We used to set *good* examples.
“#France’s Senate on Wednesday adopted a bill meant to enshrine a woman’s right to an #abortion in the French Constitution, clearing a major hurdle for the legislation.
The measure was promised by President Emmanuel Macron following a rollback of abortion rights in court rulings in the US”

Hasn't Project Veritas been found guilty of not veritas?
"Missouri AG sues Planned Parenthood over Project Veritas video involving fictional girl"
"Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a lawsuit Thursday against Planned Parenthood, relying on a staged, edited video from a right-wing group to accuse the organization of illegally transporting minors out of state for abortions."

The pill mifepristone will be available with a prescription at pharmacy counters in a few states to start.
"The Christian nationalist movement has long used abortion as an issue to unify different strands of their movement. They know that if you can get people to vote on a single issue, you can control their vote. ...
If you dig deeper, it is really about the money and power, and not just sex."
~ Katherine Stewart, author of The Power Worshipers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism

😳”At least four states are considering legislation to follow North Dakota in mandating the showing of an animated fetal development video in elementary school classrooms.
The particular video suggested, Meet Baby Olivia, developed by the anti-#abortion organization Live Action, is factually incorrect and rife with misleading information.”

This morning, I overheard someone talking about the "violence" that takes place during an #abortion . & so now, you get a 🧵.
Below is a wonderful chart that helps folks understand fetal development. There are times I want to have it painted on a sandwich board, so I can wear it everywhere I go.
I've given birth to a full-term baby; had an abortion; suffered a miscarriage. The least violent of the 3 was most assuredly the abortion. +

First to NBC News: Groups working to enshrine reproductive rights in #Arizona's state constitution say they've ALREADY exceeded the signature threshold to put a constitutional amendment on #abortion on the state ballot in November. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/arizona-abortion-rights-amendment-backers-says-gathered-signatures-nee-rcna145922
“#Florida Supreme Court ruled Monday that a state constitutional amendment that would limit government intervention in #abortion procedures across Florida meets the necessary requirements to appear on ballots this November, and at the same time upheld Florida's 15-week abortion ban.”
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/florida-supreme-court-abortion-ballot-initiative-amendment-4/
Rep. Ruben Gallego:
"Today's ruling is devastating for #Arizona women and their families. This is not what Arizonans want, and women could die because of it." “This isn't about partisanship — it's about protecting Arizonans' rights. And here in Arizona, we support a woman's right to an #abortion — which is why I am going to defeat Kari Lake and fight like hell to protect abortion rights once and for all."
Indiana Court Gives Win To Group Arguing Religious Freedom Grants Them Right To #Abortion - TPM – Talking Points Memo https://talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things-stand/indiana-court-gives-win-to-group-arguing-religious-freedom-grants-them-right-to-abortion

#Trump famously bragged about being the one to undo Roe v. Wade as pres, insinuating others had tried & failed. #Abortion continues to be a, if not the, defining issue for 2024 election. Dems have gotten a boost every time it was on the ballot since Dobbs was handed down.
So no surprise Trump walked it back in his statement this am, saying, leave abortion up to states, knowing that conserv stance on abortion cd cost him votes. It's not about policy or principle w Trump.
"Donald Trump thinks he just pulled a fast one on the media and the electorate. On Monday morning, Trump put out a video articulating his “position” on abortion. …
For weeks, Trump signaled he was planning on proposing a 15- or 16-week national abortion ban."

"While once again taking credit for the end of Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion, Donald Trump nonetheless tried to distance himself on Monday from the most extreme anti-abortion positions of his party in an explicit effort to 'win elections.'
The purported abortion position Trump peddled in a video posted Monday on Truth Social is unrealistic, unworkable, and unpopular. Don’t fall for it."

He’s lying.
“#Trump on Wednesday said he would not sign a federal #abortion ban if one reached his desk were he to be elected in November.”

👇🏼 (Of course no matter how he answers these, he's lying, but at least it would be documented... again)
Via Kyle Griffin:
Q's #Trump needs to answer on #abortion:
Wd you sign bill prohib abortion after 15 wks?
Wd you direct FDA to revoke authorizatn of mifepristone or roll back expanded access?
Wd you use Comstock Act to ban or restrict abortion?
Would you sign legis protecting access to IVF?
How do you plan to vote on Fla ballot measure protecting right to abortion until fetal viability?

Here's William Jones who authored the 1864 #Arizona #abortion bill.
Some fun facts:
He abandoned his first wife and their children in Missouri.
His second wife was a 12 year old Mexican girl. He abducted her and after a complaint submitted his resignation to President Buchanan before he was fired.
The state of abortion rights in the U.S. unequivocally demonstrates that women are second class citizens. All the orange and tan states deny women autonomy over their own bodies, the most basic element of liberty. The federal government permits this. I’m angry and heavy-hearted. #abortion #patriarchy #misogyny
