Prochoice - Tumblr Posts
dear pro-choice community:
If you’re living in the U.S., please vote in the midterm elections this November. I know we’ve all had this preached to us lately, but it’s so so important that we stand up for reproductive rights in this election especially after Trump being elected.
I’m living in Texas, one of the most conservative states in the country where reproductive rights are being quickly chipped away and I’m fearing we don’t have much time until this shit turns into The Handmaid’s Tale. I have friends that can’t afford health insurance, contraceptives, abortion, pre-natal care, much less have enough money for their child(ren).
Texas has the highest maternal morality rate in the developed world.
I genuinely think that this election is our last hope we have. Please, please vote not only to save yourself, but so many others that may not have the opportunity.
Rise up against the patriarchy
Rise up against the patriarchy!
Stand with Planned Parenthood, resist Trump!
A question for people against abortion:
Do you think a world where abortion is not practiced at all is possible? And what would that world look like to you?
Genuine question, no hostility.
Shout your abortion!

Breaking News: US ready to sink further into right wing theocracy
"The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” he writes in the document, labeled as the “Opinion of the Court.” “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”

CLARIFICATION:
"Every reporter picking up this Politico scoop needs to be very clear — this is a leak of a DRAFT. No ruling has been made public. If a patient has an appointment, they can continue to receive care. Those draconian anti-choice trigger laws in certain states DO NOT APPLY yet."

UPDATE:
"Supreme Court lawyer Neal Katyal: "My thoughts on politico story saying the Court voted to say Roe v. Wade is fully overruled. I’ve quickly scanned the draft opinion and it appears legitimate. This means there was a preliminary vote to fully overrule Roe V Wade and that a majority of the Court agreed.
This opinion says states can criminalize abortion, with no rape or incest exception. It is exactly the hardline position I’ve been saying the Court is going to impose for the last 3 years. It will set women back in profound ways. Congress must act ASAP."

The Supreme Court may toss Roe. But Congress can still preserve abortion rights.
A simple majority vote in the Senate would nullify the threat to reproductive health posed by the Mississippi case.
Readers, I'll post "what do we do now" info soon. In the meanwhile here's my post on the 100% hypocrisy of the so-called “Pro Life” movement
