Y'all we had a whole thing planned for the kickoff to #HispanicHeritageMonth, but we can't stop thinking about this devastating story. #AbolishICE #LatinxHeritageMonth
The story of forced sterilization is not new and we haven't kept it in the past or learned from the past! #AbolishICE
The anti-abortion movement pushes their "we love babies" propaganda. But like Renee points out in this thread, it's really just about controlling fertility.
We also really want to emphasize Renee's point here.
Today we just want to encourage you all to follow some groups who have been doing the work for immigrant reproductive justice. @GLAHR_, @ConMijente, @LatinaInstitute, @JanesDueProcess, @RAICESTEXAS! #AbolishICE #HispanicHeritageMonth

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:
