And @propublica says this piece about Tennessee’s draconian abortion ban is their “most-read story of 2024”: projects.propublica.org/the-year-aft... #ForcedBirthState
The Year After a Denied Abortion

Tennessee law prohibits women from having abortions in nearly all circumstances. But once the babies are here, the state provides little help. We followed one family as they struggled to make it.

ProPublica
AP: “Tennessee has a porous safety net for mothers & young children… she faces greater obstacles to a healthy pregnancy, a healthy child and a financially stable family than the average American mom…” Not “pro life”. #ForcedBirthState apnews.com/article/abor...

We’ve heard from numerous doctors that this is happening in Tennessee also. #ForcedBirthState www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Just let this guy keep talking and maybe Trump could hire him as a spokesperson for his campaign. The Biden campaign might even chip in for some of his salary if Republicans think this sort of crap is a winning message for November.

MAGA Daily Wire Host Calls IVF 'Immoral' And Likens It To Rape

The Alabama IVF ruling is about who gets to be a parent in America. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/02/alabama-ivf-who-gets-to-parent.html?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=traffic&utm_source=article&utm_content=web_share #ForcedBirthState #handmaidstaleisbecomingreal This is the two-step wherein the state forces women to have babies they cannot raise, does nothing to help support them, then swoops in to seize the babies when their parents are seen as endangering them—which predominantly hurts poor & women of color. The state also ensures that adoptions flow in the direction of “worthy” heterosexual & Christian parents
The IVF Ruling Is About Who Gets to Raise Your Children

Yes, it’s a continuation of Dobbs. But it’s also something more sinister.
