Ik begrijp heel goed waarom vrouwen de VS willen verlaten: geregeerd door conservatieve mannen die hun zelfbeschikking afpakken, een gewetenloze megalomane president en een sterke lobby van christenfanatici die hun rechten steeds verder afbreekt.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights.

Today in Labor History September 22, 1947: Norma McCorvey, American activist was born. She was the plaintiff in Roe v Wade, the Supreme Court ruling which legalized abortions in the U.S. She grew up in a poor, working-class family. At the age of ten, she robbed a gas station with a girlfriend and ran away to Oklahoma City, where they were arrested after a maid walked in on them and caught them kissing each other. She was declared a ward of the state and sent to a Catholic boarding school, and then State School for Girls in Gainesville, Texas from age 11 to 15. After that, she lived with her mother’s cousin, who repeated raped her. At 16, she married Woody McCorvey (age 23), but left him after he assaulted her, and not long after gave birth to her first child. After this, she developed a drug and alcohol problem. Her mother kidnapped her baby and reported Norma to the police for “abandoning” her baby. Later, she tricked Norma into signing adoption papers, giving her custody of the child. Later in her life, she became an Evangelical Christian, and then a Roman Catholic, and participated in the anti-abortion movement. However, before she died, she admitted that she had been paid to speak out against abortion. She had also accepted money to renounce her lesbian identity. This video clip is from the satirical film, Citizen Ruth, with Laura Dern portraying a McCorvey-like character.

A 30-year-old Black woman in Georgia has been kept on life support for three months against her family’s wishes because of the state’s “fetal heartbeat” anti-abortion law. Adriana Smith was declared legally dead in February after a medical emergency caused her brain function to cease. Smith, a nurse, had been initially turned away when she first sought medical care. She was nine weeks pregnant at the time. But because her medical providers would face legal consequences including jail time if they were to end the pregnancy, Smith’s body is still being kept on breathing machines despite the fact that Smith herself can no longer be resuscitated. The case demonstrates once again that “it is deadly to be Black and pregnant,” says Monica Simpson of the reproductive justice organization SisterSong.
A last-minute addition to President Trump’s “big, beautiful” budget bill seeks to ban Affordable Care Act healthcare plans from covering abortion, in addition to defunding hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics that provide reproductive healthcare throughout the United States. “Congress is literally walking us into a crisis of forced birth,” says Mini Timmaraju, president of the advocacy group Reproductive Freedom for All, which is launching a series of campaigns targeting key senators ahead of the Senate vote on the GOP-backed budget bill.
🤷🏻♂️ - Nachdem die Trump-Regierung vorgestern erklärt hat, dass Entscheidungen des #SCOTUS keine Rolle mehr spielen, sollten imho alle Ärzte in den republikanischen Bundesstaaten sich genau darauf beziehen und sofort wieder Abtreibungen durchführen...
