More disabled groups need to come out vehemently for abortion access. Banning abortions puts disabled people at significant risk. Many would be put at increased health risk if they were forced to bring a fertilized egg to term. #BansOffDisabledBodies #DisabledAndProChoice

If your disability org truly supports bodily autonomy for the disability community, you should be supporting bodily autonomy for disabled women and those that can become pregnant. #DisabledAndProChoice #BansOffDisabledBodies

Bodily autonomy is not just for disabled cis het men. It's for all disabled people. Your org is being hypocritical if you don't support abortion access. Point blank. #DisabledAndProChoice #BansOffDisabledBodies

Disabled groups have sat on the sideline for too long in hopes of keeping disability a "bipartisan" issue. But that is not a winning strategy. We have seen what that does to our community, resulting in incarceration and brutal neglect. It's time to decide which side you're on.

If your favorite disability org has not made a statement on abortion, ask them what their policy is. If they say they are not willing to take a stance, ask them why they are willing to fail disabled people who can become pregnant. Make it public. #DisabledAndProChoice

And for those asking, @CAPDisability has already discussed it and plan to put out two more reports this year supporting abortion access. #DisabledAndProChoice #BansOffDisabledBodies americanprogress.org/article/reprod…
