Until abortion access is fully legal, Digital Surveillance poses a significant threat. We’ve gotten better at answering questions about how to keep each other safe. Here’s what we’ve learned

The Alabama Attorney General’s Office is using the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to strike down Roe v. Wade to defend a ban on medical treatments considered life-saving by transgender individuals and physicians.

In a 76-page brief filed with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday, the state invoked or referenced the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization at least nine times, invoking Justice Samuel Alito’s majority opinion that said the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution does not protect any right “not deeply rooted in the nation’s history and traditions.”

“The Legislature determined that transitioning treatments in particular are too risky to authorize, so it is those treatments Plaintiffs must show the Constitution protects,” the brief says. “But no one — adult or child — has a right to transitioning treatments that is deeply rooted in our nation’s history and tradition. The State can thus regulate or prohibit those interventions for children, even if an adult wants the drugs for his child.”

And:

“Because no adult or child has a fundamental right to transitioning treatments, it necessarily follows that no parent has a right to those treatments for his child.”

Are you tired of anti-choice people telling you that your views on abortion have no historical/religious support?

Me too.

So I wrote a book proving them wrong.

"An exploration of the history of contraception and abortion in witchcraft and paganism.

This celebration of the history and spirituality of reproductive freedom combines thorough research, reflection, and magical practice with an easy-to-understand writing style. Learn about birth control in the ancient world, which gods and goddesses were historically called on to prevent pregnancy, how to cast a spell to find an abortion provider, and more!

Written with an intersectional, trans-inclusive approach, Sacred Choice acknowledges the nuance of reproductive justice and the ways abortion and contraception access is affected by race, gender, ability, and social class."

Release Date: September 22nd, 2022 (Fall Equinox!)

After last summer's Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization allowed states to ban abortion, urologists across the United States saw a dramatic surge in the demand for vasectomies.

Normally, vasectomy procedures peak towards the end of the year, but the mid-year Court decision led to an unexpected increase in demand in 46 states.

The greatest increases in patients undergoing this elective procedure were in states that implemented "trigger bans" severely limiting abortion access. These states experienced an average increase of 41% in vasectomy rates between July and September, compared to 26% in other states. States such as Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah saw rates rise by more than 40%.

The post-Dobbs patients opting for vasectomies tended to be younger than the typical candidates. Data from Komodo revealed a small but consistent drop in the average age of patients undergoing vasectomies in the latter half of 2022.

Motivations behind this trend varied among patients. Some men expressed concerns about the lack of a reliable backup if their primary contraception method failed in the absence of abortion access, as vasectomy has a success rate of over 99%. Others were motivated by the fear that vasectomy itself could be outlawed next. Among this younger demographic of patients seeking to take control of their reproductive responsibilities were men who saw their decision as an act of solidarity with women.

Due to longstanding patriarchal constructs, vasectomy is viewed as a sacrifice for many men, involving recovery time and potential risks, along with misconceptions and concerns about its impact on masculinity. In reality, recovery time for this simple 30-minute outpatient procedure is 2-3 days, and there is no clinical evidence to support the notion that a vasectomy leads to a decreased sense of masculinity. The procedure does not have any direct physiological or hormonal effects on masculinity, sexual function, or masculinity-related characteristics.

In fact, by opting for vasectomy, men share the responsibility of contraception and alleviate the burden on women. By doing so, these men further embody the traditionally masculine traits of responsibility, self-reliance, decisiveness, and courage through taking an active role in family planning.

While the overturning of Roe v Wade has decimated women's rights in America, the increase in vasectomies following the ruling may be seen as a small consolation, a small step toward the long aggrieved concept of gender equity. As more men take proactive measures to dismantle the patriarchal idea that both conception and contraception are solely "women's issues," they act as leaders showing others the intrinsic value in the dignity and selflessness of their decision.

While our nation's leaders continue to restrict the rights afforded to pregnancy carriers, we are fortunate to have a younger generation of the impregnator class recognizing the devastating, often deadly effects of these laws and mastering the art of doing something about it.

🇺🇸 It’s time to start voting in the 2022 midterms! 🌊

In some states, the midterm elections are already underway! 2022 is a hugely important election year.

Abortion is on the ballot. Joe Biden just promised to codify Roe v. Wade in January 2023 - but he can only do that if there’s a progressive Democratic House and Senate.

Local and state races are also more important than ever. Election deniers are on the ballot, and you can guarantee that plenty of Republicans are going to show up and vote for them. If we don’t show up too, our democracy is at risk in 2024 and beyond.

LGBTQ+ rights (especially transgender rights), education, gun control, immigration policy, climate change, and more are also on the ballot.

Republicans know that voting works. That’s why they try so hard to stop us from doing it.

They will show up to vote… so let’s make sure we show up too!

It's pretty weird for a Supreme Court justice to give such an overtly political speech, but I guess we're not pretending the court is legitimate anymore.

We Are Here For You

I know a lot of you are worried, sad, and angry about what has just happened in American politics. 

Maybe you yourself are in a bad place, and would face great hardship if you were to get pregnant right now. Maybe you fear the same for a friend, or a group of people you love, now that abortion is no longer a (legal) option in some states. But please know that whatever your situation, there is still hope. Planned Parenthood clinics will still be open to offer free/low-cost birth control, including long-acting implants and IUDs,* as well as other services.  Even more importantly, many private charities and/or public programs in all states are hard at work addressing the tragedies like poverty, healthcare disparities, abuse, and assault that can make pregnancy so trying in the first place. Regardless of the legal status of abortion, they will stay open to serve those in need.

My friend has compiled a list of resources here. In addition, if you are in a crisis situation--pregnancy-related or not, in the U.S. or elsewhere, in a red or blue state--please reach out to me, and I can listen to you and help connect you with the support you need. You can DM me on Tumblr, and I am also on Discord at chromanebula#9540. 

We are here for you. Now and always.

*(Just please be aware that if you have an IUD and know/suspect that you’re pregnant anyway, there’s a significant risk it is ectopic--especially if you have any of these warning signs--and you will need emergency medical treatment. Regular abortion procedures WILL NOT suffice, and may even make it worse.)

Everyone knew Roe was bad case law...EVERYONE. Liberals even opposed the nomination of Justice Ginsburg bc she told the truth about Roe. America is a Republic. The Supremes are NOT kings, they must uphold law NOT write or re-write it. Please read our Declaration of Independence. Please read our Constitution. Please respect our rule of law. America is a big beautiful country with different states.
