Note, I am finding these threads on the twitter feeds of ICU nurses who are now dreading the horrors that Roe falling will bring to their hospitals. This, on top of the horrors that they’ve seen and continue to see because of the pandemic. They were already exhausted and hanging by a thread.
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again.
If you want Roe v Wade overturned, but don’t support:
Comprehensive sexual education in schools
Easy and affordable access to contraception
Access to adequate and affordable prenatal care
Paid parental leave
Subsidized childcare
CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program)
WIC,
Then you don’t actually care about reducing abortions or protecting children. You just want to punish women for having sex.
All of the "Pro-lifers" that are celebrating right now I sincerely hope you or your daughters never have a Miscarriage that they cannot naturally pass, because a D&C is an abortion.
I hope you don't have a ectopic pregnancy, because the procedure that will save your life is an abortion.
I hope you don't have a still born baby that your body can't naturally pass because that induction is an abortion.
I hope you are never in a place where carrying a baby full term would mean your death (as mine would, my doctor looked me in the eyes and told me if I get pregnant again I WILL NOT MAKE IT, and fuck you all because my kids need a mom more than they need a sibling.)
I hope you don't find out your baby has a condition that will mean being alive for how ever long will cause them excruciating pain, that you don't have to birth your baby and watch them die a horrific, painful death in your arms.
I hope you aren't raped and forced to carry that baby to term no matter the detriment to your mental/physical health.
I hope you aren't forced to give birth to your abusers child, giving you no way out of the relationship.
I hope your 10 year old is never assaulted and have to carry a baby to term that will almost definitely will kill her.
I hope that you don't go to jail when they investigate your miscarriage and determine that something you did made it YOUR FAULT.
I hope you realize you and your daughters will die from laws you created.
I hope you realize the consequences of your actions because you may have to suffer through them.

Waking up everyday to learn that, yes, things did get worse
In light of recent events I am posting this here
“It’s not that we’re fighting for special rights just for us. We’re fighting for the same rights.” — Jim Obergefell
Nine years ago today, the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges recognized a simple truth: love is love.
This decision ruled that all states must license marriages to same-sex couples and recognize marriages lawfully performed out of state. Obergefell v. Hodges guaranteed marriage equality in a monumental ruling for the LGBTQIA+ community. 🏳️🌈
Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.
If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.
In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)
So if the Democrats take the Senate, Bernie Sanders becomes head of the Senate Budget Committee? Which would make him the fourth most powerful individual in the United States.
Imagine how much we could get done with a Sanders-led Senate Budget Committee under a Democratic president who has already been forced to adopt most of his domestic policy in exchange for his endorsement.
If you really want to see the change we got behind Bernie for, get Clinton into the White House, and get Democrats into the House and Senate.
(Also keep in mind that this next president gets to decide what’s constitutional and unconstitutional for the next 30-50 years, as they will most likely get to appoint at least four Supreme Court Justices.)
this has got to be the upmost STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard EVER
from ANYONE

“Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Carbon dioxide is not harmful to ordinary things, to human beings, or to animals, or to plants.” Alito said. “It’s actually needed for plant growth. All of us are exhaling carbon dioxide right now. So, if it’s a pollutant, we’re all polluting.”
What I can’t believe
is that the supreme court passed a DISCRIMINATION LAW against the LGBTQ+ community
DURING PRIDE MONTH
ON THE LAST DAY
I genuinely mean this, I hope all 5 of those Supreme Court members who voted Yes have to live their lives getting harassed and are extremely bothered till their last dying breath.
Bother them, make their lives miserable, make them not want to leave their homes.

This is a summary of the bill:
Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act
This bill prohibits distributing, maintaining, or providing internet hosting services for a foreign adversary controlled application (e.g., TikTok). However, the prohibition does not apply to a covered application that executes a qualified divestiture as determined by the President.
Under the bill, a foreign adversary controlled application is directly or indirectly operated by (1) ByteDance, Ltd. or TikTok (including subsidiaries or successors that are controlled by a foreign adversary); or (2) a social media company that is controlled by a foreign adversary and has been determined by the President to present a significant threat to national security. The prohibition does not apply to an application that is primarily used to post product reviews, business reviews, or travel information and reviews.
The bill authorizes the Department of Justice to investigate violations of the bill and enforce the bill's provisions. Entities that violate the bill are subject to civil penalties based on the number of users.
The bill requires a covered application to provide a user with all available account data (including posts, photos, and videos) at the user's request before the prohibition takes effect.
The bill gives the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia exclusive jurisdiction over any challenge to the bill. Further, a challenge to the bill must be brought within 165 days after the bill's enactment date. A challenge to any action, finding, or determination under the bill must be brought with 90 days of the action, finding, or determination

Please for the love of everything, SPREAD THIS VIDEO. I'm not one to get into these situations where I'm like 'spread this! reblog! reshare! show your friends!' for mental health reasons but this is very very important. Tag your friends and spread this video as much as you can, read the bill for yourself, TAKE ACTION. @in-a-mello-mood @scraptumblers @amfloofer Read the bill 'HR 7521' here:
Not America denying a poor 10 year old girl an abortion. Absolutely disgusted and horrified by the supreme court today.
They literally committed a federal crime, and yet they still have the power to decide on Roe v. Wade...
Republicans love the Republican lying. It makes the hypocrisy and bad faith all the more vile.

Hey, as an American, if you Aren't one maybe you can show some fucking sympathy to the people who are going to suffer right now. The amount of posts I've seen from non-americans saying shit like "lol greatest country in the world" and essentially laughing at us is not fucking comforting and can be really upsetting. Acknowledge that this is going to hurt us (we certainly fucking have) because we didn't just lose Roe v. Wade, we lost so much more. Read the fucking room for once.
In light of current events, we need to be aware of this.
not my meme but you all do know about this right? It feels like it's getting buried right now and I feel like its proponents are trying to take advantage of that.
