Has anyone thought of bringing up the fact that by denying someone who could die if they do not receive that abortion, about the fact that they would be denied a part of the bill of rights. Specifically the right to life. If this abortion would infringe on the fact that they would die without it and are being denied it because of other laws. The bill of rights trumps those laws technically and that person is being denied their right to life.
2023 was the first full-year without the protections of Roe. The effects have been devastating, and the attacks on reproductive rights have not stopped.
Voters have met each challenge and made their voices heard. Abortion access is undefeated at the ballot box. Abortion access is directly impacted by your vote, and it’s on the ballot again this year.
Honor the 51st anniversary of Roe by registering to vote at weall.vote/register, then ask 3 friends to do the same.
I could write a whole essay on the current fuckery. Everything is regressing versus moving forward. People thought Roe v Wade was untouchable, if they overturned that what else do you think they’ll overturn?
Also, since we are regressing. You’re not banning abortions, only banning safe ones.

Extra side note, wording is important- abortion for all people that possess a uterus. Thank you💕

This is concept art for a poster design for boycotting the 4th of July this year. 4th of July is cancelled this year.
I sketched this in response to Roe vs. Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court on June 24, 2022.
If you like this design, please feel free to take it and make it your own. You can make a digital version and/or any changes you'd like- I'm offering this poster design to everyone. You don't need to give me credit or ask for my permission first.
If you want to help spread the word about the 4th of July strike/boycott, please use this design if you think it can help. Also use hashtags like #4thofjulyboycott, #boycott4thofjuly, #4thofjulystrike, or #4thofjulycancelled.
The far-right U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe last year – a brutal blow against the rights of women and other people who can become pregnant, and against bodily autonomy for trans, nonbinary, gender nonconforming and intersex people.
Women In Struggle/Mujeres En Lucha is part of the fight to restore and expand access to abortion and all reproductive rights, including the right to raise healthy children with access to food, shelter, education and healthcare. We salute the work of the Louisiana Abortion Rights Action Committee and others organizing to restore abortion rights.
Today's another tough day, and on tough days, we fall back on community. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
We'll never stop fighting for our rights and sharing your important stories with the world. Read our response to the Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe V. Wade:
"We prepared for this moment. We hoped human decency would prevent it from happening, but we prepared, and it doesn’t make it any less maddening now that it’s happened. The overturning of Roe vs. Wade is a devastating blow to body autonomy and to basic human rights in the United States. Just as we felt when a draft of this opinion first leaked last month, we are angry and we are frustrated.
Across the country, we’ve already seen attacks on trans kids and the control they have over their bodies. All of these attacks are connected. Anti-choice policy will have an overwhelmingly negative impact on the most marginalized members of the LGBTQ+ community — people of color, immigrants, people with disabilities, people with limited financial resources, and people who lack access to proper healthcare will undoubtedly suffer the most.
We also know that this is the moment when LGBTQ+ people will rise and we will fight. Together and for each other. This is a scary and uncertain moment, without question. But it is also a moment when leaders will be born out of necessity. At the It Gets Better Project, we will continue offering a platform, a community, and resources to amplify those voices who are fighting for change.
As we said last month and repeat again here, we will fight to ensure the next generation has the authority and confidence to speak out against threats to their right to live freely and unapologetically. LGBTQ+ youth need our support now more than ever, and we will not stop fostering queer joy, resilience, and love.
Stay proud, speak loud, and never stop fighting for what’s right.
– It Gets Better Project"
