There is more than 200 Christian denominations in the U.S. and over 45,000 globally, according to the Center for the Study of Global Christianity

There’s 10,000 different types of religions (1 being Christianity).

During Christian studies, they found that EVERY Christian will pick and choose what part of the teachings THEY believe in. So, actually, the number of different beliefs is astronomical.

Almost every act of war is historically recorded as having a religious undertone.

Please remember this the next time you decide that YOUR beliefs should blend in with laws and government policies.

Once you open that door, it allows someone with a completely different belief to walk in. The next thing you know, laws will be forcing you to do things you can’t imagine.

Henry VIII started the Church of England, destroying Catholic Churches and killing believers. When his daughter “Bloody Mary” took over, she wanted England Catholic again…. So she created the same violence her father did, but this time it was protestants (people who protested the Catholic Church) who were burned alive.

History has a thousand stories just like that one.

Keep church and state separate, its the only way we can survive in peace.

Stop the stupidity.

I literally do not care what the Bible says about any political issue. I am not Christian. Christian scripture should have zero effect on my life or my personal freedoms.

Women in the “Global South” are at the forefront of experiencing the worst of climate change and they are facing the gravest of consequences due to global inaction on this catastrophe.

Just to emphasize: Mike Johnson is an antivaxxer, an anti-abortion forced bither, he believes the job of poor women is to give birth to an infinite supply of low wage jobseekers, he is a climate change denier, he wants to cut Social Security + Medicare + Medicaid, and he’s a “Trump won!” Republican. And House Republicans just unanimously voted for him as Speaker of the House.

Please take note: there are no “moderates” in the Republican Party.

@Redistrict

"I've seen enough: in a victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1, a measure to establish a right to an abortion in the state constitution, passes."

I am begging people to understand that reproductive rights is as much the right to become and remain pregnant as it is to terminate a pregnancy.

Encouraging all people capable of being pregnant to get their tubes tied or get a hysterectomy isn't the solution you think it is.

Most people who get abortions do so because they want to be able to get pregnant in the future.

Back-alley abortions often leave people unable to become pregnant again, even if they want to. Legal, safe abortion ensures that a person can terminate a pregnancy while still retaining the option and ability to become pregnant again.

PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people have historically been barred from the right to get pregnant and reproduce. These marginalized groups have faced sterilization and maternal mortality for a long time.

If you think reproductive justice is only about the right to *not* be pregnant, you are woefully misinformed.

Reproductive justice means people should be able to control their own bodies, whether it means ending or preventing a pregnancy, or becoming pregnant and remaining pregnant.

Reproductive justice means that healthcare providers should and must address the barriers and dangers PoC, disabled people, and trans and intersex people face when it comes to obstetrics and gynecology.

Reproductive justice means lowering the maternal mortality rate for black people in America.

Reproductive justice means not sterilizing disabled people and providing safe options for disabled people who want to become pregnant.

Reproductive justice means acknowledging that trans people may want to become pregnant and not mandating they be sterilized in order to legally transition.

Reproductive justice means not sterilizing intersex babies and children in the attempt to make them fit into a dyadic, binary sex.

Reproductive justice is not just about abortions.

📍 Today marks the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which struck down several Texas laws that criminalized abortion. Roe changed the abortion landscape in the U.S., though it didn’t ensure access for everyone. Roe should have been the floor, not the ceiling for abortion access. As we come up on almost two years since Roe fell, it is hard not to see the same issues resurfacing. In Texas and throughout the country, pregnant people are facing criminalization for their pregnancy choices and outcomes. The reality is the Supreme Court’s decision and the state bans that followed don’t recognize the intricacies of people’s lives and experiences. Abortion bans harm real people and their families.

✊ It’s on us to continue the fight for our rights, not only for us – but for future generations.

Image description: Digital illustration of a diverse group of eight faces. There’s text in the center that reads, ‘abortion is freedom,’ with secondary text scattered throughout the image that reads, ‘from poverty, from a future I don’t want, from a life threatening pregnancy and from the wrong partner.’
