    And of course, the Broidy's of the world will be able to secure abortions for their mistresses in whatever future legal regime the GOP ultimately brings about.

    "Bechard recalled Broidy telling her that he admired Trump’s 'uncanny ability to sexually abuse women and get away with it.’” Uncanny is a word for it.

    This quote from an Arkansas doctor who’s been affected by the state’s many abortion restrictions is striking too: "You go through all these years of training, you hit all your milestones, and here comes somebody who knows nothing about what you do and says you are not competent”

    “If you’re a woman in Arkansas, & you’re almost 200 miles away from a clinic, have a 48-hour waiting period, & a job that doesn’t give you sick leave or flexible hours, then your access to abortion has already been banned.” Could be true more places soon.

    Never, EVER forget that what you are reading when you read Hunter S. Thompson is due to the women of Rolling Stone making the gibberish he sent them at three in the morning into something coherent.

    Hey, happy anniversary to the bra burners! (Who, fun fact, didn't actually burn any bras...)

    But it is still concerning to hear that terminology, given the growing conservative push (including in the current administration) to roll back birth control access. I’d want clarification from him, if I were in this hearing!

    The generous interpretation of this comment is that he was describing the plaintiffs’ case — they (incorrectly) consider IUDs an abortifacient.

    Kavanaugh: “They said filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of the abortion-inducing drugs that they...objected to.” The case he’s referring to was about the birth control mandate. Birth control =/= abortifacients.

    Paging Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.

    Kavanaugh: “I am not sure that all legal scholars refer to Roe as the settled law of the land.”

    I've spoken to multiple women who made allegations against Kozinski and many former clerks. They and others find it implausible that Kavanaugh would never heard about Kozinski' conduct, given what an open secret it was. But no direct evidence he knew.

    Brett Kavanaugh invoking his feminism during a hearing whose entire subtext is the presumed imminent destruction of Roe is a little tough to stomach.

    “Teachers are at the quiet center of this recurring national horror. They are victims and ad hoc emergency workers, often with close ties to both shooter and slain and with decades-long connections to the school itself.”

    “In 1965, illegal abortion accounted for 17 percent of all deaths stemming from pregnancy and childbirth.” It might be coming from stats like that. But what do I know, I’m probably just being hysterical.

    Hm, gee.

    Sasses says it's a 30 year tradition to have "screaming protests saying women are going to die...Where is the hysteria coming from?" (He says hysteria three times.)

    I was also one of the four, and I stand in solidarity with and my amazing and talented former coworkers, who have been so supportive. Please DM with job openings and/or story tips.

    Yesterday, on the eve of our filing, laid off four employees, underscoring the urgency of our demand for job security through a contract.
