NEW: Ohio lawmakers have finally voted to make it illegal to drug & rape your spouse. A woman who suffered for 10yrs because the law didn't see her abuse as rape cried with joy as she talked with me. Story may be triggering. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…
There's not one, but TWO abortion-related cases at the Supreme Court this term. Today, they'll hear a case about EMTALA (the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act), so here's a table to summarize both.
@NASWOhioChapter Dara Adkison of @trans_ohio asks why they, as a trans parent of a student in school, value less than any other parent. "Why should my gender invalidate my child's right to be represented in education the same as everyone else... stop the politicization of our existence."
@NASWOhioChapter @trans_ohio Gabby Doyle of @TrevorProject: "This bill sets a dangerous precedent that allows politicians to censor school curriculum they don’t like, and undermines the diverse perspectives of parents in a school’s community."
Liam Strausbaugh with @NASWOhioChapter: "Mandating that school support staff report a child’s innermost thoughts and feelings to parents can be incredibly damaging to a child’s therapeutic process and would discourage youth from sharing anything at all with support staff."
@TransAlliesOhio Maria Bruno of @EqualityOhio is up next, calling the bill an explicit "don't say gay" policy that would put teachers in "an impossible situation." "Whatever good intentions this bill had went out the window when it was amended to specifically target LGBTQ students," she said.
Here's how to help stop H.B. 8:

This is so simple; either you believe in free speech even when you don’t like the message, or you believe in violent state repression.
OSU sociology dept. faculty, staff and doctoral candidates are calling for charges to be dropped against those arrested during protests and for the university to take no administrative action against student protesters. Several sociology students were among those arrested.
An open letter from members of the Department of Sociology at Ohio State to @OhioStatePres and @ScarletGraySLVP in response to their sanctioned police brutality and retaliation against community members exercising our right to free speech docs.google.com/document/d/1nT…
An acorn is not a tree. A seed is not a flower. An egg is not a chicken. An embryo is not a child.
Pastors come to spew hate-speech, it's allowed. Bigots bring signs depicting blood and guts, it's allowed. Adult men scream at young women in clothing they deem 'inappropriate', it's allowed. But when tuition-paying students protest, they shut down the whole damn oval.
Students have now dispersed. University police say south oval will be monitored for the rest of the day. Students walking can walk through to get to class but are not allowed to sit.

I've rarely seen as much ignorance about the reality of parenting as I've seen in today's Ohio Senate Education Committee.
Here's how to help stop H.B. 8:
Chairman Brenner just announced that the committee will not be voting on House Bill 8 today! Folks will still be giving testimony. Please take this time to contact members of the committee and urge them to not bring this to a vote in the future, either.
📅⏰TODAY at 3 p.m. The Ohio Senate Education Committee will hold a hearing for HB 8, the Unsafe Students Act. The bill is also scheduled for a possible vote. 🚨 📲Take Action: action.aclu.org/send-message/t… 🧵🧵

Here's how to help stop H.B. 8:
There used to be more significantly seats in this Ohio Statehouse committee room. Is the Ohio GOP trying to literally reduce the number of people who can attend public hearings?

URGENT call to action from @EqualityOhio: CALL SEN BRENNER (614-466-8086) — Tell him not to bring HB 8 up for a committee vote! This "don't say gay, don't say trans" bill is NOT what #Ohio voters want their government focusing on. More info on HB 8: drive.google.com/file/d/11SoVSv…
⚠️TAKE ACTION ⚠️ Help stop 2 anti-LGBTQIA+ bills from moving through the legislature this week. HB 8 (forced outing/censorship of LGBTQIA+ content in classrooms) may pass out of the Senate Ed Committee and Senate floor, and HB 183 (bathroom ban) may pass out of the House.
ℹ️ HB 8—a dangerous bill that requires schools to essentially out students to their families, regardless of whether or not they are safe and supportive— is scheduled for a hearing today. CALL CHAIR BRENNER (614-466-8086) to tell him not to bring this bill to a committee vote.
