Hi John,

We’ve officially entered Abortion Provider Appreciation Week, a poignant example of something beautiful that grew out of an act of hate. On March 10th,1993, abortion provider Dr. David Gunn was murdered by a white supremacist anti-abortion extremist entering his clinic in Pensacola, Florida. To honor his memory and the work of all abortion providers, March 10th became the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers.

Of course, abortion folks are extra AF and y’all know we expanded it into an entire Abortion Provider Appreciation Week! I mean, sure, we love providers every single day, but this entire week from March 6th to March 10th to rope the rest of y’all into the love fest? Sign us up! Our friends over at Abortion Care Network have put together a delectable menu of ways everyone can support independent abortion providers that is guaranteed to satisfy even the most voracious hunger to put some good out into the abortion world! We give it the AAF Chef’s Kiss Seal of Approval.

You know what DOESN’T get our Chef’s Kiss Seal of Approval, though? The fact that Texas doctors feel they have to literally SPEAK IN CODE to pregnant patients in their care when talking about abortion! This is all part of the anti-abortion agenda, of course- create so much confusion on what is and isn’t allowed, that the landscape becomes even more unnecessarily restrictive. Nothing says “we trust the medical community” than not allowing them to do their job. Great job, Texas!

We’re really feeling Maya Angelou’s quote this week, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” In this case, it’s a fake clinic fighting for the right to retaliate against employees for getting abortions or making other reproductive health decisions! Wait a got damn second- I thought fake clinics don’t judge and love everyone?! Are you telling us that’s been a lie the entire time…

And just like lying is the main business of fake clinics, doing is ours! Check out our Activist Calendar to find pro-abortion events and get in the fight!
