The idea that financial investment in abortion is what creates "skin in the game" reflects internalized misogyny. Abortion is health care and covered 100% for anyone struggling at the margins of the US economic system built on stratified access to wealth. tinyurl.com/4kp5admt

This is the important conversation we have to have in ā€œblueā€ states! Abortion reimbursement rates must increase. Thx ⁦@TammiKromenaker⁩ minnesotareformer.com/2023/09/29/abo…

They sit down with American University professor and abortion expert Dr. Dr. Tracy Weitz to understand where the shame comes from, why even popular slogans like ā€œsafe, legal, and rareā€ perpetuate it, and what a world without stigma would actually look like. wearethemeteor.com/work/the-a-fil…

Then, the demand was simple: abolish all abortion laws. While the Roe decision legalized abortion, it gave the power to the state and to doctors, not those of us who need abortions. It solidified the government's interest in pregnancy and abortion decisions. We gave up power.

Today there's a lot of "Roe wasn't enough." Offering a more strident critique of Roe--justifying abortion in physicians' rights and recognizing state interest in fetal life were BAD standards. We need to decriminalize all abortion, not just reinstate bad legal reasoning.

Slightly confused-all the mainstream repro groups are posting they want more than Roe-but they are all sponsors of the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) which codifies Roe and criminalizes later abortions. Please-replace WHPA with something that protects ALL abortions!

Blue states need to take a cold hard look at how THEY still fail their residents in providing abortion access. It is a complete embarrasment. California Universities Are Required To Offer Students Abortion Pills. A Lot Just Don't Mention It laist.com/news/education…

Abortion is sociological, not just political or medical. Read all about it in my new article with Dr. Kimport ANSIRH. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/so…

My favorite academic thing is when a book—researched years before—becomes incredibly relevant. Check out Cromer’s Conceiving Christian American. nyupress.org/9781479818594/…

Melinda Gates could pay for every abortion in America every year in perpetuity. So could MacKenzie Scott. If they wanted to they would, you might say
