Holy Shit You Need To Know That Health and Human Services is Coming For Your Rights, RIGHT NOW
Trump’s holy-roller Department of Health and Human Services is redefining away your abortion rights RIGHT NOW! These two articles (1, 2) explain how the HHS ‘s draft of its new strategic plan is peppered with unscientific language about maintaining religious freedoms and dangerous medical quackery like, “life beginning at conception.” It’s all part of a deliberate plan to undermine medical care for anyone who may need an abortion, as well as other disturbing changes that erase the specific medical needs for people of color and of LGBT* folks. It is really vitally important that you READ BOTH—and TAKE ACTION BEFORE OCTOBER 27TH by giving public comment at DHHS RIGHT HERE.

TX Attorney General Upfront That He Doesn’t Want TX To Be A Place That Helps Women
Incidentally, when women like the pregnant immigrant in one of the pieces above request necessary abortion care, the response from officials is that they don’t want to be a “sanctuary state,” as they’ve said in court cases involving this. I guess being known as a place that’s hostile to women is just another way of discouraging immigration.
