A Bay Area OB-GYN is organizing an effort to bring abortion services and reproductive healthcare to several southern states bordering the Gulf of Mexico via a ship sailing on federal waters.
Dr. Meg Autry, who also works as a professor at UCSF, had already been working to bring this effort to life. But when Roe v. Wade was overturned, Autry said their plans were accelerated.
As first reported by KCBS, this plan called Protecting Reproductive Rights of Women Endangered by State Statutes (PRROWESS) aims to bring reproductive healthcare to states where abortions are banned, limited, or hard to access.
In an interview with NBC Bay Area, Autry noted that people living in southern parts of states with restrictive abortion rules like Texas and Louisiana, are actually closer to the coast than to nearby states with more abortion access. Additionally, it is less expensive to board a boat than buying a plane ticket to another state.
Autry has performed abortions for decades and refers to herself as "a lifelong educator, a lifelong career abortion advocate."
"It is my life’s work," she said.
"Part of the reason we’re working on this project so hard is because wealthy people in our country are always going to have access [to abortions], so once again it’s a time now where poor, people of color, marginalized individuals, are gonna suffer --and by suffering I mean like lives lost," Autry said.
She explained that this ship will operate on federal waters — nine miles from the coast of Texas and three from the coast of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi — where it can evade those states' abortion restrictions. PRROWESS will arrange for patients to be transported to the ship, which will vary depending on where they are coming from, once they pass a pre-screening process.
Autry and a team of licensed medical professionals will offer surgical abortions for up to 14 weeks of pregnancy. The PRROWESS team would also offer other point-of-care gynecological services such as testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
"The project is being funded with philanthropy and the patients care is on a needs basis, so most individuals will pay little to nothing for services," Autry said.
Stacy Cross, president of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, which offers services in California and Nevada, said it's not surprising that health care providers are teaming up to offer services on the seas.
Cross explained that the abortion service provider community has been preparing for the possibility of a post-Roe world for some time now and that, "over the years we’ve talked about things like boats on federal waters out past the 5-mile line."
"It's just it’s a testament to the time we’re in, because its really horrific that we’re having to think of these things in the United States of America, how to keep people safe," Cross said.
Several California Planned Parenthood chapters told NBC Bay Area that demand from out-of-state patients at California clinics has actually been up for months already due to policies in other states.
“I think people are going to be as creative as possible, the people who have the funds are getting on planes and flying, we’re seeing other people drive here,” Cross said.
Autry's organization is still raising money to secure a ship and retrofit it for medical use. Once that happens, she says they'll put the captain, crew and medical team aboard and set sail.
Autry and her team maintain the process is legal in federal waters. Still, they expect legal challenges from those states every step of the way. The PRROWESS team has already tapped multiple lawyers to help them as they continue with this voyage.

This Is San Francisco - January 11, 1950 - Past Daily Evening Gallimaufry
Asking for a friend: Become a Patron! https://pastdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/this-is-san-francisco-jan-11-1950.mp3 – KCBS- This Is San Francisco – Jan. 11, 1950 – The thing about history is that it’s not always about the sweeping gestures and defining moments over a period of time.

What Is The “Hot Hold”?
In competition BBQ, a “hot hold” refers to a process of keeping cooked meat at a high temperature for a certain period of time before it is presented to judges for tasting. This process is used to ensure that the meat remains hot and fresh while also allowing it to rest and absorb its juices, which can enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat. During a hot hold, the cooked meat is typically…

Is there a music analysis of Wreck-It Ralph anywhere? (I'm sure there is) Cuz I've been listening to the soundtrack and ... EHEHHEHEH.. I love musical character motifs

Folks have been stumbling across my old Wreck-it Ralph design studies from 2012, and while I’m cringing only a little at my art from back then, I’m glad they’re still enjoyable and helpful to some.

