A survivor of child rape is brave enough to use her story to highlight the cruelty of his party forcing *children* into parenthood after assault

...in a state with some of the highest rates of child and domestic abuse in the country.

In four states, you can’t get divorced if you’re pregnant, and they have now also banned abortion. 19thnews.org/2024/04/states…

Every newspaper has a business section and none have a labor section despite the fact that most readers will not be corporate CEOs but almost all readers are workers.

It’s Black Maternal Health Week, and according to CDC, Black women in Georgia & across the country are *three* times more likely to die from pregnancy than white women.

Together, we CAN change this—and make Georgia & America a place where Black mothers can live and thrive.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams is a caricature of himself. “The mayor popped down into the Times Square subway station, recorded a video about safety, then went right back up to his car.”

Once we fall pregnant, at what point do we want to give up OUR personhood to the state?

Abortion bans ask us one question and that is it.

The 'as long as I am AG' part is important to AZ's Attorney General saying people won't be prosecuted for abortions. AZ has a 7-year statute of limitations for felonies. It seems that the *next* AG could prosecute people for prohibited abortions going back 7 years. Right?

Domestic violence is a kind of small-scale terrorism. What OJ Simpson did to Nicole Brown Simpson was not the event of one night—it was a years long campaign that thousands of women suffer at other men’s hands. Read Andrea Dworkin’s memorial to Nicole: evergreenreview.com/read/in-memory…

What’s important to know about the context of these old laws is that pregnancy was considered such after quickening, when the pregnant person could feel fetal movement. So, what they’re considering an abortion is a later second trimester abortion by today’s standards.

it continues to be so weird to me that so many heterosexual men link their heterosexuality to dressing like garbage

One more comment about Representative Angryman. His party is pushing hard for school choice. They're selling it by saying it will benefit the underserved. /1

This is what every elected official should be using their platform for right now—and signing on to pass legislation to end the Hyde Amendment, calling for Comstock to be repealed, and calling for abortion to be decriminalized nationwide.

The four white members of the school board voted for this and the three black members voted against it.

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

He has a record, he appointed the judges, AND we have hours and hours and hours of his own words saying he wants to punish women, brags about overturning Roe.

As recently as TODAY.

Abortion bans are not supposed to make sense. They're not supposed to follow history, law, science, or medicine. They're not meant to be rooted in response to anyone's real needs.

Abortion bans are meant to cause fear, confusion, panic. Whether from 160 years ago or today.

Oophta.

FWIW Seth Goldstein has been sounding the alarm on this for a while.

It's an incredibly bleak development considering all the labor movement gains made in the past few years.

Not enough of us are talking about it 🙃🫠

Can we hurry up and get this done? It's been almost two years and DeJoy still has a job.

If you are worried about Republicans resurrecting Comstock, here's a thing Dems can get done before the election to potentially protect abortion access.
