What the actual all-encompassing fuck?! Temporary incoherent rage at all of this. Just want to scream. Welcome to TNWDO (The New World Dystopian Order) It's gonna (already does) suck for us all.
If pregnancy isn’t a medical condition then why do women go to doctors when they are pregnant? And why the heck did they send police to arrest Laura Pemberton because she didn’t want a c-section?
In the part about Missouri: the AG says that 61% of women/girls who get abortions are "coerced." That number came from--where? What was the population surveyed? And when? And how? What questons were asked? (Note: be very, very careful when you see specific numbers like this.)
Let 2025 be the year we go on the offensive by attempting to contact and solicit an answer as to why those individuals who appear in Jessica’s posts support cell and embryonic (first trimester ‘personhood’ which is behind all this nonsense. I’ve commented before that it’s not the Christian Bible. (See TexasChristians.org/Bible.) I have asked this in writing from almost 300 Texas city council members and county commissioners where ‘Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn’ have been declared and in some cases travel bans imposed. Nothing. I have solicited the same from around 70 legislators who voted for Texas’s abortion bans and from about 20-30 more anti-abortion candidates about to take office. I got one “don’t send me any more of your Satanic surveys,” one “we disagree” but no response as to why, and one “the 14th Amendment” which enumerates rights for the “born and naturalized” not the “born and fertilized.”
We never make them explain themselves. It’s time we started, before our wacko Supreme Court declares a fertilized egg a person.
I argued with the weird old man forced-birther, who was concern trolling on here about that, and explained it wasn't in his bible. I told him it wasn't traditionally considered a child until it drew first breath. I couldn't remember where the verse was and he was annoying, so I gave up arguing with him.
Good on you, Etherial! The breath (Hebrew nefesh) verses are Genesis 2:7 and Ezekiel 37. You can. Alway send him to TexasChristians.org/Bible where he or anyone can download our The Christian Bible is Not Against Abortion fact sheet at no charge.
How can they ban interstate commerce? It’s so unconstitutional. My only thought is if the courts aren’t going to enforce it then we don’t have a constitution. Also the hate for women is breath taking.
Jessica, have you considered making a documentary (with all your spare time and resources!)? I think getting all this information into a viewable format that could reach people via Netflix or some such streaming platform could be a game-changer.
Does Idaho plan employ a special medical security force of gyns to examine every woman who's leaving the state? Men make these silly laws. They cannot possibly determine if a woman is pregnant or not by looking at ther eyes?
Well, back in the day, they claimed they could tell if a woman was a witch by whether or not she drowned when they dumped her in a river, weighed down by stones, so...I don't put anything past these nutjobs, frankly.
Not crazy about those stones. But that was back in the day. Now they’ve suspect women of being liberals. Not sure what the test would be. A date with Tump ?
We seriously need to remember, and respond appropriately, to the fact that these mostly men are actively trying to kill us until we capitulate, allow whatever they say and want to be shoved down our throats - with gratitude from us (remember when the Orange Rapist with Dead Eyes said that we the people WANT what he is selling?) - and accept our fates at their hands. Let's get real here, sisters and those who really are our brothers. He and they want absolute power. In the red states, what we are 'allowed' to read and when, where and if we can travel is being challenged. THEY WILL NOT BE HAPPY UNTIL THEY HAVE EATEN THE WORLD. They are working on creating an American Taliban and will not stop until no woman dares to speak or even dream her truth. What do you think they will do if and when they use technology to track every girl's and woman's menstrual and emotional states? And if you think that they would never do this, you are dreaming. Vance et aI believe, in their shriveled and blackened excuses for hearts, really believe that the only justification for our continued existence is that we have wombs and, until they develope an artificial womb that works, we are needed to produce boys. I have heard Men's Rights activists, and they and the magas are in total agreement about this, say that Trump and his should make rape a non-crime non-issue and that the women who say no or fight back should face severe criminal charges and that no woman should have a voice in her own fate, considering that we are property, with no more natural agency than a chair. Granted, these are not usually politicians saying this out loud, but you know they are thinking it.
