Cooler weather is slowly starting to move in, but that hasn’t stopped folks across the country from being out in the streets and fighting for their right to abortions. AAF Programs Manager Kristin spent the weekend clinic escorting, tabling with her abortion fund at a Bans Off Ohio rally, and gathering signatures for our petition to help keep Mifepristone on the market! Basically, it was just abortion abortion abortion all weekend and we couldn’t love it more.
WISCONSIN IS BACK ON THEIR BEST BULLSHIT After a Dane County Circuit judge ruled in July that the state’s 1849 abortion ban applies to feticide and NOT abortion, Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin recently started their abortion services back up! Naturally, when faced with being a loser- uh, we mean when faced with that loss, Pro-Life Wisconsin’s state director decided to file medical license complaints against abortion-supportive doctors in the state…including one who isn’t even practicing there anymore. Obviously, this whole thing is a giant nothingburger, which is fitting, because so is Pro-Life Wisconsin.
TEXAS: TF DID WE JUST READ?! Remember when we told you about the asshole who is suing his ex-wife’s friends for allegedly helping her obtain an abortion? If you can fathom it, he is an even bigger piece of shit than we knew- this absolute waste of a man offered to drop his lawsuit if his ex-wife had sex with him…THEN WENT BACK ON THE DEAL. Oh but wait- he THEN threatened to send intimate videos of his ex-wife to her family and workplace…UNLESS SHE DID HIS LAUNDRY! We can only hope the courts rightly toss the whole damn man lawsuit out, and that this man is publicly shamed by every single woman he crosses paths with in perpetuity. We have a few more creative punishments in mind- ask us off the record…
We have to keep fighting back against these bullshit bills and opportunistic frauds- click the button below to find ways to jump in the fight!
