I ask in my latest essay: When will you start burning things to the ground? Where is your fucking rage?

And it is important to insist: abortion on demand and without apology.

When the fascist fucks in your country are tightening their grip on your body with abortion bns, the path to freedom must be paved with profanity. Politeness is capitulation.

So fuck yes to @riseup4abortion for profanity and disruption. Poland knows 👇🏽 feministgiant.com/p/fuck-is-a-fe…

Fuck the Supreme Court.

This is not the time for politeness or civility. I refuse to be civil with religious zealots who do not recognize my full humanity and who are denying me the fundamental right of ownership of my body.

I had an“illegal” abortion in Egypt and a “legal” abortion in the US. I use inverted commas because the State can fuck off with its opinions about what I can and can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-… #AbortionOnDemand

As you watch protest from the mega church, remember: #RoeVWade will be overturned because of white, Christian zealots who used democracy to cut democracy at its knees by destroying a right most Americans support. Because they're white & Christian they weren't considered dangerous

#RoeVWade will be overturned as the biggest victory of a white Christian theocratic revolution.

And what will most Americans do about it?

During protests demanding the legalization of abortion in 2020 on Safe Abortion Day (Sept. 28) Mexican feminists had police cowering: they charged police lines and threw Molotov cocktails at officers in Mexico City. 📷 Carlos Jasso via Reuters

Less than a year later, on September 7, 2021, Mexico’s Supreme Court voted to decriminalize abortion, giving momentum to efforts to strike it from state penal codes throughout the country. feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-se… #AbortionOnDemand
