Hi john,
Omg – it’s finally here. Election Day. Spooky season is over, but now we wait to see what real world horrors are about to be unleashed. We’re nauseous, nervous, excited, a little bit gassy, but we’re ready . There is nothing to do but sit and wait, so grab a drink and some comfy slippers, break down the latest abortion news, and then disassociate with us until all of the results are in!
Couldn’t We All Use a Buffer Between Us and Harassholes? A close-up image of Jack Nicholson's character from ''The Shining,'' peeking through a broken door with a wide, manic smile. Text above his head reads, ''Anti-abortion ghouls: 'Supreme Court, let us invade patient space just THIS much!''' In the bottom right corner is a red square with the letters ''AF'' in white, representing Abortion Access Front's logo. [[link removed]]
There are some things we should all be able to agree on, but apparently, “people deserve to access healthcare without harassment” isn’t one of them? Anti-abortion extremists are asking SCOTUS to give the death blow to protest-free zones outside of abortion clinics [[link removed]] in both Illinois and New Jersey. Why, you ask? So that they can get close enough to patients to make eye contact while bothering them. Listen here, nerds – the only eye contact we give when strangers approach us in the wild is the beginning of a very exaggerated eye roll. That’s it.
An image from the movie ''Poltergeist'' showing a young girl reaching out towards a TV displaying static. Text on the TV reads, ''STATE-SPONSORED ANTI-ABORTION MISINFORMATION,'' and a label over the girl reads ''YOU.'' In the bottom right corner, there's a yellow square with the letters ''AF'' in black, representing Abortion Access Front's logo. [[link removed]] The Department of Health Propaganda is More Like It, Amirite?
We are begging departments of health to STOP BULLSHITTING THE PUBLIC about their abortion laws and ballot initiatives! The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services issued a HEALTH ADVISORY [[link removed]] to pretend that their bare minimum “exceptions” in the 12-week abortion ban are good enough. With Florida and Missouri officials following the same tired playbook, we want to reiterate one thing: WE KNOW Y’ALL ARE LYING. QUIT IT.
Girl Math But Uteri
If you have a uterus, you are likely all too familiar with the internal math that happens to avoid pregnancy, but especially in a post-Roe world. With the groundbreaking ability to buy birth control pills over the counter (WE SEE YOU O-PILL [[link removed]] ), a new Biden administration proposal would require insurance carriers to cover the costs of over-the-counter birth control methods [[link removed]] ! The downside? It would not cover those on state-controlled Medicaid, who are mostly low-income and in need of cost assistance. We appreciate the effort, but can we stop leaving out those who need the most support??

The work that abortion advocates have put into their ballot campaigns is nothing short of incredible, and we can’t wait to see your states turn out and turn up!
