In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

The erosion of abortion rights is extremely rare in the world, and almost exclusively occurs in backsliding democracies. Here’s my reporting on the link between those two forces: nytimes.com/2021/09/09/wor…

"As a pro-choice pastor, I've always believed that a patient's room is way too small for a woman, her doctor, and the United States government. I'll always fight to protect a woman's right to choose," Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), in part, said. bit.ly/3y9z3BO

"The same mostly male politicians who oppose abortion so often do everything in their power to oppose rights to paid parental leave, subsidized child care, single-payer health care or any kind of social safety net that could improve family life." — roxane gay. nyti.ms/37Y8nta

I’m a gun owner. Do not tell me our Founders conceived of this carnage when they wrote the Constitution. Do not tell me they would have tolerated this madness. Do not tell me that teachers must be armed. And do not tell me your AR15 is worth more than another 14 children’s lives.

Our bodies are not designed to absorb and process this much violence, loss, and grief.

Ban assault rifles, not books. Regulate firearms, not women’s bodies. Protect kids, not lobbyists.

As the daughter of the cop who arrested the school shooter at Santa Fe high school, I can absolutely say arming teachers is not the answer. 🧵: CW death, school shooting, mental health, writing from memory

Iowans: here is a great thread for taking action.
