The Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,which overturned Roe v. Wade, upended women’s reproductive rights and led to confusion and fear about the status of abortion access across the country. Part of that chaos stemmed from “trigger laws” in 13 states, which had implemented legislation that was ready and waiting to limit or outright ban abortion once SCOTUS made the move to end the constitutional right to the procedure.
Now, a new study from Johns Hopkins University is shedding further light on the impact of that decision. The research, which was published on Tuesday, found that living in states with abortion trigger laws “was associated with a small but significantly greater increase in anxiety and depression symptoms” after SCOTUS’s decision when compared to living in states without trigger laws. This comes on the heels of another recent study that looked at how abortion restrictions are affecting ob-gyns, with 70% of them reporting symptoms of anxiety and depression as a result of Roe v. Wade being overturned and the abortion restrictions that followed in many states.

And for those saying “calm down” it’s just an opinion, in regards to roe v wade…
This is why we will NOT be calming down. “Trigger” laws will instantly and completely ban abortion in at least 13 states right now, if roe v wade is overturned. So save your sanctimonious “calm down” and shove it up your ass. I’m so done.
We will not go back. ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

A bad thing happened today--June 24, 2022
The US Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe v Wade.
What does that mean?
It means that women can no longer get a safe abortion in many states in the US, my state included.
Louisiana has a series of trigger laws that are taking effect immediately. "Trigger laws" are laws that are already written and passed, waiting for some "trigger" to activate them.
My state has some very scary laws against abortion. Laws which were written to take effect immediately after Roe v Wade is overturned.
I live in a state where abortion is not available. Right now. No abortions.
No abortions if the pregnancy is from rape or incest. No matter how young the pregnant person is.
If the pregnant person is in danger of dying, the doctors would have to prove (to the satisfaction of the prosecutor's office) that the pregnancy is non-viable before proceeding with an abortion.
Guess how often that's going to happen?
But wait, there's more.
I am gay. We are childfree. But this decision is still about to destroy my life.
My GF and I are both on medications that cause miscarriages in pregnant people.
Again, neither one of us intends to become pregnant.
But if doctors start being prosecuted (or sued) for prescribing drugs that *might* cause a miscarriage, then our doctors *might* not prescribe those medications anymore.
Our medications. The ones that keep us (mostly) comfortable and, you know, ALIVE.
This is not just possible. It's probable.
As for our medications, there is literally nothing else that we can take.
GF is on progesterone. Without it, every day is the elevator scene from "The Shining."
And me? There are no "safe" seizure medications for pregnant people. The medication that I'm on is safe FOR ME. Not for some theoretical fetus (that would be conceived through rape).
We can't leave the state. Louisiana runs on Napoleonic Code. Which means that GF and I cannot be considered common-law married and lose 1/3 of our SSI benefits. (Yes, this is a Thing that Can and Does Happen in the US.)
All of those lovely countries that are willing to open their borders to US asylum seekers are not going to open their arms to a mated pair of lesbians who are disabled and unemployed.
There is a lot of support for red-state folx seeking abortion. That's fantastic. More of that, yes, please!
But--
Please remember that there are many other problems that are unfolding around the Roe v Wade decision, and that it is likely to affect many people who are not pregnant and do not intend to become pregnant.
-- Stephanie
P.S. Justice Thomas saying that the court needs to overturn Obergefell v Hodges (gay marriage) and Lawrence v Texas (decriminalizing sodomy) in the middle of Pride is just the fecal icing on the crap cake, innit?

well Louisiana just passed HB813. criminalizing abortion and miscarriages as well as some forms of birth control. if you use in vitro fertilization and discard or freeze some of the eggs (common in IVF, as the process involves fertilizing several eggs at once), it's now homicide in the state of Louisiana. there are no protections for non-viable or life-threatening pregnancies
on top of all of this, louisiana has the highest maternal death rate, which is suffered primarily by WOC and more specifically black women.
im angry, sad, disappointed, and tired. i thought i would be able to write up a whole thing and i just can't find the words. i don't know what i can do, if there's even anything TO do.
abortion, miscarriage, and IVF are now acts of murder in louisiana.

I know this isn’t what I usually post, but a lot is going on right now, and I need to talk about it.
What’s going on in the US right now is honestly disgusting. I am terrified to be a person with a uterus right now, and now they’re going after my other rights as well? You’ve got to be kidding me. Now, same sex marriage and same sex relationships are up for discussion.
America isn’t safe for us any more if you’re lgbtq, BIPOC, or a woman, and the truth is that it hasn’t been for a while now.
I panicked enough about this back when it was leaked a month or so ago; now I am just angry. It’s land of the free, if you’re a rich, white, cis-het man, but for the rest of us there is no freedom.
I am tired. I am angry. And I am scared. I can’t even try to fight for my own rights because I’m a minor. There isn’t much I can do. I am terrified at the idea that something could happen and I would be forced to carry a child to term, regardless of my age, health, or circumstances. I live in a state where trigger laws went into affect, and abortion is completely illegal now. Illegal from the moment of conception, and there are no exceptions. You can’t even get care if you’ve had a miscarriage.
This is wrong; there’s no arguing about it. Even pro life people agree that it’s wrong. They are outlawing care for everything that has to do with reproductive health, including miscarriages. Next, they will be going for contraceptives, same sex marriage, and queer relationships, and don’t think it will stop there. This is outright dystopian.
Stay safe. Delete your menstrual cycle trackers, and be careful.
Expect more posts like this from me now on. There is a lot going on, and it needs to be talked about.

So-called trigger laws banning abortion in three states — Kentucky, Louisiana and South Dakota — will immediately go into effect now that the court has overruled Roe and left abortion regulations entirely up to the states.

Texas trigger laws
these are the key elements of the trigger law set to go into effect in texas.
It will outlaw abortions in Texas unless the mother's life is in danger.
It will take make performing an abortion in Texas a felony crime.
Doctors who perform abortions could face life in prison and fines up to $100,000.
It DOES NOT have an acception  for rape and incest. 
WHAT THE FUCK. THIS SHIT IS SICK.
I’m so very, deeply scared, but the majority of my on going reblogs for this topic will focus on spreading resources to those who need them.
We’re all scared, we already know that. 
So please, stay safe, stay informed, and try to protect your rights.

What Employers Need to Know in a Post-Dobbs Landscape
What Employers Need to Know in a Post-Dobbs Landscape
On June 24, 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the United States Supreme Court overturned both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey and held the access to abortion is not a right protected by the United States Constitution. This article analyzes several employment law issues employers may face following the Dobbs decision.
