Hold republicans accountable for the people their murdering laws kill.
In Texas today - I was at work talking to other women coworkers. One had just moved here from up north and was telling a story about recently thinking she needed a pregnancy test and almost went to buy one.
No…no no no…we told her. She was confused. We told her the horror stories and said no period tracking apps, get someone else to get your test for you, and tell no one. Then decide what you need to do but don’t google shit about it. And don’t text anyone. And no FB messenger.
She was horrified - she didn’t know it was that bad. She didn’t know about the case of the abusive guy suing his ex’s friends for helping her to get an abortion & escape the relationship. We sent a link.
She didn’t know they’re looking at passing a law to make it illegal to cross state lines to get an abortion. We sent a link.
We said you’re from another state where this is legal. If you think you need one, you’re going home to visit your family and you don’t say anything else.
She said any one of us were welcome to go and “visit her family” whenever we needed.
If you haven’t already, look into getting a Signal chat up. That and a VPN. If you want any resources DM me and I’ll either set you up or connect you to someone who can.
Hey - just want to say thank you and you’re amazing. I truly appreciate this.
I am set up with the things you mentioned, and I plan to educate my coworker who really isn’t.
I do have a couple of questions pertaining to this on other things related to this, and I’ll DM you, but of something were to come up in the future it’s always nice to have another tool in my belt. Again, very many thanks! <3
As someone with experience in the digital security field, I’m replying here for if you have additional questions, just in case.
You’re obviously not a woman: if you were you’d know that we talk about this stuff all the time, and that it absolutely is not obvious to women in blue states how scary things are in red states.
Don’t even need to be a woman
Men talk about this shit too, most of us actually care about the people in our lives that this had an effect on after all
@Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee you dropped this out the back of your shorts, you want it back or…
Control over women is the point. Their deaths do not matter to these people.
That’s the whole point of having so many kids. More parishioners to work in the fields to fill the coffers and if a few die no worries we’ll make new ones.
And is also a plus side of the “controlling women” argument - if they have a fuck ton of kids and don’t work, they don’t have many options if they ever decide to leave.
Their deaths do not matter to these people.
It’s going to be women who spearhead the work to overturn these bans. Republicans don’t give a flying fuck about children being murdered in schools; the deaths of those “slutty sinful evil babykilling whores” but not me, I’m a good person who needed my abortion! isn’t going to make them change their minds. Remember: to a Republican, any fact which doesn’t conform to their worldview (like abortion bans increasing the number of dead women, or comprehensive sex ed and easy-to-access birth control reduces abortions) is just simply wrong.
Justice Alito claimed that he and the court foresaw the legal and actual consequences of their decision and what impact it would have on state laws, existing and otherwise. He chose this. He chose to kill somebody by taking away their rights, and now he has.

fucking heartbreaking. brian kemp, drumpf, samuel alito, clarence thomas, john roberts and the three Trump appointees — neil gorsuch, brett kavanaugh and amy coney barrett have blood on their hands.
