Eruptions, Erections, and Ejaculations from and of Hell . . . Reproduction of humans through slave labor in the uterine field and vaginal rape from the inside out - forced birth. New alias for the GOP: SURVP - Slaved Uterus Raped Vagina. What's common to rapists: sex perverts, reproductive perverts, and religious perverts? Attack! Take Possession of an intimate part of the victim human being to obtain dominance, control, and use thereof against the victim's will. The barbarian enemy intends to enslave the labor performed by the uterus followed by inside-out vaginal rape for all girls and women from puberty to menopause, Canada to Mexico, and Coast to Coast (and the overseas parts of the US, too.). From nine or ten years old to 50ish, female persons slaved and raped.

Can anyone doubt that we will have a near-brush with our second civil war over slavery before we have a near-brush with an asteroid?

If SURVP-inspired violence resumes or worsens, freedom loving Americans may need to carefully study the gun rights decision of Justice Scalia (surprise!). https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/554/570/ [cut and paste into address bar]

States can prosecute federal crimes. And there are plenty of state laws that address violence. There are also civil suits.

Is it legal to protest outside churches of people who belong to these groups? Asking for a friend...

This is chilling. How can the info in this particular newsletter get to a wider audience? What can we do?

How and when do we "take to the streets?" I can't think of a time in my life when I have felt more like getting arrested.

Until one of their own is hurt by this, they won't try to quell the violence against people getting what are their inalienable rights.

I just can't get over the cruelty. It gets worse and worse and worse.

I’m wondering if we need to change our approach to supplying abortions in blue states. Maybe we could give up the idea of a dedicated building for abortions. Maybe people call a number and are directed to different places to receive care? These places could change constantly.

We need to get more proactive. (I love the dog idea but would hate to hear that they are getting shot by these bloodthirsty maniacs.) Can we outsmart them somehow? They seem pretty stupid…

This piece could use a follow up about state law, reviewing what buffer zone protections are in place in different states. Hill v. Colorado did not establish a buffer zone around abortion clinics; it upheld a state law that did so. The nonenforcement of the FACE Act at the Federal level provides an opportunity for States to strengthen their buffer zone laws. Given the current composition of the Supreme Court, it will be important to craft these laws carefully so that they withstand First Amendment scrutiny. It should be possible to design these laws so that they are even tougher than current laws. One analogue is laws prohibiting politicking around polling places. These laws are quite categorical, prohibiting anyone even standing within a certain number of feet from the entrance and holding a sign. If that prohibition is consistent with the First Amendment, it should be possible to design rules protecting clinic and hospital entrances the same way. I am not an expert, and so not familiar with what various state laws provide, but the thing to do would be to review the existing laws and find the best models. It could be that one of the States already has come up with a pretty good solution.

Yes, talk to your state legislators in blue states about passing a buffer law.

Clinic escort here. Thank you for your work. Sounds like it’s about to get pretty wild.

Can you tell me how to become a clinic escort? I’m in South Carolina…

Expand full comment

Hi Carol! I’m in South Carolina too! I got started by visiting the Planned Parenthood South Atlantic website and under the employment section (such a dumb place for it) and there it has a section about volunteering to become a clinic escort. I actually volunteer at the Charlotte, NC clinic since it’s the closest to me. I have friends who volunteer at the independent Greenville clinic and can get you info for there if you’re closer to Greenville.

That’s wild that you happen to be in SC too! Thanks for the info on where to look to get started. I’m in Aiken, and unfortunately the closest PP clinic is in Columbia, but I hope to find a way to volunteer at least once or twice a month. Do you know how to connect with a network that provides longer distance escorts—I’m thinking for women in SC who don’t know by 6 weeks and need to travel to NC. Thanks again.

Awesome, I know Columbia will take any and all help. If you want to do something involving travel, I’d start by reaching out to the folks at Carolina Abortion Fund. They should be able to point you in the right direction!

Thank you for what you do.

"God demands Justice" what a joke. Shameful.

Goddess demands justice too. Just saying! 💁🏻‍♀️ They are rabid because they are losing, as Jessica points out: abortions have gone UP; their bs is not convincing the majority.

Although I am not a lawyer, I believe state and local laws could be passed. Everyone, contact your city councilors, mayors, state reps, etc. Dogs are also a good idea—if Elevated Access can fundraise for pilots to fly women out-of-state for abortions, surely there are groups that can raise money to train dogs to protect patients entering abortion clinics.

The dogs don’t have to hurt anyone, they just have to be loud and menacing.

There are also most certainly existing laws that protect any business or office from harassment or crowds that impede their activities. These should not be neglected.

That seems like a very good idea.

Please comment on something that I wonder about: okay, so the Trump regime can refuse to enforce SAFE protections and end any federal role in protecting clinics. But can states enforce protections in state law against violence against women and clinics? Lord knows, we've got state prisons ...

How do we support clinic escorts and patients? By donating money to hire security guards?

Expand full comment

Now would be the time for all escorts to be armed and claim you were standing you ground because you felt your life and others lives were threatened!

Expand full comment

That was my thought--in a Stand Your Ground State, would a clinic escort be justified in shooting a menacing protestor who they felt was threatening them?

Expand full comment

Remember, Republican legal theory is "we win all the time," so nobody shooting right-wingers would ever be deemed justified. Whereas anybody who feels threatened by dark skin or other difference is considered double-o licensed to kill.

Expand full comment

I agree with you 100%.

Expand full comment

Many people have used same argument to justify a shoot for far less antagonism.

After all their years of killing doctors, burning clinics, and their terroristic threats, it wouldn’t be a far leap to a claim of self defense.

Expand full comment

I guess it would take someone testing the theory to find out if it worked.

Expand full comment

Agreed. In my mind those crazy lunatics are a threat all the time.

I think the violence is what the GOP wants. Russ Vought said as much. They want us at each other’s throats, taking each other out, while they figure out how to grift more money.

Bingo! 🤬 I pray to Goddess they are sent back to the pit of hell they flew out of. 🦇These creatures love violence; they lap it up like milk. They feed off of our fear - and they expect us to crumble and acquiesce. But we never will!! We have the moral high ground, and we have the popular support of the US and the world!

Can't we arm children with squirt guns loaded with cat piss to spray the forced birthers? Or maybe rotten produce.

I love this idea. Is your cat trained to per into that little hole on top of the squirt gun?!?!?