Kenneth C. Balcomb (1940-2022)
Tumblr media
With profound sadness, the Center for Whale Research announces the passing of our beloved founder and longtime leader Kenneth C. Balcomb.
Ken’s family and loved ones surrounded him in his final hours on December 15, 2022. He was 82 years old.
Ken was a pioneer and legend in the whale world. But more importantly, he was the North Star, a guiding light. Over half a century of whale research and advocacy, he lit a path for tens of thousands to follow. He was a scientist with a deep-rooted love and connection to the whales and their ocean habitat. He inspired others to appreciate both as much as he did.
Ken spent much of his career detailing and documenting the lives of the Southern Resident Orca population in the Pacific Northwest’s Salish Sea. His groundbreaking Orca Survey study determined that the Resident orcas needed more food abundance in a healthy habitat to survive. He continually heralded his message to the world: “No fish, No Blackfish.” [No Chinook salmon, No Southern Resident orcas].
The Center for Whale Research’s Southern Residents orca research began in 1976; it is the longest study of this population. Ken’s goal was always for CWR’s research to continue for 150 years, provided there were whales to study. All of us at CWR share Ken’s vision and mission to preserve and protect the magnificent Southern Resident killer whales. He often said about the critically endangered Southern Residents: “I’m not going to count them to zero, at least not quietly.” The CWR board of directors and staff are dedicated to continuing Ken Balcomb’s life’s work.
Thank you, Ken. We will carry you in our hearts forever.

---v Snini’s words v---
I never got to meet Ken in person, but I did have the privilege of hearing him give a presentation during an online webinar. I remember that when he switched tabs, there was a document on in the background (I believe it was a report from NOAA) that he had written a note over saying, “Can we get a word count on this?” and during that presentation, he had expressed his frustration on the lack of salmon recovery being done by the government, saying something along the lines of, “Whales can’t eat words and if they put one salmon in the river for each word they typed, there wouldn’t be a salmon issue.” I know he, like Michael Bigg does, will continue to inspire others to continue his work. I wish I could have met him, but he will continue to be the reason I aspire to do research. I hope he rests easy and my heart goes out for his family and the Center for Whale Research.

Galerija Artget, Trg Republike 5
Subota, 25. februar od 13.00
Prateći program izložbe „Leskovački gotik. Rajski vrt” Jovane Dimitrijević:
VOĐENJE KROZ IZLOŽBU I RAZGOVOR SA
JOVANOM DIMITRIJEVIĆ, autorkom i
SRĐANOM VELJOVIĆEM, umetničkim direktorom Galerije Artget za 2023. godinu
„Fotografije Jovane Dimitrijević tematski su vezane za sredinu u kojoj deluje, a po pristupu mediju izrazito su subjektivne; svoju istinitost grade u rascepu između dokumentarnog i imaginativnog/aktivističkog koje je sprovedeno u/nad sredinom u kojoj deluje.”
Srđan Veljović
„Našim teritorijama promakle su dve velike kulturne epohe, renesansa i barok, u zapadnoevropskom smislu. Leskovac, odakle dolazim, spada u ’pusto tursko’ što karakteriše nesrećnu sudbinu mesta kojeg su pred svaki kulturni procvat zadesili destruktivni istorijski prevrati i svaku šansu za kulturni napredak uništili.
U skorijoj istoriji, na primer, između dva svetska rata, Leskovac je bio poznat po tekstilnoj industriji i kulturi življenja u uslovima nakon oslobođenja od Turaka, ali je savezničkim bombarodvanjem u Drugom svetskom ratu on sravnjen sa zemljom. U posleratnom periodu cvetala je razvijena farmaceutska, te i tekstilna industrija, ali su sankcije devedesetih, potom tranzicija i privatizacija uništile lokalnu industriju grada. Ni kulturni život po kom je Leskovac ranije bio poznat više ne postoji, ljudi su se povukli u svoje domove gde neguju mir i uspomene na prošlost.
Jedan od stalnih motiva na mojim fotografijama su privatne bašte, ti rajski vrtovi sa puno cveća, posebno ruža, koje podsećaju na gotske i rano renesansne slike rajskog vrta. Volim da virim u tuđa dvorišta i kad idem ulicom ne gledam izloge, već dvorišta, uvek na ivici invazije privatnosti.”
Jovana Dimitrijević
••
Izložbu „Leskovački gotik. Rajski vrt” Jovane Dimitrijević možete obići do 5. marta od ponedeljka do subote 12-20 sati.
Ulaz slobodan.
