I have like 37 pregnant-on-purpose friends right now & the majority of our conversations are about how they're smushing together different leave time (paid, unpaid, partly-paid) for postpartum recovery. I can't get over the cruelty that this is the backdrop of the post-Roe world.

Self-managed abortion with pills is a safe, effective way to end a pregnancy. You can purchase abortion pills before getting pregnant. But please don't run on pill distributors unless you expect to possibly use or have a real plan to redistribute pills in your community. (1/4)

Imagine a world where the thought of a cop handcuffing someone 12 or *older* was still reprehensible. The fact that they didn't already have a policy of not violently restraining children is repulsive.

I'm just a brown* girl, standing in front of the repro movement, asking them to acknowledge that the removal of the Muslim ban is our issue, too. Might fuck around and write about it for the #reproaction blog...

A (white) Yelp reviewer wrote the rice was "dry" about a Persian restaurant we went to & my (white, non-Iranian) mom quipped, "He's probably only ever had rice drenched in Campbell's cream of mushroom." ... SHOW ME AN ALLY!

Our movement is our people. This piece tells a story of staff cruelly betrayed by a workplace & management purportedly functioning for rights & justice. So much admiration for those who spoke up, and for @TheTinaVasquez for taking on this vital reporting:

Resurfacing from a migraine haze to say: Violent racists have always been inseparable from the 'pro-life' movement. Patriot Front just has different uniforms. The #MarchforLife2022 is a white supremacist event, just like past iterations. Fascism finds a welcoming home there.

I am so proud to have fought anti-abortion fake clinics for over 5 years with @reproaction . This is not a side issue of abortion rights & reproductive justice: fake clinics are the power core of the 'pro life' movement's #BadFaithMedicine , & they're only getting more powerful!

Like I honestly can't be bothered by the opinions of the 'we are the daughters of the witches you couldn't burn' types who didn't have it in them to start any fires themselves. Not that Emily is exactly there but close to it for sure.

@icuddlepuffs There's some nuance to that stat as discussed in this article but just as or more important: Plan B *prevents* pregnancy. It does not cause abortion. Abortion meds are mifepristone and misoprostol.

@Imani_Barbarin Not invalidating the point, but when New York largely throws up its hands & presumes that these insular religious communities are going to be petri dishes & not ramp up their outreach on decent public health mwasures is also rooted in a lot of able ism, as well as antisemitism
