"This week, a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage. I’ll let that sit with you a moment."

As @TonyStark would say, this assault on women's rights and bodies wouldn't be happening if people voted for Harris.
Although U.S. adoptions via #fosterCare and other countries have been declining from 2019 to 2022, annual private domestic adoptions have slightly increased.

#Adoption data for 2023 will be particularly interesting, given the 2022 #Dobbs decision.
“For 2 years, I’ve seen firsthand how our state’s #AbortionBan has harmed my patients, with countless lives & futures changed because politicians thought their views of the right #healthcare was more important than #pregnant people & their #medical providers,” Dr. Eric M Reuss, one of the healthcare providers who brought the lawsuit over #Arizona’s 15-week ban, said in a statement.
#Arizona court permanently blocks 15-week #AbortionBan
The ruling marks a victory for #AbortionRights months after a ballot measure added protections to the state #constitution
A court permanently blocked AZ’s 15-week #abortion ban from taking effect on Wed, months after AZ residents voted to pass a ballot measure adding abortion rights into the state constitution.

In his dissent Monday, #ClarenceThomas said lower courts continue to follow Hill despite the court’s repudiation of that ruling in #Dobbs.
“I don’t see what is left” of the 2000 decision, he wrote, adding that the court “declines an invitation to set the record straight on Hill’s defunct status.”
In asking #SCOTUS to take the case from #Illinois, the coalition’s lawyer, Paul Clement, invoked the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn #RoeVWade. In that ruling, known as #Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org, #Alito cited the court’s 2000 decision on buffer zones as an example of an #abortion-related case that had “distorted First Amendment doctrines.”

ERA DECLARED IN EFFECT BY BIDEN
MAJOR news: On Feb 17, at D-3 for Trump taking power, Biden declared that the combined ratifications of the Equal Rights Amendment by states over the years adds up to enough to make it the law of the land.
In order to actually take effect though, it needs to be published by the national archivist, Colleen Shogan which may or may not happen.
Thus people are being asked to email her at (note that this is hand transcribed and may contain errors!)
archivistoftheunitedstates@nara.gov
and demand that the ERA be formally published as the 27th Amendment
This will seriously limit the Christian nationalist war on women and may even be enough to override and reverse Dobbs by creating a new constitutional hurdle for abortion bans

@AmandaMarcotte on "what one Texas law enforcement official called 'a little bit of an epidemic' of infant abandonment." It's a death cult.

Since the Dobbs decision, infant mortality in the US has risen by 7%. I'm gobsmacked that this is not a bigger headline. #abortion #dobbs

It's all about policing the binary and punishing those who transgress it. "Here’s just how similar the two arenas are, based on the nauseatingly familiar arguments in Skrmetti and Dobbs."

"In particular, living in a red state has become injurious to women’s health given the prevalence of 'maternity care deserts'(multiplying in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.) Thirty-nine percent of counties in states that restrict abortion have 'no hospitals or birthing centers that offer obstetric care and no individual obstetric providers (not even midwives)'; in Texas, that number is 46.5 percent."—Jennifer Rubin

The enormity of the suffering that is the result of abortion bans: "Ngumezi's youngest son doesn't fully understand that his mother is dead. ProPublica reported that he chases down women he sees in public who have similar hairstyles, calling for his mother."

Meanwhile, in #Texas, "Since the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 — also known as the #Dobbs decision — and the 2021 Texas ban on #abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, a growing number of domestic violence shelters are taking in more pregnant women or mothers with newborns... The Texas Council on Family Violence has warned of a 'capacity and safety crisis in our state' due to the shortage of beds." "Pro-life" my ass. https://www.tpr.org/public-health/2024-11-25/domestic-violence-shelters-in-texas-see-a-surge-of-pregnant-women-after-the-dobbs-decision
At least some good stuff: Against all odds, #Missouri, where I spent a few years, has added a #ProChoice amendment to their constitution.
A big rebound from being the first state post-#Dobbs to ban abortions.
A first, happy step.
