We won.
A lot more legal hoops and appeals before people can get abortion care.
But for today, we won.
#BansOffOurBodies
where's @AngryBlackLady with the highlighter function???
I do DECLARE that SB8 is unconstitutional
I do DECLARE that y'all lost your minds writing this law:
I do DECLARE that #Texas is just too damn big and bananas for these venue shenanigans
I do DECLARE....wait, is this a Field of Dreams reference????
I do DECLARE that this bitch right here, right here y'all, has standing.
I do DECLARE that honestly y'all, if you thought TRL was gross before, aren't they so much grosser making "ripeness" claims? Ewwww.
Yay and Ew.
I do DECLARE we *all* get to process, period.
I do DECLARE...here's a link to the full ruling if you don't love my play-by-play
I do DECLARE that you cannot take people's shit without due process, y'all.
I don't know you, that's *MY* purse!
Honestly, y'all. I didn't realize until after reading this that #SB8 judgements against me could be used to take money from my children after I die. That's a new corner of the bad place.
I do DECLARE that SB8 is unconstitutional because of due process and the definition of words.
And in summary, #abortions for some, miniature american flags for others:
I don't understand D - @AngryBlackLady @Hegemommy?
@AngryBlackLady @Hegemommy I do DECLARE - SB8 IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SHOULD NOT BE ENFORCED.
@AngryBlackLady @Hegemommy These fools already filed an appeal but guess what?

Biden is going to sign an Executive Order today. We'll see what the final text says, but as an #abortion provider here's the context I can share:
HHS doesn't distribute or prescribe medication abortion. If federal employees need medication abortion, they go to abortion clinics.
As of today, states like Texas and Mississippi don't have #abortion clinics that are providing care, and telemedicine abortion is illegal. Unless the EO grants access to teleMAB to every person in every state, how will this actually get medication abortion to Texans?
EMTALA can't make anyone provide an #abortion or protect us from being arrested. This law requires stabilization in emergency medical situations - "emergencies" are defined broadly and allow for A LOT of subjectivity. The same gray areas I've spoken extensively about will remain.

Last week, I worked alongside the most compassionate, fun, & talented staff providing #abortion care to the people of #Oklahoma, #Texas, and beyond.

We worked *hard*. We stayed late. We laughed. We cried. We took care of each other. This is my message to all of us...
1/
We can't keep going at this pace, y'all.
I'm tired. I'm really, really tired. Aren't you?

The hard truth is, we don't have the capacity for what's about to happen. Take your time off, now. Then take some more. Support your folx to take more time.

2/

We are the experts in caring for our communities.
We live here. We raise our families here.

Solutions for us must be led by us.

Anything less recreates the same systems of oppression we are *all* fighting. The time for urgency has passed, it's time to listen to us.

🚨 I'm getting reports from pharmacists across #Texas -they are being directed to not fill prescriptions for misoprostol, mifepristone, or methotrexate until they verify that the meds are not for induced #abortion.
#SB4 is harmful to ALL of us, even w/ #SB8 still in effect 1/
🚨 This is a classic solution in search of a problem. *NO ONE* prescribes meds for #abortion in #Texas. We dispense or administer all meds directly to the patient. THE ONLY people that need these drugs in a pharmacy either have a miscarriage, cancer, or autoimmune disease 2/
🚨 Let that sink in. Anti-abortion laws harm *all of us*. I'm urging local and national journalists to start interrogating pharmacies in #Texas about this practice. It's not only ethically bankrupt and discriminatory - it literally serves no purpose. 3/

I don't know who needs to hear this (@joycefr), but AAPLOG is a hate group that violates all 4 core principles of medical ethics and promotes experimentation on humans without consent. Your recent piece is irresponsible journalism *at best*. A 🧵
First, let's start with autonomy: the decision making process of the people we care for must be free from coercion. AAPLOG leverages their "status" as physicians to promote scientifically inaccurate information about #abortion and #contraception to promote an extremist ideology.
No matter your opinion on #abortion, the science is clear: Abortion is safe. Decades of research demonstrates the overwhelming safety of abortion. AAPLOG uses false information as coercion in medical care nap.edu/read/24950/cha…
