Lapointe: Abortion rights still enjoy Michigan momentum
Last year, abortion rights were torn from the U.S. Constitution by a right-wing Supreme Court packed with religious fundamentalists by former President Donald Trump.
Months later, however, Michigan progressives won a major battle against the extremists when they passed an amendment — Proposal 3 — to the state constitution to guarantee a woman’s right to choose.
But, this year, additional abortion rights in Michigan are threatened by those opposing the “Reproductive Health Act,” a package of 11 bills in the state legislature. These foes seek to maintain unnecessary regulations designed to discourage choice.
Nevertheless, on the national level, the Michigan momentum for abortion rights through voting is rippling through other states, including neighbors like Ohio and Wisconsin.

Indiana attorney general sues hospital over 10-year-old rape victim’s abortion
Todd Rokita claims Indiana University Health wrongly said doctor had not violated patient privacy laws in public comments
Indiana’s attorney general, Todd Rokita, is suing the largest hospital system in the state, alleging the mishandling of a case involving a 10-year-old rape victim who got an abortion through one of its doctors
#Republican #Indiana AG sues hospital over #abortion for 10-year-old #child who was #raped
The suit centers on Dr. Bernard publicly talking about, but not naming the patient in, the procedure she performed in late June 2022.
A stmnt provided by an #IU Health spox said the hospital system holds itself accountable every day for securing the #privacy of its patients.

Democrats Brace For The Biggest Abortion Supreme Court Case Since Dobbs
It’s very likely that the Supreme Court will take up a major mifepristone case this term after the Biden administration and a manufacturer of the drug asked the justices to hear it late last week.
The case infamously originated in Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk’s Amarillo courtroom, where he ruled to revoke the Food and Drug Administration’s authorization of mifepristone wholesale.

@Waterloo2 @panamared27401 "GOP" doesn't want to govern.
"GOP" wants to rule — like masters rule over slaves.
Abortion rights, civil rights, human rights, voting rights - they're denying & condemning everything Lincoln would've stood for. Why? Because they're Confedereds, simply just dressed as "Republicans", to regain & maintain congressional representation without ever sincerely having abandoned the racist & dictatorial ideology of their traitorous, rebellious & oppressive "master-race" ancestors.
As the insurrectionists they are they need to be treated with enforcement of #14thAmendmentSection3.
They've earned it!

@ZhiZhu What Confedered senator Tom Davis apparently meant to say:
“At some point in time, the right of the white state to see the unborn white child born does take precedent over the white woman’s right to her body.”
Now, as we all may know the former slaveholder states always had their militant issues with the Reconstruction Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Nonetheless, quite some time ago the then not FedSocuted Supreme Court of the United States held in its 7-2 ruling, that
"State criminal abortion laws... violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which protects against state action the right to privacy, including a woman's qualified right to terminate her pregnancy."
And neither SCOTUS nor single (or conspiring, insurrectionary) states can invalidate the Due Process Clause, the Fourteenth Amendment or the human right of women to bodily self-determination, for the racist sake of white "Volksgemeinschaft".

States geographically near ones that banned abortion after Roe v. Wade was overturned saw sharp increases in the number of procedures performed.
Axios reports on a new study: https://flip.it/Rb1jel
Enslaved women forced to reproduce
"African midwives, imported and enslaved as early as the 1600s, attended to the birthing needs of the enslaved and enslavers until the beginning of the 19th century.
But, after 1808, enslavers in the United States could no longer legally import enslaved people.
With this shift, enslavers stepped up the forced breeding of enslaved women. White men raped the Black women and girls they enslaved, and then enslaved the children born from those rapes.
White men also forced the Black women and Black men they enslaved to have sex with one another to generate more babies, who would be born into slavery.
This was a systemic way of ensuring enslaved women bore more children, which would increase profits for their enslavers.
Because the Black midwives and enslaved women often were blamed for or suspected of using birth control and abortions to resist forced pregnancy and the enslavement of their offspring, enslavers turned increasingly away from midwives and to white male doctors to figure out why nearly half of enslaved infants were stillborn or died within their first year of life and why so many enslaved women were infertile..."
#womensrights #abortionrights #blackmastodon #avortement #histodons
"This is not the first period in U.S. history when white men have exercised control over women’s right to bear – or not bear – children, including during slavery. Then, it was a matter of numbers...White men controlled people’s reproductive rights during the 20th century, too, with the American eugenics movement."

This is a warning about Meta and Threads.
Please boost this here and outside of Mastodon so that pregnant people in the United States are informed that using Meta/Threads is dangerous.
I'm unlikely to get pregnant but I have ZERO presence on Meta/Facebook/Instagram/Threads as a matter of principle.
