Excuse me, we’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty. A bear peering through a cabin window.

The clinic staff spent Friday canceling the appointments of 60-70 patients scheduled for abortions in the coming weeks. “Some patients broke down and could not speak through their sobbing. Some patients were stunned and didn't know what to say. Some patients did not understand.”

The only abortion clinic in West Virginia is no longer performing abortions, as of today. “Roe has never been enough, but in states like West Virginia, it was the only thing protecting abortion access,” executive director Katie Quinonez said. apnews.com/article/live-upda…

Today is a very solemn moment for the United States. The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That's never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.

If US Supreme Court overturning #RoeVWade was about babies, there would be: Universal healthcare Free birth control Free education Free daycare Child support Criminalisation of all rape & child marriage As with all abuse of women, this is purely about male power and control

Abortion is legal in California. It will remain that way. I just signed a bill that makes our state a safe haven for women across the nation. We will not cooperate with any states that attempt to prosecute women or doctors for receiving or providing reproductive care.

‘When the penalty for rape is less than the penalty for abortion after the rape, you know this isn’t about caring for women … [but] about controlling them.’ In 2019, poet @TheAmandaGorman took a stand against abortion bans in the U.S. & her words are just as relevant today.

Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman Against Abortion Bans
