I get why dudes are all about it because it’s a tool to subjugate women… but the fuck if I will understand why any modern woman wants to keep that shit.

Reading Time: 4 minutes I know you are afraid of these things because we wouldn’t be spending our energy on outrage if we weren’t terrified.
We would, instead, be prepping for a war we know we’d win.
Women cannot lose if they decide to fight until all the old white men are out of office or in the ground.
We hold all the cards.

Men in the U.S. are not going to stop the rise of fascism.
by Confluenceby ConfluenceReading Time: < 1 minute Complaining, no matter how righteous it feels, no matter how loud, or how large your audience is, is not actually taking action.
Processing is important. Process with your people, IRL or online, if you must. Feel your feelings. However, do not mistake rage for action. - EditorEngage
I’m shouty about this because it’s not about saving fetuses, it’s about controlling women.
by Confluenceby ConfluenceReading Time: 3 minutes There should be no shame placed upon a woman who decides to have an abortion – regardless of her actions that led to being pregnant (sidestepping pregnancy resulting from rape/incest here as we don’t place as much blame or judgment on women in these instances, but yet there’s still some disgustingly enough).
Reading Time: 5 minutes The callers wanted to know how to end their pregnancies without going outside. Many were afraid to travel for fear of contracting the coronavirus, which spreads through contact with others. Some didn’t have the financial resources to make an arduous, often multi-day trip to an abortion clinic.

Reading Time: 4 minutes Men: With abortion becoming ever harder to access and no doubt with birth control soon to follow, you have to do better. A lot better. For starters, you need to volunteer as clinic defenders and patient escorts, as political-campaign workers and fund-raisers. Support pro-choice candidates. March and demonstrate—and not just once a year. Talk to other men about abortion and get active together. That dollar you earn compared with the average woman’s 80 cents? Put it to work by donating today to an abortion fund in one of the abortion-ban states. For example, the Gateway Women’s Access Fund helps people in Missouri, a state of over 6 million people with only one clinic and where a super-restrictive “heartbeat bill” was just passed. You can find the fund, along with many others, at abortionfunds.org.
