Hi everyone - I’m on vacation through the end of the week, but I hate to watch the DNC without you! To make sure we all get to commiserate over this week’s events and speeches, Abortion, Every Day will host live-chats for the next three evenings.
If you’re a paid subscriber, you’ll get a message when the chat starts up around 7:30PM Eastern tonight. If you haven’t upgraded yet, this is the perfect time. The AED community is pretty fantastic, and it’s nice to be able to chat with folks who care about abortion rights as much as you do. And if you need an extra reason to make the jump, I’m running a discount this week:
I hope I see you in the chat tonight! I’m especially looking forward to hearing from second gentleman Doug Emhoff, Gov. JB Pritzker—who has been leading on abortion rights in Illinois—and, of course, the Obamas.

In the meantime, if you missed the incredible moments about abortion rights at the DNC last night, you can watch them below. (By way of comparison, remember that the word ‘abortion’ wasn’t uttered once at the Republican National Convention.)
I'll be in the chat tonight! It was heart-wrenching listening to the brave women relating their post-Roe horror stories last night. And so necessary.
We LOVE you, Jessica!!
