Last month, I came across a California case I’d never heard of: People vs. Belous. It involved a doctor convicted in 1967 after referring a young woman to an abortionist. Abortions in the state were illegal at the time except to save a woman’s life latimes.com/california/story…
Her illegal abortion paved the way for Roe. 56 years later she shares her story

Her illegal abortion paved the way for Roe. 56 years later she shares her story

A 22-year-old woman and an abortion doctor from California played key roles in the legal fight that led to Roe vs. Wade, now struck down.

Better start checking where the company is based. The EU has better data protection laws than the US.

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.

So, if i need an organ transplant, do I get to choose which woman gets to give up her bodily autonomy to keep me alive, or will the government do this for me? npr.org/2022/06/24/110230587…

Mayor Eric Adams offered New York City as a safe haven to Americans seeking abortions after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. nyti.ms/3HQsFSz
A quote from New York City Mayor Eric Adams reads: "To those seeking abortions around the country: Know that you are welcome here, and that we will make every effort to ensure our reproductive services are available and readily accessible to you."

If you believed the police were there to protect you, this makes you question why do we have cops in the first place.

Human history says otherwise. Either keep your joyless views to yourself or use your influence wisely. This is irresponsible.

Lunar eclipses are so un-spectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to the Moon you’d probably not notice at all. Just sayin’.

Right now: Barricades are up around the Supreme Court building, just minutes after reports from Politico were leaked indicating SCOTUS has voted to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The barricades around the U.S. Supreme Court building have been up since at least April 26, 2022, likely in response to the self-immolation of an environmental activist on Earth Day. gettyimages.com/detail/news-ph… gettyimages.com/detail/news-ph… nytimes.com/2022/04/24/us/…
