“GenBioPro, the largest manufacturer of abortion pills in the U.S., is seeking to join a legal fight over access to the medication with the #Trump

[Thread] So, the following is from a presentation I gave at a Women and Gender Studies class I took in 2017 (as a Classics Major). I thought it was important to post here -- especially in this day and age where women's reproductive rights are being threatened. In some ways, we've taken a step backward as time has gone on...

SCOTUS Just Gave Abortion Clinics a Rare Win

But more significant threats from Trump’s Department of Justice remain.

Since Texas brought its near-total abortion ban, no one has studied the statewide effect on people undergoing pregnancy complications. So @ProPublica did it, purchasing and analyzing seven years of hospital discharge data. The findings: The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50 percent for those hospitalized in the second trimester of pregnancy. “This is exactly what we predicted would happen and exactly what we were afraid would happen,” said Dr. Lorie Harper, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in Austin.

Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared.

There’s no federal methodology for studying complications that arise during a pregnancy loss. To understand how Texas’ abortion ban is impacting maternal health, we consulted with researchers to craft one.

Here’s how we sifted through data on millions of pregnancy hospitalizations and analyzed the outcomes before and after the ban.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
—

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Three Months After Missouri Voted to Make Abortion Legal, Access Is Still Being Blocked

Reproductive rights are now enshrined in the state constitution, but Missouri’s main abortion provider is fighting legal hurdles to resume offering the procedure. Meanwhile, anti-abortion lawmakers strategize to prevent a return of abortion services.

Abortion rights activists get into, take over lead of Tampa's "March 4 Life" forced birth parade

On the 1st of February, Tampa forced-birth marchers assembled outside a downtown Catholic Church and marched to a nearby park.This was Tampa's local version of the national annual January march against abortion rights. This was also 12 days after the installation of "King" Trump.

Abortion rights activists managed to enter the march, then take over the lead. The offical lead banner crew kept slowing down or stopping to open a gap, but abortion rights supporters were wise to this old countermove. At one point they reversed the roles, stopping and forcing the entire march to file past them.

At the park rally, abortion rights supporters actually HAD THEIR OWN TABLE, and advanced towards the rally from that position. This diverted some of the rally participants to forming a front line at the back of their rally.

While some verbal sparks flew, punches never did. Things stayed entirely peaceful. At no point did the police threaten either side either.

New York doctor indicted for prescribing #AbortionPill in #Louisiana

By SARA CLINE and GEOFF MULVIHILL
Updated 2:53 PM EST, January 31, 2025

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — "A New York doctor was indicted by a Louisiana grand jury on Friday for allegedly prescribing an abortion pill online in the #DeepSouth state, which has one of the strictest near-total #AbortionBans in the country.

"Grand jurors at the District Court for the Parish of West Baton Rouge issued an indictment against Dr. #MargaretCarpenter; her company, #NightingaleMedical, PC; and a third person. All three were charged with #CriminalAbortion by means of #abortion-inducing drugs, a #felony.

"The case appears to be the first instance of criminal charges against a doctor accused of sending abortion pills to another state, at least since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade in 2022 and opened the door for states to have strict anti-abortion laws."

#abortion #Trump #pardons

I just got word that Trump has pardoned clinic-attacking forced-birth extremist Lauren Handy. She appears to be the de facto leader of PAAU, so called "progressive anti-abortion uprising."

NO pardons for the FL 4 of course, the heroes prosecuted under the same FACE act for spraypaint graffiti at a fake clinic in FL.

At this point there is the menacing possiblithy that any of our folks taken prisoner especially by Trump's Federal regime could be in for the duration.

Please help oppose this 15 week abortion ban with no exception for rape or incest here in #NH

Here is a link to the text of the bill:

https://gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/billinfo.aspx?id=764&inflect=2

(You have to choose introduced from the version drop-down on the right, I’ve tried to paste the link that would just go there and I don’t know how)

And here is a link to oppose

https://gencourt.state.nh.us/house/committees/remotetestimony/
(If you add written testimony it becomes permanent public record)

I think it has to be done before tomorrow at 9:30 AM. I might be wrong but the last time I did one of these they wanted 24 hours.

The two landmark cases Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton were decided on this day in 1973, protecting the right to have an abortion.

As of today, Roe v. Wade has already been overturned, and the new administration made it very clear that they will continue their war against reproductive rights.

But we keep on fighting. Support an abortion fund today:

#ERA #Dobbs #abortionrights #abortion

ERA DECLARED IN EFFECT BY BIDEN

MAJOR news: On Feb 17, at D-3 for Trump taking power, Biden declared that the combined ratifications of the Equal Rights Amendment by states over the years adds up to enough to make it the law of the land.

In order to actually take effect though, it needs to be published by the national archivist, Colleen Shogan which may or may not happen.

Thus people are being asked to email her at (note that this is hand transcribed and may contain errors!)
archivistoftheunitedstates@nara.gov
and demand that the ERA be formally published as the 27th Amendment

This will seriously limit the Christian nationalist war on women and may even be enough to override and reverse Dobbs by creating a new constitutional hurdle for abortion bans

A pregnancy center can bill the state $14 for distributing diapers that cost the center just over $.25. And before parents can get those diapers, they must take a class that the center can bill the state $30 for each hour of class a client attends.

Now tell me, which of these states didn't enact an insane abortion ban.

They're just another proof, that MAGA is a barbarian cult of psychopathic morons pretending to be advocating life, while at the same time calling for mothers, who had to have an abortion to survive, to be killed.
Idiotic fanaticism is an extremist/terrorist national security threat.

"Pro-lifers" want the lives of mothers, who had an abortion, to be taken.

No pro-choicers were ever heard calling for the death of pro-lifers, who shamefully demand the killing of aborting girls, women & mothers.
