JUST IN: Republican and former governor of New Jersey, Christine Todd Whitman, has OFFICIALLY endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the White House.
This is amazing.
When Christine Todd Whitman, a Republican, endorses Kamala Harris, you know Trump’s approval ratings are so low, they’re almost as low as his moral standards.
You know things are bad for Trump when even his own party members are saying, 'We'd rather go green than Orange’
Trump must be thinking, 'First Mike Pence, now this? What’s next, Ivanka for Bernie?'

Harris/Walz will give fourth graders free lunches, while Trump/Vance will force them to give birth. — It’s as simple as that.

I'll just say this. Back when we were shlepping to Hill offices to share our later abortion story and ask for support against viability bans, there was one single Senate office that had an actual reproductive rights lawyer on staff. And that Senator was Kamala Harris.

No president of America has ever given birth - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly an issue

She was born in Oakland you numpties
According to constitutional scholar @DrJohnEastman of the @ClaremontInst (an opinion I share alongside many other legal professionals), Kamala Harris is ineligible to serve as President under the 12th Amendment.
Thus, Kamala must step aside for another candidate who is actually a natural born citizen.
Read Eastman’s great legal analysis here: newsweek.com/some-questions-…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 14th Amendment states, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Kamala Harris was born in Oakland, California, making her a U.S. citizen and eligible for the presidency.

That's a big fucking deal! The Republican vice presidential candidate is toying with end-runs around women's constitutional right to interstate travel!

Adoption is not necessarily an alternative to abortion.
Adoption is a parenting decision.
Abortion is a pregnancy decision.
They’re not the same.

If the EMTALA case really is a DIG (dismissed as improvidently granted) that would likely be a *real* "3-3-3" type ruling.
Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch = let women die.
Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson = no
Roberts, Brett & Amy = Some women will die but others receive tiny American flags.
Shoshanna Ehrlich (she/her) retweeted
Make no mistake: As it stands, today's EMTALA preview is barely a win for abortion supporters.
The Court refused to rule on the underlying issue: Must state abortion bans provide an exemption when a woman’s health is at risk, not only her life? msmagazine.com/2024/06/26/su…

And a misleading Washington Post headline on top of bad push alert! There are more than a dozen states with near total bans on abortion—and that includes abortion pills. The court didn’t rule on access, they ruled on standing to sue.
this Washington Post push alert is misleading! The Supreme Court didn’t weigh in on restricting access to the abortion pill because these particular plaintiffs couldn’t legally sue over it. The threat absolutely remains.

Unanimous passage of the Mass. Parentage Act in the House. The MPA would update Mass' outdated and underinclusive parentage statutes to ensure that all children and families are protected.
Incredible news for children and families in MA.
@MassParentage #MassParentage #MAPoli
BREAKING: The House just passed the Massachusetts Parentage Act to ensure all families are recognized, respected, and protected, regardless of how they are formed!

Watching my colleague debunk bad antiabortion science in front of congress is my super bowl 🏈
Today, Guttmacher data scientist Isaac Maddow-Zimet will testify before a US Senate committee hearing on post-#Dobbs abortion bans & the increase in interstate travel for abortion seekers.
Tune in at 2 pm ET here: gu.tt/3VB7MDr

BREAKING: The Louisiana state House passed a bill to classify abortion pills as controlled substances, such as Xanax and Valium
It's the 1st state to seek something like this and anti-abortion advocates say they want to see it replicated in other states

Under Roe, adolescents already faced paternalistic and medically unnecessary judicial system to access abortion care.
Overlay additional post-Dobbs restrictions, and care is pushed even further out of reach for young people.
We need abortion policies that protect EVERYONE
