Gov Tim Waltz needs to try the Washington state Pilot program of allowing pharmacists to prescribe abortion pills to people. He also needs to work on shield laws for the states around him. Currently has none on the books that I know of.
Hi Jessica, Aid Access is not blocked on my FB and no info on their IG is blurred out for me. I have checked several days now. If this is happening only to certain people's algorithm then likely most can still see it?
And where is Priscilla Chan while her husband goes MAGA and collaborates with those who would strip her and their daughters of their basic human and civil rights? She was at the inauguration so I guess she’s just another wealthy sell-out.
I just deleted my entire Meta platform, and it’s clear to me that legacy social media is toxic and complicit in our oppression. It was really the frog in the pot of boiling water in the end and I finally leapt out.
thanks Jessica, I thought MAGA and the Tech Bro-verse had unleashed a libertarian paradise of unfettered free speech. Funny it doesn’t extend to Aid Access. Honestly sometimes I think Thiel, Mark Z, Sachs and Musk are more despicable than Trump.
I am sure you saw this but sharing just in case. TheSkimm bought the reproductive rights site that the Trump regime just shit down. A small bit of good news in an otherwise demoralizing landscape.
It’s imperative that those heroes who put themselves forward for public office be armed with talking points to rebut the antis. Not just facts and figures but pithy phrases etc.
JESSICA: Ask a Governor? Push certain additional themes in messaging - all-American themes. Consider: (1) Pro-Family: Defend American families from Big Republican Government/Clergy control over our most intimate, private parts - sexual, reproductive, and religious beliefs. (2) The American people cannot allow rape of girls and women, whether sexual, from the outside in, or reproductive, from the inside out, which is forced birth. (3) Individualism, the essence of American Exceptionalism; not involuntary servitude in the uterine field, forced birth or C-section major surgery rape. (4) NO to three major perversions by rape: sexual, reproductive, and religious. Sex, reproduction, and religion must be the free choice of the individual; and not the dictate of the the Ruling Dictators - whether politician or clergyman. Dictators must be forced to put moral boundaries around their drives, whether for power, money, sex, reproduction, or religion.
honestly the democrats need to message about personal freedom and the absence of coercion as a capital F value in all aspects. I am not sure why this wasn’t the number one issue this last cycle, I guess if it “wasn’t focus-grouped by an undecided“ it doesn’t exist.
Right. I was trying to use value-laden words usually used by Repub. politicians, but which are not so often used by Dem. ones. Words like pro-family - that includes Defend the Family from rapists and slavers of vagina, uterus, and penis (attack on condoms a little down the road.) These attacks come from the reproductive drive without a moral boundary, and their counterpart on the sexual side also targets the vagina. The essence of rape is the forced taking of possession (control and usage) of the victim's intimate, personal part(s) for the attacker's purpose and use - against the will of the victim. Rape is frequently performed in the context of sex, reproduction, religion, or domination for other reasons. Animal drive plus no moral boundary to avoid harming others can yield rape.
Individualism is another word. The refusal to recognize girls and women, especially between puberty and menopause as individuals, is part of the heart of reproductive rapists passion. But they also believe that there is a "Spirit of Life" in the fertilized egg so it is already a (one-cell) unborn baby or person. That's an even more extreme corruption of personhood than "fetal personhood".
The usage of words in this fight requires long discussion. A final example for only this comment is the difference between "human life" vs. "human being". The former can include all living human protoplasm, but the latter requires either birth (religious view in the Christian Bible's Old Testament and Jewish Bible) or first mental activity arising from the neocortex (the first neural circuits therein merely appearing at 29-31 weeks of the gestational period) A very large number of these circuits functioning is required for initial mental activity.
I agree with you re personal freedom and the absence of coercion. It's also the never-ending struggle between the Western Enlightenment applied to all persons vs. each and every form of tyranny, oppression, and slavery. I would like to hear more of your thinking about this.
I found the info about Aid Access here and found the process very easy. I don't know who will need the medicine but I feel like it's the same as stocking Narcan (which I have in my medicine cabinets b/c I'm raising teenagers, thank you very much). The timing of this is heartbreaking.
Shocking not shocking? I've posted this on my instagram and facebook pages asking people to both follow AidAccess at https://www.instagram.com/aidaccess/ :) and also to report it. those fuckers are going to pay.

The aidaccess.org website is up, and ready for us to make purchases, to share with those who need them!!

No immigration and increase pregnancy risk equals population decline.
How to find and share the federal REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS website shut down by Republicans.
How to post messages privately on Instagram by first encrypting them which makes it much harder for Mark Zuckerberg to read and censor the message.

Agree. They are weak and care only for money and being part of a tragic gang of idiots
MySunValleyLife, thanks for the link! It worked and I was able to follow. I searched Instagram and couldn’t find it until you posted the link.
Just made a $110 donation to Aid Access. Pardon my French, but f*** the conservatives and Mark Zuckerberg.

Joeff, do the comments by Ken and Henri (below) strike you as helpful? What are some examples you can think of?

I can see Aid Access's uncensored Facebook and Instagram pages here in Canada. So it's the US blocking it domestically. 😡
