#roe v. wade overturned

[newsrepertoire]

Christian conservatives got Roe v. Wade overturned (what inspired the Respect for Marriage Act anyway), "In God We Trust" is stamped on our currency (and license plates if you so choose), oaths are taken on the Bible (unless otherwise chosen) but somehow right-wing media is convinced that gay marriage is Christian persecution.

remember when there was that post going around challenging terfs to define a chair? i have yet to watch a gender essentialist define a woman without excluding cis black women. and i want yall to watch them do it over and over again until you understand that transphobia is just repackaged white supremacy.

listen guys, with recent happenings in the states, i know shit sucks, okay? i know we all wish we could leave. however, i can't do that. many OTHER people can't do that, for whatever reason. i don't want us to disappear, so i'll try to put together some things we can do to help. these are the ones i know for sure, add any you want, and i'll be reblogging with more once i get more info:

help your communities. give extra butter to your neighbors when they ask. help your friends with money. help people. be kind.

when voting for elections, the "little" elections are as big as the big ones. from the president to members of your local school board, you need to participate in voting for who you want. i don't care if it's boring or you think it won't do anything- and i'll tell you why right now. the people that put these rules in place did so purposefully, and that is how books with queer characters are banned in your schools and the supreme court has had three judges appointed by donald trump. if you want change, you gotta get out there and make it happen.

protest protest protest. spread info about it. if anyone's being a dick about it to you, only get aggressive as an absolute LAST RESORT (like if they're harassing you or something, and even then, please don't do anything stupid). if they don't listen to the info you're giving them, just block and move on. don't run yourself ragged arguing with randoms. for organizers and protestors: remember they were going to make you look like criminals no matter what. meaning: don't let the news make you feel like shit. don't feel bad if you're called bad names. don't let them get you down.

when talking about this, remember that some people can't leave the states. remember that they're just as scared as you are. they don't want to be here either.

don't let this get so bad that it necessitates a revolution. many people can't handle that for any reason, and it is best to ensure as many people live as possible. this is why we need to organize, vote, and make some noise.

never, never, never give up. never even think of it. sure, you can be scared- you can be absolutely petrified if you want- but you must be able to do it scared. you must steel yourself against your fears and be courageous for those who are vulnerable.

overall this is just written as i'm shaking out of fear, but we must stand in the face of adversity, yadda yadda. don't allow this country to obscure your light. we must fight for our rights in the now so that we won't have to die for them in the future.

i know it's a long post, but thank you for reading.

people saying "the new york times wrote about it, so it must be true that USAG is oppressed!" y'all already forgot how nyt made that graphic at the last olympics where china's medals were smaller than the american medals so it looked like usa had won more gold at that point?? 💀 nyt is absolutely not usa propaganda free

seeing as today is the anniversary of roe v wade being overturned, i would like to remind everyone that you can petition your state government to put abortion rights on the ballot and there is currently a petition in florida to do just that.

if you’re a registered florida voter, you can print, fill out, and mail this petition to help contribute :)

This is mostly aimed at American people (I’m British) but do you think Eden allows abortions or not?

DON’T MAKE PERFECT THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD

Planned Parenthood and NARAL declined to offer any support to petition signature collection because they said the amendment to restore abortion rights was “too restrictive.”

Right now in Arkansas, there is a total abortion ban.

The majority of abortions are done in the first 12 weeks. This amendment would restore access to the most common and desperately needed abortion care.

Opposing it is not just absurd, it’s heartless.

Arkansas has the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation.

So, I guess we’re fine with letting more women die because it doesn’t fit neatly into our political agenda.

The campaign used conservative messaging and sought Republican support. That’s what it takes to restore access to abortion care in one of the reddest states in the country.

If you actually care about restoring reproductive rights, you should be welcoming bipartisan support.

Congratulations to Arkansans for Limited Government for pulling off an incredible petition gathering campaign with nothing but pure organizing hustle.

This is only the first hurdle but every post-Dobbs ballot initiative restoring or protecting abortion access has passed.

We can do this.

Not today, patriarchy, not today

How many things do you think need to be set on fire to disrupt capitalism enough to create a livable society? Asking for a friend
