Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you're looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight. pic.twitter.com/PpXBEcbL2S
For more than a month, we’ve known this day was coming—but that doesn’t make it any less devastating. Here are my thoughts from when we first saw the draft ruling: https://t.co/aegHc7AoTm
It’s been a tough couple of weeks since we saw the leaked SCOTUS draft opinion on abortion. Even if we knew the courts were heading toward this day, it doesn’t make the frustration, grief, and fear any less real.
If any of you are questioning whether or not your vote matters, I get it. But remember that state lawmakers are the ones who will determine whether abortion is safe, legal, and accessible in your communities. And we are the ones who determine our state lawmakers. pic.twitter.com/Nafi5LfC8i
So when you get home from marching, check your voter registration status with @WhenWeAllVote and encourage others to do the same at https://t.co/PA4LvmFR0D.
It is not helpful to tell people of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, etc that they should move. First of all, most of you saying this have no space. Two — there is no where to go. This country is collapsing colonial project. This is it. Where you are is where you fight.
I wanted to see if anyone from our industry would speak out about the abortion bill, but I guess people are too scared. This isn't just an issue for women, it's one for every human being. We fight for equality and this is something men should fight for and not hide away from.
A long time ago an ex of mine got pregnant. We had used birth control but it still happened. We thought we were being safe enough. It was her choice to abort and I supported her. I'm so grateful we had access to abortion. Men, tell your side of the story. #ProChoice
when i was 22 my partner found out she was pregnant in the bathroom of the Tisch building. I did not know what to do. I was terrified. She knew right away she did not want to have a baby now. I knew that what she knew was clearer and made more sense than the mess in my brain
i went with her to a place in an office building in midtown. i remember people yelling at us as we walked in. I remember thinking, how can you be pro-life and also yelling at a woman who is in this much fear and distress? I don't get it.
the point of this story is that we did not have a child until we were ready, which was about six years later. We traveled, worked, experienced the death of parents, got married. I started working in youth non-profit where i started writing more seriously, she found her career
who knows what my life would have been like if I, a skinny 23 year old aspiring artist and writer would have become a father? I think a lot of dudes need to do more than claim solidarity and outrage. We need to admit culpability and involvement. We need to admit responsibility.

A white woman wrote the law. A white woman governor will sign it. 62% of non-college educated white women voted Republican in 2016. This is a powerful and disgusting image, but we also have to address the complicity of white women. https://t.co/3mmNLqhQGB
I had an abortion when I was 19. It wasn’t traumatic or particularly interesting. I just didn’t have any money. My partner wasn’t someone I could parent with. I wanted to finish school. I wouldn’t have been a very good mother.

I am the happiest, most authentic version of myself I have ever been. I learned vulnerability and patience through my abortion. I learned to truly take care of myself.

I wanted to share this because so much of the narrative surrounding abortion right now is that it must be under traumatic circumstances to be “ok.” But abortion is a right. We do not need to dramatize abortion to make it more appealing to anti-choice.

We need to normalize abortion - it is nuanced and uncomfortable and sad and lifesaving and empowering and a of these things can exist together. We need to throw our support behind people who need AND want abortions.

Remember the story of that guy who was upset because he knocked up a woman, forced her to have the baby thinking he could trap her. She signed away her parental rights to him but pays CS faithfully. I hope that queen is having a wonderful day.
Behind millions of successful men is an abortion they don’t regret getting with their partner. I urge men to go beyond solidarity and talk about how they’ve personally benefited from abortion rights too. Not because it’s the right thing you to do, because it’s true!

Be encouraged. Keep loving. Keep strategizing. Keep working. “The world won’t get no better if we just let it be.”
The states trying to ban abortion are the states that have the highest proportions of black women living there. That’s not a coincidence, it’s exactly who these white legislators want to take reproductive rights away from.
I am the 1 of 4. I have zero regrets and owe zero explanations or justifications. What’s happening in Alabama is terrifying and it is a clear & direct attack on women. Everyone should be fucking outraged. #YouKnowMe
I feel proud and honored to hear people sharing their #YouKnowMe abortion stories, but let’s be clear, you don’t need to have a “reason” to have an abortion. You shouldn’t have to prove to anyone why you want control over your own body and your own life.
