The purpose of these laws isn’t to protect patients or #Kansans in general, in any way. There is no way in which any of them are remotely necessary. Their purpose is to intimidate patients and doctors, and to inure them to the idea of the government being up in their personal, medical business — which, as Governor Kelly said, is exactly what Kansans said they do not want.
📣 GEORGIA Democrats are unlikely to flip control of their state legislature, but they can definitely make gains...and boosting local Dem turnout also helps with statewide turnout, vitally important in swing states. Donate DIRECTLY to these Democrats today. #Blue24
In some #pregnancy emergencies where #abortion is required, there isn’t even a chance the baby will be born. Where #Idaho may argue that is it providing medical care with lifesaving exceptions, it amounted to a potentially fatal game of semantics that increases the likelihood that places like Idaho become #maternity care deserts.
"- One woman miscarried in the lobby restroom of a Texas emergency room as front desk staff refused to admit her. Another woman learned that her fetus had no heartbeat at a Florida hospital, the day after a security guard turned her away from the facility. And in North Carolina, a woman gave birth in a car after an emergency room couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died."
"Pregnant patients have 'become radioactive to emergency departments' in states with extreme abortion restrictions, said Sara Rosenbaum, a George Washington University health law and policy professor. They are so scared of a pregnant patient, that the emergency medicine staff won’t even look. They just want these people gone."
As someone on social media asked, I wonder how many women took a pregnancy test this morning and discovered that they are Democrats?
A 🧵!
Anti-choicers lie about everything, & yes, it's all infuriating, but there's 1 particular lie that makes me go all HULK SMASH, & that's when they start in on the "violence of abortion." I've had an abortion, & since today is #OurAbortionStories Day, a National Day of Abortion Storytelling, I'd like to tell you about it--& the lack of "violence" involved in the procedure. I've given birth to a full-term baby; had an abortion; suffered a miscarriage. +
& childbirth. Because there are many. Abortion? Very few. #Abortion is 14 times safer than childbirth. So. The next time some forced birther comes at you w/ their hysterical bs, throw some facts at them. Because I don't think these lunatics have 1 tiny little clue about fetal development. That, or they're just massive fcking liars. /end #AbortionIsHealthcare#AbortionRightsAreHumanRights#ProChoiceIsProLife
Please boost, sign, donate, help #Florida put #abortion rights on the ballot for November 2024. I have sent in petitions for all my family member and donated $25.
Afternoon everyone you don't want to know the night i had. I keep having the same nightmare that either abortion is banned nationwide or I get arrested for speaking out on a women's right to choose either way we can't allow this to happen. I still remember the day Roe fell #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights
If you don't want an abortion then mind your own fucking business if your spouse/ girlfriend isn't ready to be a mom you need to respect that if you can't then you aren't meant to be together and you should be separated. #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights
And also, now that he's done that, every American woman and girl's access to potentially lifesaving medical care depends on the hundreds of laws that Democrats have enacted, and continue to enact, to protect their rights.
No one should ever be forced to abort a wanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to surrender a wanted baby.
No one should ever be forced to endure an unwanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to bear an unwanted baby.
It really is that simple. #prochoiceisprolife#abortionrightsarehumanrights