For millennia, these guys and the boys who came before have used fear and shame to control us. Just look at the religious and social admonitions and restrictions applied to women, based on definitions and narratives of and about us that tell us, from birth, that we are just not very bright, we are dishonest and untrustworthy, our perspectives and truths are not worth paying any attention to and our speaking out, being angry or just plain wanting something other than what is 'offered' by the patriarchs is shameful and insane. Am I furious about generations of girls and women being defined by these patriarchal narratives as being far less worthy and human than the penised assholes? Oh, you have no idea. Which is why I want to be part of a mass exodus of women from male narratives and controls, so that we can finally rid ourselves of these hideous cycles that result too often in what they want of us - upon our knees, begging for our lives and kissing their rings. They want our pain, our fear, our shame. It feeds them. It is time to starve them. Start a women's group wherever you are, help each other to shake off their 'values' and grow into who we actually are. Which we still have to discover.
My motto is Freedom = I Won't and the group I am hoping to start will be called Lysistrata...a name I hope to hear in every woman's voice. Apologies for the length of my little rant here.
So if you travel with a pregnant teenager and they have a miscarriage, then you’re a trafficker? How are they going to monitor who is pregnant and who’s not. Are they going to monitor their pregnancy status when they come back into the state? This is going to require full surveillance of women’s bodies all the time.
It really feels like we are heading for a future where female-presenting people will be stopped at border checkpoints.
I'd love to see a mini-series of what we can learn from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina -- other countries where they operated strong grassroots networks that facilitated access under strict bans for years. I imagine the Plan Cs and other orgs have that playbook, but I'd love to know what we can learn as ordinary citizens.
"but it could be a useful PR tool for Democrats" -- The democrats who keep throwing us under the bus? Please consider stop normalizing or framing in your writing that all democrats [not a monolith] as believing abortion is healthcare. We currently have a religious democrat president who can't say the word abortion and wouldn't codify the ERA when he had a chance to BECAUSE it would make women able to be equal to make their own health care decisions. Stop framing democrats as a whole as pro-abortion because they do not all see women as equal or abortion as neccessary.
PLEASE URGE BIDEN TO MAKE THE ERA THE 28TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION. This is something significant and meaningful we could work on in Biden's last 70 days in office. Many of you probably know that the ERA has been around a long time and is in limbo. Right now, because the required 38 states have ratified the amendment AND several law suits as well as the American Bar Association have deemed time limits for constitutional amendments to be unconstitutional, all this is left to make this the 28th amendment to the Constitution is to urge Biden to have the national archivist sign it and publish it in the Federal Register. We are asking everyone to send a letter or postcard to Biden ON DECEMBER 15th urging him to publish the ERA.
The address is: President Biden, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW; Washington, DC 20500.
And, call the White House and leave a message at 202-456-1111. If hundreds of thousands of us (or even millions) urge Biden to do this, he may actually ACT. Let's do it!!
You cannot ban people seeking healthcare in another state. But they are doing just that and getting away with it. Any ideas about how to stop them? They are men seeking to corral us women. And they are inch by inch succeeding.

Does the trafficking law apply to parents who decide to travel with their pregnant teenage children to pursue abortion care?
It sounds like it does.
In the part about Missouri: the AG says that 61% of women/girls who get abortions are "coerced." That number came from--where? What was the population surveyed? And when? And how? What questons were asked? (Note: be very, very careful when you see specific numbers like this.)

We DON'T have a Constitution. The Constitution is whatever six extremists on the so-called Supreme Court says it is.

🤮And getting grabbed by the pussoir? UGH🤮😬
I am confused. I thought you said there was good news in here somewhere?
I like to point out how age of consent in Idaho is 16. Pick a lane you assholes. Thanks for letting me speak my mind.

Democrats are far more likely to favor reproductive rights than the GOP.
Biden is a practicing Catholic. He was never going to be the forceful advocate that we want, but he still cane down on thr pro-choice side.
Progressives who insist that EVERY candidate be 100% on this issue are going to be disappointed.

This is terrifying on so many levels. How can you ban people from seeking healthcare in another state?
You cannot ban people seeking healthcare in another state. But they are doing just that and getting away with it. Any ideas about how to stop them? They are men seeking to corral us women. And they are inch by inch succeeding.
