It has happened. Abortion is illegal in Texas right now. SCOTUS failed to act so in effect Roe v. Wade is meaningless. These are truly devastating times. I donāt know what else to say.
Hereās Jessica Mason Pieklo again explaining it helpfully. Check out the whole thread.
Sorry to spam so much tonight but Iām kinda freaking out.
Also sorry to be a broken record (not really sorry) but what happens in Texas is coming to a state near you soon. Check out the soon-to-be situation:
Thatās a horrifying lack of access. How many poor and working class people will die of botched procedures? (While wealthy people like those who passed this law will be able to easily travel for their abortions.) How many children will suffer in families that didnāt want them and/or canāt afford them?
I fear the reverberations of this day immensely. I gotta get off my phone bc I have an early/long day tomorrow but Iām just so sad.
I feel like a walking zombie at the moment. Today is the first time Iāve been required to report to an in person work event in 18 months and Iām really fucking overwhelmed trying to pretend Iām not a mess.
Anyway, here are some helpful round ups of whatās going on w/ this.
āThis just means these right to life organizations can go out and sue all the womenās clinics and pretty much obliterate that side of womenā
The Supreme Court allowed the nationās harshest abortion ban to go into effect, without lifting a finger.
I have no doubt in my mind that these states are hoping the people they arrest can become part of the prison industrial complex (slavery). These people will include, but not be limited to, the doctors, the parents (mainly the mother), those who help them access the abortions, and the children who will inevitably get caught up in the foster care/school to prison pipeline
Accurate. We have hella prisons in TX.
Please stop saying that abortion is illegal and that RvWade is dead. While the situation is dire that kind of language sends a counter productive message to the people facing and soon to face the same kind of legislation. Abortion is NOT illegal in Texas and itās important to know how to navigate this new terrain.
If you live in Texas, please begin to look at your resources. Buy abortion pills now. Donāt wait. Have them just in case you need them. There are companies that will mail them discreetly to you for free. Get serious about contraception. Know the laws. Know your rights.
