Tons of media at the Supreme Court, where a small crowd of protestors on both sides of the abortion debate are gathering. Today SCOTUS will hear two challenges to the Texas Heartbeat Act.
“Our collective liberation includes the unborn,” says Lauren Handy, a member of the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising.
“I thought we were supposed to dress up,” says one pro-abortion protestor who wrapped herself in caution tape.
Pro-abortion protestors on the left, pro-life on the right.
Pro-life protestors: “Let their hearts beat!”
Pro-abortion protestors: “Bans off our bodies!”
Pro-life protestor says pro-abortion protestors keep covering the baby figurine he brought.

NEW: Fairfax County Public Schools will be administering a survey this November that asks children if they are transgender, when, how, and how often they have sex, drug and alcohol consumption, and intimate details of their family life.
Parents have the option to opt their children out of the survey, @fcpsnews tells me. Schools are directed to give parents 30 days’ notice to opt their child out of the survey in a letter, otherwise the kids will be given the survey.
“It is important to know how our youth view substance use in their lives and in those they interact with in the community,” a FCPS spokeswoman said, adding that the school system strives to be "proactive" in its approach. dailysignal.com/2021/10/18/vir…
WaPo: "At Levine’s confirmation hearing to serve as assistant secretary for health, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) tried to draw a connection between genital mutilation and transition-related care, which prompted stern rebukes from Paul’s Democratic colleagues."
Hochul references misinformation about NY's 2019 Reproductive Health Act, which removed abortion from NY’s criminal code and allows women to obtain late-term abortions if their health is in danger or if their unborn baby is not viable.
Pro-life social media content erupted with memes and posts about how NY had legalized abortion up until birth, and Facebook fact checkers doled out "false" and "partly false" fact checks left and right.
Interesting Politico piece, but it doesn't mention Biden's revelation that he does not agree life begins at conception. That's a monumental statement. Nor does the piece really get into the semantics of Biden's political evolution on abortion.
Many have suggested that Biden is privately pro-life and only toes the party line on abortion. His actions as president have disproved that, and he himself just admitted he does not agree with fundamental Catholic teaching: life begins at conception.
