Seriously scares the shit out of me.

It amazes me that several times when I wore my "Fuck Texas Abortion Ban" tee shirt to the gym I've had young women say they don't get it.... Just go somewhere else....Anyway it won't happen here (NY). I'm thinking of making up a shirt with your newsletter info on it.

It's so hard to like each of your posts. I'm so grateful you put yourself through this--I'd be hiding under my bed with everything you gather each week/day. But your work is so important. Thank you!

From the Students For Life site:

"In the world of birth control, the area of focus for pro-lifers (separate from religious belief) is abortifacient v. non-abortifacient. Abortifacient means that a device/substance is capable of unnaturally ending the life of a preborn child, primarily by thinning the lining of the uterus (endometrium) so much that a conceived person cannot implant and therefore dies."

You know what else thins the endometrium lining? Breastfeeding. So nursing mothers are evidently killing babies every month that they choose to feed their babies? Should we ban breastfeeding? These people are morons.

Jessica's work is invaluable for people who believe in the Constituion, Life, LIBERTY, and the pursuit of happiness, and that women are human beings with minds as well as uteri.

"yeah of course it's staffing issues; nobody wants to fucking work here."

That's the clarity of thought and writing that makes Jessica's work so invaluable!

I don’t know why I’m still surprised Republicans are literally trying to say abortion isn’t abortion-because it’s just so desperate and transparent but it’s just so bizarre to me..
