Frightening. “I really don’t understand how we can square a constitution that protects people’s right to life with a ban that will result in pregnant people dying,” said Rabia Muqaddam, senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.

The Republican political leaders in Texas are obsessed with power and control over women - and they’ve created a state of fear where folks can’t even reach out to friends or family.

It is dangerous to be pregnant in Texas. Thank you to and these five brave women for sharing their stories. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Five women with dangerous pregnancy complications were denied abortions due to Texas’ abortion bans. We are suing the state of Texas on their behalf.

Welcome to Ron DeSantis’ Florida
Quote Tweet
I sincerely believe that Ron DeSantis lost any hope of winning the presidency this week. Standing by while the state requires girls to submit information on their menstrual cycles to school officials? It's over. He may win the nomination, but he's not gonna win the general.

Americans don’t want Donald Trump anywhere near the White House.
Women rejected this man at the ballot box in 2020, we rejected his handpicked candidates last week, and we’re going to make sure he loses in 2024.

You have continued to cover this story when others said it was over and that women had somehow lost interest in our rights being taken away. There is so much still to come - we all need you on the air and telling our stories.

Could not agree more. Republicans are in denial about how their campaign to end legal abortion in America totally changed 2022 outcome.
Quote Tweet
It's comical to watch Republicans try to offload blame on Trump for this debacle. He'll never allow that. But this is also partly *spin.* Rs are making Trump the focus to avoid talking about the role of abortion rights, a huge long term problem for them.

It turns out that folks across the country don’t want politicians in control of our bodies. “(The) effort to offload blame on Trump is partly spin. Republicans are eager to erase the central role that the demise of abortion rights played.”

In Wisconsin…Democratic Party, Ben Wikler, offered his own statistic: before the 2018 midterms, the state claimed 654,000 registered voters under age 35. This year, he said, the comparable figure was 783,000 — a 20 percent increase. 🔥

So this makes it 6 out of 6 states in 2022 - when voters have a say, they vote for the right to safe and legal abortion. Kansas, California, Montana, Vermont, Michigan and Kentucky.
