Weekly reminder: The anti-abortion movement also wants to ban birth control.

@HouseGOP @JudiciaryGOP @RepRaskin @RepDeborahRoss @RepJerryNadler "As an anti-abortion activist told the @washingtonpost, the goal of those terrorist actions was to make it so that NO doctor was willing to conduct abortions, even if they had a legal right to perform them." @RepHankJohnson reminding us what's at stake, and why the law is vital.

@HouseGOP @JudiciaryGOP @RepRaskin @RepDeborahRoss @RepJerryNadler "People targeted by the FACE Act are not peaceful protesters...Repealing the FACE Act is part of the long-term plan to achieve the long sought-after, extremely unpopular, goal of effectively banning abortion nationwide." Thank you, @RepRaskin, for setting the record straight.

🔴WATCH LIVE: We’re in court today in Idaho asking the state to clarify and expand the so-called medical exceptions to the state’s cruel and extreme abortion bans. https://t.co/VLHYof0ydn

To everyone who is afraid of what happens next, I share your fears. But what we do next is important. We have to learn from what happened. And then, make a plan. As we confront a second Trump presidency, here’s a path forward: 🧵

LET DOCTOS PRACTICE MEDICINE! 👏 Abortion is on the ballot in Florida—and a vote #YesOn4 will ensure that patients and their providers, not politicians, are the ones making medical decisions!

If you're noticing a lot more 'jokes' about controlling or stopping women's votes, you're not imagining it

GOOD NEWS: A Tennessee court has issued a preliminary ruling in our case, temporarily BLOCKING the state’s total abortion ban for patients with certain dangerous pregnancy complications and lethal fetal diagnoses.

"I never supported a national ban" says Vance, then that he "supported setting a national federal standard" which is... a national ban.

MINIMUM NATIONAL STANDARD IS THE SAME THING AS A NATIONAL ABORTION BAN

Amanda Zurawski, Kate Cox & all of our courageous plaintiffs are living proof of the devastating implications of abortion bans & the loss of autonomy and dignity. We need nationwide protections for abortion seekers & providers NOW. Read their stories:

Amber Nicole Thurman was killed by Georgia's abortion ban. She died in a hospital, surrounded by medical providers who could have saved her life. This is what abortion bans do. https://t.co/BgvPidtPBm

And I'm just like, "Hey, are you okay?"

This dog enthusiastically greeted Planned Parenthood volunteer escorts and then completely ignored the anti-choice protestors. 14/10

Liza Minnelli has outlived the wait for Kamala Harris’s VP pick. She has chosen Minnesota Governor Tim Walz .

Just months after the tragic murder of her beloved teenage son, still reeling with grief, our client Nicole learned she was pregnant. Her hope turned to despair, however, when she learned the fetus's organs were developing outside its body and it had no chance of survival.

The Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion in 2022. Since then, nearly two dozen states have banned or restricted access to the procedure and abortion pills. @SarahVarney4 went to Tennessee to report on the disproportionate impact the bans have on Black women.

Major new court rulings have dramatically changed the reproductive care landscape across America. In Idaho, @Yamiche meets a woman who had to be flown by helicopter to Utah while bleeding from a failing pregnancy.

Many of my best colleagues at Media Matters lost their jobs today. I'm sharing their announcements in this thread. However you feel about our work, it should worry you that any billionaire could do this to any outlet at any time for any reason. It's a sad day for free speech. 🧵

Out today: @shefalil's thoughtful, nuanced, deeply reported book on abortion access. It's an absolutely critical read for anyone who wishes to understand the politics and policy of abortion in the U.S. through a human lens. Excerpt here: https://t.co/oHz7yaBFFO
