Not sure if you listened to the whole hearing in NH or just during Senator Whitley’s comments but the arguments from the Republican Senators were incredibly hypocritical and maddening of course hearing Senator Carson speak of …this misinformation needs to stop! There is no mandate for a transvaginal ultrasound in this bill! And the fear mongering needs to end today!….was incredibly frustrating!!!!! The misinformation that spews from their mouths on so many topics including the soon to be sports ban they will pass to ban trans girls from playing in sports on their team in middle and high school, is incredibly hurtful and sickening!!! The facts provided by the Dem Senators during that hearing were amazing! Advocates we can all stand by!! And sadly and maddeningly, NH will continue to go this way with a 14-10 majority in the Senate😡😡😡
Well that's just lovely. (sarcasm). Now that I'm reading "how project 2025 will ruin your life" by Andra Watkins. Nothing surprises me at this juncture.
To quote my favorite Movie Character... "Stupid is as stupid does - Forrest Gump.
I read somewhere, a comment that said, "if you live in a Red state (like mine Texas) your not living in a democracy. " Sounds accurate to me but the expanse is much bigger as it affects us all.
I am doing all I can to advocate for justice and hope Colin Allred gets elected. Ted Cruz has got to GO! Gotta get some bright blue dots here is Texas! 💙💙💙
This is the Republicans’ attempt at re-establishing the Scarlet Letter “A”. You know the one from the Puritans in the mid 1600s? The one that branded the woman and her child as untouchable garbage while the impregnator continued with his life? yeah, THAT one.
I had an abortion in 1993. I reached out to the clinic to ask them if they still had my info. I was worried because who knows how far these morally-bankrupt people are willing to goto punish women. I was told they keep records for 10 years and then they are destroyed. That's how stressed out and worried I am about women's privacy.
Hi Jessica, I'm a Texan and have noticed an uptick of women on Reddit posting asking if they should go to the ER or tell their gynos that they've had a miscarriage or think they are miscarrying. Is there data on miscarriages and if these laws have caused an increase in miscarriages? It's terrifying for these women. I can see how this data might also end up including women who have had miscarriages and deter even more women from getting very necessary care to prevent further medical complications.
Anyone else notice Rokika’s office number on the bottom of his request? Just a quick (or not) phone call politely clogging up their messaging might slow him down… just saying. 317.232.6201
Project 2025 consistently uses the phrase "abortion is not healthcare" for a reason. If they can divorce abortion from healthcare, HIPPA doesn't apply. They can conduct much more invasive surveillance.
I was so busy reading the article headline as, “killing confidently“ that I totally missed your typo. But once you pointed it out I had a great laugh, which is the cure for what ails me. You keep me going.
You offer daily clarity to what makes me blind with rage, a typo ain’t gonna change that.
As for this punch at confidentiality, it reminds me of a witch hunt, a la The Crucible. Shame, punishment, robbing women of autonomy and putting us in our place. What a tired, old playbook.
The term “private parts” is used to teach children that they have authority over their bodies, to say “No” if someone tries to touch them without their consent. They are told to tell an adult and they will be protected. Is a ten year old going to be told that is a lie because the embryo from a rapist has to be measured by a vaginal ultrasound? I have agreed to have vaginal ultrasounds for medical reasons to assess my condition. Even then it is an invasive test by its very nature. If I was told that the procedure had to be done so that a picture of my private parts could become public record, that would make it a whole lot more invasive and abusive. These people have their brains glued in place, and it is a very bad place.
" Rokita claims that the terminated pregnancy reports [TPRs] aren’t medical records, and that they 'do not belong to the patient....Like death certificates, TPRs are public records open to public inspection for the purposes of government transparency,' he writes."
So there you have it. The woman doesn't exist at all. She has no agency and these aren't medical records for HER. The fetus has the agency, though I don't know how it can be a "death certificate" if fetal personhood isn't on the books in IN? Or is it?
These people are like bloodhounds, thirsty to punish women.
Your typo gave me a little chuckle despite this horrendous topic. Daily the Overton Window gets shoved over to the far right. It’s amazing the work that you do!
No one here faults you over this! ❤️
This news is incredibly disturbing and needs to fuel the anger over these bans.

Send us some BLUE energy.
Well Jessica your typo...what can I say it happens. And to be honest it is quite fitting!! "pubic record" sound right 😉.

Just when I think I can't be further horrified . . .
Shame and fear: the timeworn tools that have always been used to shackle women.

I wrote about how the CDC would surveil all pregnancy outcomes here: https://project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/project-2025-how-christian-nationalist
HIPPA? This is a violation of the patient privacy act

I'm envying these prospective jurors who have a chance to stand in front of TFG in that NYC courtroom and say something...
I'd say: "Can't be impartial. He subjugated women. My daughters are afraid to be pregnant in America." Best dismissal I'd ever have!
