Well, here’s another reminder that no matter how hard we fight, anti-abortion maniacs will pull some bullsh*t and do what they want. An appeals court listened to JUST John Roberts and gutted repro rights (again) in Arkansas. #AbortionAF slate.com/news-and-polit…
Read the great @sueonthetown about the Roberts f*ckery. But we want to talk about the specific Arkansas laws the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals read and thought, “Yeah, sounds fine to us.” #AbortionAF
Just how illogical are anti-abortion people? Well read this highlighted law. They think the way to handle teens being raped and abused is to … just let it happen, but then scare the TEEN when they go to get an abortion. #AbortionAF Image
We’re not exaggerating here. How could a law like this be seen as anything but punishment of THE TEEN SEEKING HEALTHCARE. They can’t pretend they care about patients' wellbeing and then pass shit like this. #AbortionAF Image
Look, more patronizing nonsense, one of those “THE FATHER DESERVES TO BE INVOLVED” laws! Let us be v clear: no one should get to VETO your decision about what happens to your body for nine months because they jizzed in you! #AbortionAF Image
And then we’ve got this part that says providers need to know like your entire pregnancy history (why) to give you an abortion. Another reminder that these bills are explicitly created to delay abortions (CAN YOU SAY BURDEN!) so the people seeking care can't get it. #AbortionAF Image
The cherry on top of all this bullshit is that with all these new requirements they also ban safe second trimester abortion procedures. So even if you jumped through all that red tape, you STILL might be screwed out of your abortion access. #AbortionAF
And that, my friends, is how these monsters work. And if you’re reading all this and still think, “IDK none of this really seems like it’s creating a burden to me,” well then we’re sorry to say, you’re Brett Kavanaugh. We didn’t even know you had a Twitter! #AbortionAF

For #My40Days, let’s talk about MINDFULNESS about how we discuss abortion with friends, people who've had abortions, your aunt Linda, your dentist, and so on. Let’s start with a big one: why we’ve (mostly) stopped saying “pro-choice.”
We are ALL about letting people have agency over their decisions. So yes, naturally, “pro-choice” works well for that. #My40Days
But we also have to think about who “pro-choice” leaves out. The healthcare system and the WORLD are effed up and create all kinds of barriers for people who want to be parents. So for some people maybe it’s not a “choice” to have an abortion so much as a necessity. #My40Days

#RBG taught us to stand up to sexist ghouls. Now that she's gone, misogynists are twirling their gross mustaches, gearing up to replace her legacy with an anti-abortion extremist!
Said anti-abortion ghouls have started their crusade with a nationwide clinic troll-a-thon called "40 Days for Life." #My40Days
In this annual event, hordes of uninvited Catholic hatesplainers "stand guard" outside of abortion clinics for 40 days and 40 nights. Really, it's just stalking. #My40Days

Badass of the day: Shirley Chisholm! Today is the 49th anniversary of Chisholm entering the Democratic primary, making her the first Black woman to run for president of these United States.
When she ran for Congress, her slogan was “Unbought and unbossed.” She also spoke truth to power when she said, “If you don’t have a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
When she was elected to Congress — also the first Black woman to do that — they tried to hide her on the ag committee, which took her away from working for the people who actually elected her. Still she rose.

It’s #LatinxHeritageMonth! And today as a #TBT we wanted to talk about Jane Doe and her saga trying to get an abortion in 2017. aclu.org/press-releases… Image
Although she was obstructed by the head of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (fuck you forever, Scott Lloyd and your creepy period tracking), she did eventually receive her abortion with the help of the @ACLU, activists, and @JanesDueProcess.
So today we thought we’d tweet out her statement from the time as a reminder of why we fight so hard for everyone to get the abortion care they need:
