The Abortion Resource Map and Personal Abortion Safety Plan, designed by @Lizar_tistry and based on Handbook for a Post-Roe America by Robin Marty

In light of today’s news that the radicalized Supreme Court has overturned Roe vs. Wade, a decision with immeasurable consequences for all Americans (in particular, women of color living in states with Republican governors), it would be inappropriate to do anything with my platform, however small, other than amplify women’s voices and highlight resources for navigating our Post-Roe future.

I keep seeing today referred to as a “sad day” by political commentators. It is that, to be sure, but women all over this country are more than sad. They are terrified. They are furious. Some are hopeful, while many more feel defeated. For them I yield the floor:

1) The Supreme Court's decision on Dobbs, which overturns the national right to abortion under Roe, is about far more than just abortion. A thread on some stories from @WIRED @WIREDScience, starting with today's profound piece by @marynmck
Roe Stood for 49 Years. It Revolutionized Life for WomenThe national right to abortion pushed back the age of childbearing, increased college and workforce participation, and created economically stable families.wired.com

Legally, this will take a few days to shake out in Louisiana, abortion rights lawyers have told me. But clinics have closed. Hundreds of appointments canceled. Surrounding states also have trigger laws, and those that don’t will be overbooked. This affects women in every state.

The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is abortion. The treatment for a septic uterus is abortion. The treatment for a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

This is what it actually means to criminalize abortion. I am not sure America is prepared for the level of invasive policing that women are about to endure.

Jon Swaine @jonswaine

Justice Thomas: "[W]e should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell." https://t.co/CvWypeIYi5
