Hi john,

Happy Galentine’s Day, friends- one of our most favorite completely made-up holidays! We may not be able to take you out for a boozy brunch or cross stitch your face onto a pillow, but you CAN join us in spending those Galentines dollars on a clinic looking to rebuild after being attacked by an anti-abortion extremist! Affirmative Care Solutions, one of the few indie abortion clinics in the states owned and operated by women of color with 25 years of experience, needs some help in opening their doors and continuing their legacy of exceptional reproductive healthcare- pitch in to their GoFundMe here and spread that Galentine’s love!!

FOOL US ONCE, SHAME ON YOU; FOOL US 3 TIMES, SHAME ON SCOTUS
Hold up, wait a got damn second here. Are you telling us that not only were three studies retracted (studies that were central in the SCOTUS case being heard in March that will determine if the abortion drug Mifepristone will still be widely used) because of fundamental study problems, but that they were funded by anti-abortion groups?! Wow, it’s almost like…they had to lie and cheat their way to SCOTUS because Mifepristone is actually safe to use?! Whoudda think it.

OKLAHOMA: DEEVERS WANTS TO LEGISLATE YOUR BEDROOM
In news that we’ve been screaming would happen for ages, freshman Oklahoma Senator Deevers’ dusty ass filed a bill that would charge abortion abortion seekers with murder AND ban contraception! Hell, the man doesn’t even want you to be able to legally send a nude to your partner outside of marriage! Apparently Deevers is going for the ‘freshman 15’ pounds of flesh.

As soon as you’re done sexting your partner to spite Dusty, click the button below to find an event on our Activist Calendar and get out there to make a difference!
