"Almost two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, most Americans still support abortion access.
About 6 in 10 Americans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of 8,709 adults released Monday.
The share of American adults who believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases has increased by 4 percentage points since 2021, according to Pew."
"The proposed law provides for direct, personal contact to be initiated by a cadre of newly installed, theocratic government employees toward pregnant patients who register their contact information with the site in order to pressure them in their reproductive decisions. … What it reveals, however, is not compassion, but coercion, harassment, and ultimately, control."
"Tennessee woman who was denied an abortion despite a fatal abnormality says the state’s anti-abortion laws resulted in her losing an ovary, a fallopian tube and her hopes for a large family.”
What hell on earth for so many women and men our morally challenged supreme court hath wrought, when they cynically ruled our beloved Constitution and Bill of Rights does not give women the right to make their own health choices, and delegated that right to a bunch of ignorant grubby state politicians. How dare they⁉️

BRITT BILL WOULD CREATE FEDERAL DATABASE TRACKING PREGNANCIES
Alabama Senator Katie Britt, best known for delivering a bizarre, melodramatic televised response to President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address, has introduced a bill to create a federal website to collect data on pregnant people.
The bill, the More Opportunities for Moms to Succeed Act (MOMS Act), would mandate the creation of a federal website called Pregnancy.gov, which Britt calls a "clearinghouse of relevant resources available for pregnant and postpartum women, and women parenting young children."
The website would take users through series of questions, it claims, to generate a list of relevant resources of interest within the user’s zip code. The bill would also allow government officials to reach out to users for additional information.
The database would refer users to so-called "crisis pregnancy centers"; fake clinics that do not actually provide women with healthcare, but rather use deception and coercion to scare women away from getting an abortion, even if it necessary for their own health.
From NCJW:
As we approach Mothers’ Day, NCJW renews its commitment to creating a society where honoring mothers means celebrating the ways in which we provide care to ALL mothers each and every day of the year. Through education and advocacy, we can start by addressing the disproportionate destruction and suffering experienced by Black mothers seeking reproductive and maternal care.
This Mother’s Day we’re thinking about all the Black moms we know: we see you, we love you and we aim to champion you, always.
