“Reasonable limits” on the legal right to abortion.

Correction: this happened PRE DOBBS too. This is how we know restoring Roe is not the way out of this nightmare.

As Jessica Valenti says, abortion bans are designed to kill. So WHY are we compromising with these people?? Decriminalizing abortion completely is the floor. And it's what we urgently need to dig ourselves out of this nightmare.

Forcing people under the age of 18 to be pregnant against their will is truly depraved.

Don’t go into OBGYN if you’re not willing to do abortions for your patients

"We have an incredible opportunity in the ashes of Roe v. Wade to build the thing that our community needs."

Abortion laws with gestational limits and other restrictions are based on the idea that we need policing to keep "the wrong people" from "misusing" abortion services. That is some patriarchal bullshit. The path to true health and safety requires decriminalizing abortion.

NEW: Multiple safety-net abortion clinics are weeks away from shuttering, with one telling me it could close by the end of the year. Even if Harris wins, more people could be denied abortions in short order. “Roevember” won’t save these clinics newrepublic.com/article/187782…

In 2020 I thought we’d have a long-term vaccine for 2-3 major Covid variants by 2025. Masks would be commonplace. What’s actually happening is why my brain feels broken.
