And just like that the 1864 ban became a 2024 ban.

We are joined by Jessica Mason Pieklo discussing the Arizona Supreme Court's ruling to take Arizona back 160 years to before it was a state making an 1864 law criminalizing abortion the law of the land in two weeks. on.soundcloud.com/RoGE7WMfmE62LE…

One of the many reasons Republican politicians are in real trouble on abortion is because they lived in a right wing bubble on what abortion actually *is*.
Abortion is a medical procedure. It is value neutral, & it isn't defined by whether or not you approve of the circumstances.

Respectfully, Annie Leibowitz is one of the most prolific photographers of our time. She absolutely knows how to light people. She just doesn’t want to light Black people beautifully. It’s 100% intentional.

Arizona's 1864 abortion ban dates from the time of the 'physicians' crusade,' when doctors lobbied lawmakers to ban abortion as part of a plan to legitimize their profession. Leading the charge? The American Medical Association rewirenewsgroup.com/2023/02/07/its…

Always a pleasure to join Status Coup News. Listen to my convo with Jordan about Trump’s stance on abortion. Lots of talk about… you guessed it, the Comstock Act youtu.be/JEICZIoigZ0?si…

I am hearing from some reporters that the Trump Campaign won't directly answer questions on Comstock. Would love to hear media experiences on this question: are you asking, and how is the campaign responding?

This is silly. Trump is running for President of the United States, not Governor of one state.

The question is whether Trump's DOJ will seek to enforce a nationwide abortion ban via the Comstock Act. The answer is obvious.

At this rate I wonder if we’ll have power when I fly back from California Tuesday night. On hour 29 and counting since Xcel cut out power and the lights coming on Monday is ‘a moving target’ 🥴🫠

This is legitimately the corniest thing I've ever done. But it's also a masterpiece. 🧜🏾‍♀️ #AbortionIsHealthcare
