Until We’re Equal @untilwerequal

yesterday the MI Board of State Canvassers deadlocked (along partisan lines) on whether an abortion rights amendment to the state constitution could be included on the Nov ballot. this decision is a slap in the face to democracy & disenfranchises almost a million Michiganders 🧵

NEWS | Mary Peltola, a Democrat, has won the House special election in Alaska to succeed the late Rep. Don Young. She becomes the first Democrat to win a House race in Alaska in 50 years, and the first Native Alaskan to win a House seat in history.

The few abortion clinics that provide 3rd tri abortion care are already experiencing 3-5wk waiting periods. Patients are moving *mountains* for care they have sometimes spent weeks or months trying to access. Can people please wake the fuck up now? The crisis is upon us.

All bans on abortion are extreme.

Today is the 50th anniversary of an important public health achievement: the right to access birth control whether you’re married or not! 🎉 🎉 🎉

Elections have consequences. Today, Democrats are going to protect our fundamental rights to reproductive care, such as abortion, because they have the majority in @COSenDem. Elections matter. #RHEA4CO #COPolitics 📺: youtube.com/watch?v=CBATnX…

Idaho passed a SB 8 copycat bill banning the procedure after six weeks. Now, Oklahoma, Missouri, and other states are moving to copy Texas’ success in restricting our constitutional right to an abortion. Our movement is ready to stop them all.

I have a few more recommendations for how business leaders can support their employees in the face of these abortion bans, including implementing thoughtful policies on scheduling, paid leave and reproductive care coverage. cnn.com/2021/12/08/opi…

Well done, @Citi! Citi announced it will cover travel costs for employees forced to leave their home state to get an abortion. It's time for more companies to follow suit. businessinsider.com/citi-to-cover-…

This is beautiful. And I know from being an abortion traveler myself that the most valuable part of this care package is the acceptance and normalization. Priceless 🥺💜

Abortion is good, actually.

The recent barrage of 15-week bans on abortion interferes in the decisions that people should be free to make with those they love and trust—without political interference.

"The House voted 40-24 to pass the HB22-1279 after a three-hour debate. All votes in favor were from Democrats, and all votes in opposition came from Republicans." Thank you to our House sponsors @Dlesgar @RepMegFroe and the @COHouseDem for believing in #RHEA4CO🔥

I #CelebrateAbortionProviders because all of the organizing, advocacy and policy changes would mean nothing if our people didn’t have a place to land with their healthcare. Thank you providers for meeting the hostility of the moment with your immense compassion and care. ♥️🌱✨

I 💜 abortion providers because they know healthy pregnancies require consent. #CelebrateAbortionProviders

Thank you for sharing your story!!!

After thinking more about the violent myths and stigmas that were perpetuated in the #AZLeg during the 15wk ban hearing yesterday, I would like to share the testimony I was not allowed to give in full. It's long for Twitter but short for testimony due to time limits. It starts:

This is huge news! These new guidelines now fully recommend self-managed abortion as a safe and effective option, as well as recognize non-clinical providers in our communities as a source of abortion care.
