Nobody's body is anybody else's business & we all deserve the basic human right to bodily autonomy
Trans people aren't anyone's political props & I hate that something with no national impact has become a distraction from national security issues

In Texas, especially, it’s not just ectopic pregnancies. It’s miscarriages and other complications from pregnancy. Doctors have been completely intimidated by the monstrous and extreme public officials. Women are bleeding to death and dying. They are pro death.
Abortion bans make exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, but some people still don’t get care.
One doctor told a woman intervening in her pregnancy could land him jail time, according to a lawsuit. “I felt like my life was a risk he couldn’t afford.”

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.

Dolly Parton was amazing. She was gifted a voice but the kindness, compassion, determination, devotion to her craft, business acumen, faith, and joy set her apart. She lived her faith and values in a way that was a shining star.

I always knew I’d rather be a Shirley MacLaine than a Mitch McConnell.
Shirley MacLaine, a retired private citizen, can film a video for the Southampton Playhouse at age 92, but Mitch McConnell can’t give his constituents a 60-second video at 84 years old.

Important: Trump’s executive order is NOT legislation. Though the executive order promotes more misinformation about vaccines, nothing has changed about the availability of childhood vaccines. For evidence-based guidance, please follow and share American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.
