ugh. Indiana, you suck. I hope women move the hell away from there. It's all so heavy. I want to just give up on this whole country and move away myself. Although that's what the Right wants us to do - be overburdened and submit :(
They may be too poor to move. Moving is expensive, especially when they have few resources and if they are a single mom, they might be barely scraping by, or be taking care of an aging parent.
"One last thing: Pace claimed that South Carolina voters “are a pro-life majority…super majority.” As is the case pretty much everywhere, they are definitely…not." If only people voted that way...
We need to remember when they say a super majority of voters are anti-abortion, that they truly and firmly believe only Christian Nationalists should be allowed to vote.
Over the next 12-15 months we are going to see what steps Republicans take to ensure the elections are neither free nor fair enough for them to lose any levers of power in November 2026. I guarantee it's coming, and they only need to move the needle just enough to hang on to their narrow majorities.
Yes. I'm just frustrated that so many people and organizations with platforms are acting like it's a given that we're going to have normal elections next year. We should be proactive and call it out ahead of time. Because what happens is after the fact it gets both-sidesed and the population ends up accepting it.
It has to be the next step. That and the first amendment, although it's better for them if we have free speech but nobody's taking in the information because the algorithms are burying it, rather than having to use force to suppress it.
I was a kid during the 60's and 70's and remember reading horror stories about how the police, even in NYC, would grill women in the hospital recovering from illegal abortions to give up the names of their abortionists.
As sick as they were they generally kept silent.
These new stories about how the powers of 21st century law enforcement are being pressed into service to terrorize women seeking abortions are actually more chilling.
The scaffolding around the Supreme Court creating a shrouded building, is an apt metaphor for this Court that rules in the middle of the night and offers no explanations. Powerful photo.
PPRM is sticking with not seeing any Medicaid patients for any reason, in order to preserve abortion access. This = Albuquerque NM and all of CO. Just FYI. I've heard other affiliates are running other protocols, but our leadership feels this is safest and most reliable for patients rather than switching the message back and forth. - Lisa, Registered Nurse, PPRM

It seems like the best course of action as things are now is to support these women's legal defense. They need to be supported.
Yes!
Surprised to see my Alma mater on here! I am not surprised at Depaul’s actions nor the students’ (awesome) reactions.
Why would any woman of child bearing age still live in this state, or plan on attending school there?

But don't be defeatist in advance. W/o hope, we're doomed.

Yep, authoritarian governments and truly fair elections are largely incompatible

Way to go, Mayday health! Keep speaking up and speaking loudly! These maniacs need to know how angry we are!

Thanks for the update.
About DePaul University-thr Catholic Church is a patriarchal, misogynistic bureaucracy that hates women. It's a religion invented by, and for, men.
Ever so much this^^^ Unless you are a submissive, there is nothing in patriarchal religion for women, unless they enjoy being a baby dispenser.
And pederasts.
I'm Catholic and support allowing priests to marry.
It would probably help the vocation situation, among other things.
Deacons can marry, btw.
