#GOPDeathCult in Texas: Leaders like Gov Abbott & TX legislators caused this *largely PREVENTABLE carnage:
TX’s abortion restrictions may be fueling a sudden spike in infant mortality as women are forced to carry nonviable pregnancies to term. 2,200 infants died in TX in 2022, an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic & birth defects rose by 21.6%🚨 -the spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. #AbortionIsHC https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/20/health/texas-abortion-ban-infant-mortality-invs/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_content=2023-07-20T11%3A00%3A14&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twCNN

They're coming for YOU: America’s civil rights progress is taking in a lot of water at the moment. It will continue to do so as long as anti-Blackness remains a part of this country’s DNA. The White men in charge of this country can and will come for White women, too. They’ve already begun with the fall of R v W. Hope y’all are learning to swim, bc you’re making it hard for the rest of us to come save y’all-. #EqualRights #CorruptSC #AbortionIsHC #RepublicanRacism https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/06/30/affirmative-action-supreme-court-white-women/

Will women secure wins for Dems nationwide? They hate #DeathSantis (with good reason): 63% of women disapprove of him, a potentially bad sign for his presidential run. 27% approve of him. DeSantis is above water with Republican women, with 67% approval against 17% disapproval. But every other group of women voters is negative on him, with 60% of female INDEP voters & 93% of Dem women against him. No matter their age, female voters are likely to be negative-. #AbortionIsHC https://floridapolitics.com/archives/620830-ron-63-women/

We need more women (& men) who'll run for office & support #ReproductiveRights. #ProChoice #AbortionIsHC These 1,572 US politicians have helped ban abortion since Roe fell. They’re mostly men.

A crisis for pregnant people: access to care, poor care, deaths🚨...: The striking responses come as the number of Americans who die while giving birth -or in the weeks after —has been on the rise since 2018, from 658 that year to 1,205 in 2021. The responses were even grimmer regarding the already stark racial & ethnic inequities in maternal health care: 70% of OBGYNs said Dobbs has widened that gap. #ProChoice #AbortionIsHC https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/06/21/obgyn-abortion-poll/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wp_main

@HeyItsMeWithAnApostrophe Thanks, I edited it, & added: #AbortionIsHC

💙states are crafting a new kind of leg. to respond to a wave of restrictions on abortion access & gender-affirming care across the US. Lawmakers in IL/NM/CO/WA/VE +DC have enacted such “shield” laws this yr. CT & MA: 1st states to pass this type of “shield” bill -still evolving as more states, like OR & CA introduce their own bills. Unifying theme: aim to legally protect patients’ ability to receive care in their state & protect both providers & patients-. #AbortionIsHC https://19thnews.org/2023/06/abortion-trans-health-care-shield-laws/
