Black women in Texas account for 11% of live births, but 31% of maternal deaths. #SB8 doesn’t just mean forced birth, for many of us it could mean forced death too. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/30/texas-maternal-mortality-crisis-black-women-medicaid …https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1042785358205911040 …
94% of Black women voters knew what was on the line for reproductive rights and accordingly stood with Wendy Davis as she filibustered the precursor to #SB8 in 2013. 67% of White women voters shunned Wendy and accordingly stood with Whiteness. Do the math. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/06/25/five-years-after-wendy-davis-filibuster-abortion-clinics/ … https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/530384897106382848 …pic.twitter.com/K7WRi6KGf1
Abbott won 67% of the White woman vote in 2014 & 65% in 2018. DeSantis won 51% of the White woman vote in 2018. YES they know women can vote, NO they aren’t scared of facing backlash at the ballot box b/c the majority of White women empowered them to do everything they’re doing. https://twitter.com/geargodd/status/1433534753764876288 …pic.twitter.com/p3mu4yEBjr
The GOP’s already radicalized GOP women to the point where they’re terrorizing school boards, spreading disinformation on social media and refusing all efforts to protect their “sacred” children from a lethal virus. Convincing these women to keep voting GOP won’t be a tall order.
If they don’t even care about their own damn kids living or dying, they sure as fuck aren’t gonna suddenly reverse course for reproductive rights. Especially not if voting GOP maintains their finances/skin privilege and they won’t be affected by the disasters their votes cause.
Don’t fool yourself into expecting the White American voting majority that’s been voting GOP by default for 56 years (since Ds passed the Civil/Voting Rights Acts) to suddenly decide to preserve 48 years of Roe precedent instead. Jim & Jane Crow are a happily married couple.
If/when the theocratic GOP SCOTUS majority overturns or severely curtails 48 years of Roe precedent, our backlash must be so tremendous that the GOP loses the South and the *entire country* for generations to come. For every action, there’s an equal and OPPOSITE reaction. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1175579515772428293 …pic.twitter.com/YwhhqDJWPT
White supremacy’s positioned to tip the scales on Roe b/c it tipped the scales on the VRA in 2013 in response to Obama and the electoral strength of the Obama coalition. The only way to reverse the damage is to pass the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct & turn out for hope/change again.https://twitter.com/mfredericks1x/status/1466229960562159621 …
“Since over 3/4 of Black Americans identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party, any broad trends that differentially affect Democrats' attitudes abt abortion are, everything else being equal, going to affect Black Americans' as well.”

What this means is if you’re actually serious about preserving reproductive/human/civil rights, the revolution starts with dismantling the Jim Crow standing in Black women voters’ way. Don’t ever expect the architects of OUR oppression to demolish the house of horrors THEY built. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1053337387525378049 …pic.twitter.com/jnnW5Gx6x7
BLM (founded by Black women) has literally been warning y’all the fascists are coming for ALL of our rights since ‘13 but a lot of folk still think their relative privilege will be everlasting. None of us can truly be free if White supremacy is too. Wake the FUCK up & fight back.pic.twitter.com/C6XqyYswzS
