Restoring a thread for you. Wolf & WDI USA do little beyond lip service when it comes to abortion rts. In Dec 2021, when it was clear we were about to lose abortion rights, I wrote this article: WoLF and WHRC USA Silent on Impending Loss of Abortion Rights

During the SC nomination hearing for K B Jackson, who supports abortion rights, Dansky goaded Republican senators to ask Jackson the “gotcha” question - “What is a woman?” RW media ran away with this slogan & M Walsh made his film of the same name. tinyurl.com/y8wuybtm

Slate article is slanted, but you've only ever been nominally for abortion rts. You write numerous amicus briefs for, & accept $$ from, powerful Christian nationalist group Alliance Defending Freedom. ADF wrote, & testified for, the MS bill upheld in Dobbs that overturned Roe.

You frequently work with Independent Women’s Forum/Independent Women’s Voice, a secular anti-feminist, Council for National Policy group that has supported anti-abortion politicians & policies.

🧵. @WDI USA prez @kdansky published a new book last Nov & as with her 1st, she is marketing it, at a discount, as something her base will want to send to their elected officials. She says the book is aimed at Democrats and women who vote for Democrats. Review of The Reckoning However, Dansky's book reads as an extended blog for her base, rather than an argument aimed at liberals and Democrats. E.g. - she uses jargon favored by single-issue gender identity policy critics who are amenable to working with the radical right such as “trantifa” and “TERF.”

A response to a tweet in this thread:

The most influential leaders of first wave feminism in the US were critical of the bible and Christianity. Consider Elizabeth Cady Stanton:

@dockstock was recently roused from her “boredom” over “archeological excavations” to write a treatise dismissing feminist objections to allying with radical right orgs as “guilt by association.” tinyurl.com/3ua887bd She cites Jayne Egerton’s article on Women & the Religious Right, 1st published in @Radical_Notion, now republished at WPUK, as an example of “guilt by association… at several removes.” tinyurl.com/yc9dzewf

That’s your hill? The hill I’ve seen you standing on the last 3 years involves telling women to set aside their concerns about the abortion issue and focus solely on opposing gender identity language. Let’s review. Shortly after your infamous trip to Washington, DC in early 2019, during which you attended a Heritage Foundation panel, you posted this comment on Facebook advising women that we are “in a state of emergency” that made it worth setting aside abortion rights.

A lot to respond to here, & I will soon post about the spin-doctoring of our sisters who ally with the religious right attempting to put all of the blame on Democrats, but I’ll just note a few things now. 4w.pub/how-a-decade-o… Hyperbole: While v damaging, an Exec Order is NOT law, can be challenged in court more easily than law, & overturned with the stroke of a pen by the next Prez. Also, I’m not erased. #ImStillHere
