"For the first time since Texas banned nearly all abortions, Republican lawmakers are considering tweaking the language of the law to protect the lives of pregnant women.

But this much-lauded bipartisan effort will offer no reprieve for women carrying doomed pregnancies diagnosed with lethal fetal abnormalities."

From Shelby Tauber in 2024: All these women I met and photographed wanted to be mothers. These women are among the millions in Texas who now have substantially less authority over their bodies. Our bodies.

"A new Kansas law and a Florida bill outline policies backed by abortion opponents that critics see as moves toward giving embryos and fetuses the same rights as the women carrying them."

So a fetus is a person when trying to deny women rights, but not when the hospital's wallet is on the line? It's obvious the true ideology here is about controlling women and nothing more.

Today's book has been both emotional and uplifting for me. I have had two abortions in my life and while neither one was especially difficult for me in any way, I understand that for some people it's different. Circumstances, emotions- so many things come into play with a decision this big.

I would like to mention that the author donated 50% of her advance and is donating 100% of sales to abortion funds. Makes me feel good about purchasing this book.

Is pregnancy becoming criminalized in the U.S.? Experts say the arrest of a Georgia woman who had a miscarriage is part of a developing pattern since the fall of Roe v. Wade. @NBCNews has more:

As we explore privilege and entitlement and #patriarchy, there are so many things men simply won't face, or don't believe are happening, or deep down are not able to face.

Because they're weak.

And it doesn't matter how conservative a woman is, if she has a #miscarriage and her husband is not a safe person to talk to, these husbands don't know that they don't know that there have been miscarriages.

That is something that men, ought to be telling other men.

This webinar might be useful for people in *any* red state that has imposed one cult's backward misogynistic beliefs onto everybody and endangered women's lives, their future fertility, and their liberty, in order to impose bodily slavery and unwanted economic hardship on women and their families.

This is not the will of the Divine, it's the will of a bunch of men who want control and power. And it needs to be defeated.
