Stand Up Against Forced Birthers
I wrote the following to my senators.
I am absolutely FURIOUS about power-tripping control freak misogynists taking away reproductive rights. They’ve destroyed Roe v. Wade, which was the minimum when it comes to abortion rights.

These predators include Republifascist lawmakers, injustices assigned by the Orange Menace of Putrescence, and such disgusting organizations as the absurdly named “Alliance Defending Freedom” (actually the Alliance Destroying Freedom, unless they mean the “freedom” to oppress women and nonbinary people to perpetuate Christofascist white supremacist heteropatriarchy). Hospitals are refusing to deliver life-saving abortions — waiting until women are on the brink of death — because medical practitioners in shitstates like Texas are afraid of spending their lives in jail…. just for doing their jobs.
