If you’re against abortion, don’t get one. If you’re against contraception, don’t take any. If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one. If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender. Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.

Wait, so gun control laws aren’t going to help prevent shootings but laws against abortion are supposed to stop abortions?

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.

The issue is money in politics. They’re allowing children to die because of the gun lobby. They’re allowing the planet to die because of Big Oil. They’re allowing people to go without healthcare and die because of the insurance lobby. Inaction is bought.

Texas. Where the Governor was more concerned about keeping masks out of schools than guns.

Democrats must act on abortion. We control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. It’s time for us to lead, and codify Roe. In the meantime, it’s important to communicate clearly that abortion is still legal.

End the filibuster. Codify #RoeVWade with a national law protecting abortion rights. Expand the Supreme Court. Stop this horrifying injustice in its tracks.

Don’t tell me to respect the constitution when I had to be an amendment… twice.

We’re horrified, saddened, and livid. If you are too, then now is the time to show up and show them our movement won't back down from protecting our reproductive rights. Tomorrow, at 5pm your local time, we’re rallying across America for abortion rights: act.womensmarch.com/sign/roe…
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes. politico.com/news/2022/05/02…

If #SCOTUS is going to legislate from the bench and turn back the clock 50 years on #RoeVWade, then the Senate needs to pass my Women’s Health Protection Act, and if we need to eliminate the filibuster to get it done, we should do that too. #WHPA

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

A reminder that the same lawmakers who say gun laws won't stop gun violence believe abortion laws will stop abortion. #RoeVWade

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

BREAKING: the 5th Circuit has cancelled the preliminary injunction hearing set for tomorrow on #SB8, Texas' bonkers 6 week abortion ban. (i hate saying BREAKING but this is a big deal and I'm going to explain it as best I can for a Sunday after two snow melts.)
Just in: The 5th Circuit has issued an order cancelling the federal preliminary injunction hearing set for tomorrow (Aug. 30) on #SB8, the near total abortion to go into effect on Sept 1 #txlege

To my disabled southerners experiencing snow for the first time: -if the ground looks wet but it’s cold out, that’s black ice, avoid it. -sometimes indoors is more dangerous than outdoors. Careful which floor cleaning products you use because of mixed with rock salt

ERCOT is the traffic manager of the electric grid which reports to the State. Neither the City nor the County controls or regulates ERCOT or the power generators. That is solely the responsibility of the State. st
