Learn from us. I’m in Texas and it is really horrifying. Do not let them get a foothold or they will trample your basic freedoms. Now that they had “defeated” legal abortion, they are coming for contraception, just as many of us predicted they would.

People are dying.

Canada is paying the price for not paying attention. Watch out Britain.

They already did Brexit. Fake right wing populism has already taken root. Abortion hysteria is just a DLC.

Can the US just leave the rest of the world the fuck alone?

No surprises here. A lot of the people leading the anti-trans organizations and movements in the UK and abroad had (quite surprisingly /s) really regressive views in plenty of other issues. Now that they’ve fed the beast and they’re present in political discussions all over the country, it’s only natural that they grow more ambitious.

Im not sure “gaining traction” is the right way of phrasing it, given that thisbis happening in the context of a law change being debated that increases abortion rights. No matter how much the fundamentalists from across the pond donate there just isnt the very religious constituency here to be receptive to that message.

It’s there no way we can popularise really-late-term abortions for the people promoting this bullshit? Is 60 years really too late for the mothers of these ultra-national/conservative fuckwads to change their minds?
