The TLDR here is that in Missouri, republicans are going to try and use divisive language hoping they can sway Missouri voters to vote in favor or abortion right restrictions. Ultimately in a push to enshrine it into the state constitution being the ultimate goal. I would not be surprised if they try to use confusing language to push this agenda once it hits the ballot.

Something for folks to be aware of and the spread the word about.

The heads of the #US #Army, #Navy and #AirForce jointly wrote an Op-Ed in *The Washington Post,* calling on Senator #Tuberville to stop his hold on military promotions that has been ongoing for months as part of a #military #abortion policy protest. According to them, Tuberville's hold has negatively impacted military readiness.

To Make a Documentary About Abortion, They Had to Fight the Right’s War on Information

The experience was not unlike the obstacles abortion providers face.

In 2019, when Tracy Droz Tragos started filming Plan C, her new documentary about a network of activists and medical providers helping Americans access abortion pills—which are approved by the FDA but restricted in some states—she knew some people might see it as a touchy subject.

After voters in Ohio passed a Constitutional Amendment legalizing abortion by landslide, senate President Matt Huffman shows his respect for constitutional governance and the voters of his state by proposing a 15 week abortion ban.

Because nothing says, "Don't Tread on Me", quite like violating the plain text of your state constitution against the wishes of the electorate.

Ohioans approved a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights and Republicans in the state legislature released a statement calling it "ambiguous" and vowing to find ways to stop it from taking effect. One particularly unhinged legislator called it "dangerously vague and unconstrained".

This made me interested in the actual text of the amendment, which unsurprisingly turns out to be unambiguous and very, very precise. It's an incredibly well-written piece of legislation and I thought I'd share it here.

----------

Article I, Section 22. The Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety

A. Every individual has a right to make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions, including but not limited to decisions on: contraception; fertility treatment; continuing one’s own pregnancy; miscarriage care; and abortion.

B. The State shall not, directly or indirectly, burden, penalize, prohibit, interfere with, or discriminate against either: An individual's voluntary exercise of this right or; A person or entity that assists an individual exercising this right, unless the State demonstrates that it is using the least restrictive means to advance the individual's health in accordance with widely accepted and evidence-based standards of care.

However, abortion may be prohibited after fetal viability. But in no case may such an abortion be prohibited if in the professional judgment of the pregnant patient’s treating physician it is necessary to protect the pregnant patient’s life or health.

C. As used in this Section: “Fetal viability” means “the point in a pregnancy when, in the professional judgment of the pregnant patient's treating physician, the fetus has a significant likelihood of survival outside the uterus with reasonable measures. This is determined on a case-by-case basis.”

“State” includes any governmental entity and any political subdivision.

D. This Section is self-executing.

And back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, I was one of the people who was hopeful that the #internet could be different. Perhaps I too optimistically generalized my own internet use to the world. When I was a teen, I used my family's painfully slow dial-up to learn about things that no one else in my conservative Christian community would talk about, like #AbortionRights and #LGBTQRights. I used the internet to expand my perspectives, and I thought everyone else would too!

Unfortunately, I was wrong, but for a while, that felt possible. There was a sort of #feminist resurgence in the late 2000s and early 2010s that online spaces like #Jezebel were part of, and they made #feminism cool. They were full of women writing in a style that pulled no punches and that could be as explicit and sarcastic as writers who were men often were. In retrospect, it was often shallow, but to me leaving conservative Christianity, it felt liberatory!

In the most recent episode of HBO's #LastWeekTonight with #JohnOliver", he made a mention of a particular publicity stunt by a certain satanic for-profit business-cum-church.

In so doing, he demonstrated perfectly the way #TheSatanicTemple's grift works, and the limitations of "Last Week Tonight" as an actual news program rather than what it is: a popularizer and disseminator of the work done by others.

If the show had done a proper investigation, they would have immediately found huge red flags involving the Temple's clinic that call into question its legitimacy entirely. Since they did not, we'll show you what so many have missed despite being out in the open.

First, we're going to show how at its most basic and fundamental level, the The #SatanicTemple's clinic is vulnerable to any legal challenge or government investigation due to its use of false information in its corporate registration as TST owners #DougMisicko and #CevinSoling continue to inappropriately use pseudonyms on legal documents.

Next, we're going to look at the way the clinic fits into #TST's pattern of claiming it can help people in states with abortion restrictions and bans despite never being able to deliver on that promise, a false claim the Temple literally advertises and profits off of.

Finally, we're going to talk about how the Temple's use of a corporation that has tax-exempt church approval and unwillingness to be financially transparent makes it impossible to keep track of exactly how much money is involved, especially since every role of corporate governance is filled by the same two men, Soling and Misicko, and their pseudonyms.

The Supreme Court dismantled Roe. States are restoring it one by one.

When the right to abortion is on the ballot, it wins. It wins in red states that voted for President Donald Trump. It wins in counties President Joe Biden lost by more than 20 points. It wins when popular Republican officials campaign for it and when they ignore it. And it wins even when the outcome has no immediate effect on abortion access.

Of course, the #covid denialism has cracks. Sadly, more people are becoming disabled by #LongCovid. More people are dying. #Healthcare workers are burned out.

And beyond #covid19, attacks on #BodilyAutonomy continue. The US lost our one national #AbortionRights protection, paltry as it was, in #RoeVWade. Racist police violence continues. #Eugenics and #genocide continue. #ClimateChange continues.

People are fighting back. #Unions are fighting back and seeing major wins! #ReproductiveRights won in the #USElections last night! Protests across the US calling for a #Ceasefire in Gaza are only gaining momentum and putting pressure on politicians. There is still hope for a better world!

But we need ways to unify these issues and foster greater #solidarity. We need ways to articulate a compelling vision for a better world. We need to not leave behind those who continue to take #covid precautions. I think #BodilyAutonomy is the way forward for that unity and a way to articulate that vision.

I think #BodilyAutonomy needs to be a key organizing principle for the #left. It ties together so many issues that seem unrelated: #AbortionRights, #ZeroCovid, #WorkersRights, and #EnvironmentalJustice.

My body should be mine to control, whether that's refusing an unwanted pregnancy, #covid19 infection, working conditions that harm my mental and physical health, or a planet polluted with toxins becoming unliveable due to extreme heat.

There are more issues beyond these that don't impact me directly because of my cis and white privilege, such as #TransRights and #RacialJustice, but I recognize that my fight for bodily autonomy is bound up with these fights. Through the lens of bodily autonomy, there's a lot of opportunities for building #solidarity. Everyone should have bodily autonomy as a #HumanRight.

"Simulated patient" survey

In the study, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Oklahoma Call for Reproductive Justice and Physicians for Human Rights surveyed 34 hospitals around the state. Researchers found that most hospitals could not provide any information about their policies or procedures or explain what support would be provided to doctors who determine that an abortion is necessary to save a patient's life.

To conduct the research, several young women called 34 hospitals in the state with a script, saying they were pregnant for the first time, trying to decide which Oklahoma hospital to go to for care, and wanting to understand the hospital's policies and processes for providing abortions if pregnancy complications arose. "It's called the 'secret shopper' methodology – we called it a 'simulated patient' methodology," says Dr. Michele Heisler, professor at the University of Michigan and medical director of Physicians for Human Rights, who is one of the study's authors.

"What we hadn't anticipated is what we found – the confusion, the contradictory statements, the misinformation," Heisler says. "Three of the 34 hospitals said they'd just never provide abortions," for example, even though there are exceptions written into the laws. Four hospitals said doctors needed to go through an approval process to be able to provide a medically necessary abortion, and 14 hospitals provided unclear answers about whether there was such an approval process.
