Hope you’re happy Jessica! I know that the fight isn’t over since so many American women don’t have abortion access, but you deserve a well earned day off!

Celebrating Ohio passing reproductive rights into law. Depressed knowing the Republican legislature is already planning to undermine those rights. Befuddled listening to Vivek Ramaswamy yammering away at Kaitlin Collins on CNN last night about abortion rights. Republicans refuse to acknowledge the message these elections are delivering.

And Virginia !!! Take that, Youngkin !

"For months, some of the Republican Party’s top donors have dreamed of a dramatic late entrance into the presidential race by Gov. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, envisioning an improbable scenario in which the fleece-vested former financier rips control of the party away from Donald J. Trump.

On Tuesday night, those fantasies were dealt a dose of reality as Mr. Youngkin came up short in his attempt to complete a Republican takeover in Virginia’s capital, with Democrats not only maintaining control of the State Senate but also regaining the majority in the House."

As a Feminist and Transfeminist organizer and activist of Jewish descent, let me add in here that I'm absolutely loving the lawsuits against reproductive justice restrictions on religious grounds, as even my Orthodox Rabbi taught us in Sunday school that a gross fetus was not alive/not a person until it took it's first breath and the 'mother' (today I would definitely say pregnant person, but I'm using his words) always takes precedence...
