total ban on abortion.
On Tuesday, the SC House advanced HB 5399. It's a near-total ban.

Exceptions:
- To prevent death, "substantial risk of death" or "substantial physical impairment of a major bodily function"
- Rape & incest, but only in the 1st 12 weeks

NEW and HUGE

South Carolina’s near-total abortion ban is dead.

The South Carolina house just voted 47-55, failing to pass house bill 5399 which would have banned abortion at all stages of pregnancy w/o exceptions for rape and incest.
power 👏 of 👏 Kansas 👏👏👏
To clarify! There are a handful of very restrictive abortion bans flying around South Carolina’s state house right now, but this was the worst of the worst.

There's no such thing as a slow news week when it comes to abortion rights.

Here's a wrap up of everything on my radar...
