Also reminder that Roe never actually guaranteed access to care.

If these politicians don’t stop posting about Roe after doing literally nothing for decades I stg

Adoption is not an alternative to abortion. Being pregnant comes with health risks, employment discrimination, and financial challenges.

You know who actually cares about the wellbeing of pregnant people? Those of us out here fighting for abortion rights.

People *really* do not understand how diminished your rights can be during pregnancy. For pregnant people, there’s always judgment, usually surveillance, and sometimes criminalization. Pregnant people are invariably told that their selves, bodies, and lives are secondary.

One time my judgey older cousin tried to tell me that I would regret my abortion after I became a parent. She now has a face full of filler and I am a happy mom who wrote a book to support other people who have abortions 🩷

On the 4th anniversary of Roe falling, I want to remind y’all that the state cannot take away our right to bodily autonomy because it is fundamental. They can fuck things up and make it harder but we’re stronger, smarter, and better. We will always help each other access the care we need.

I’ve been doing repro work for almost a decade and the number one thing I want y’all to understand is that *there are absolutely no good reasons to restrict access to abortion care*.

“I don’t want to be pregnant” is a complete sentence.

I’ve had an abortion, a miscarriage, and a baby, in that order. Each of these experiences strengthened my resolve to fight for everyone’s right to make their own reproductive decisions - whatever those decisions are.

Imagine a world where I could just write cookbooks! Instead, we live in this hellscape and I simply cannot shut up about abortion!

Today's a good day to grab a copy of The Abortion Companion: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice & Your Journey for your local free little library!

This seems like a great time to remind y'all about the time old JD referenced my work!

Good evening! If you like baking, gardening, and reproductive rights, I’m your girl! My first book is a cookbook where I teach you to process your feelings through baking, and the second is a shame free guide to support all people who have abortions. Stay awhile 🩷

I am 100% serious - if any of y’all have the connect reach out 🩷

On the eve of the 4th anniversary of Roe falling it’s important to understand that miscarriage care is abortion care. You cannot ensure access to miscarriage care without ensuring access to abortion care *because it is the same care*

Conservatives have abortions. Evangelicals have abortions. Even if they say they don't!

R*pists LOVE to control other people’s reproductive decisions. There is a direct link between Christine Blasey Ford’s assault and the fall of Roe. I am still so unbelievably grateful for her bravery.

Okay but how do I get myself invited to the Olivia Rodrigo festival? I want to talk to people about abortion access!

Brett Kavanaugh is a little bitch baby and I fully hate him!

I'm so proud to share this profile by Joi Louviere for Courier Texas! It was so wonderful to speak with Joi and I deeply appreciate her curiosity and care when describing my work. I hope you'll read! couriertexas.com/news/healthc...

I’m so, so tired of The Abortion Companion: An Affirming Handbook for Your Choice & Your Journey being left out of lists like this. Like what is the DEAL?

Happy Not Father’s Day to men who have benefited from abortion access! Access benefits men, families, literally everyone. I’m grateful for men who support people who have abortions - emotionally, logistically, monetarily, etc.

I spend so much time in abortion affirming spaces that sometimes I forget exactly why people need my book and then I spend 5 minutes reading my Facebook comments and I remember! But I know a stigma free reality is possible because we’re building it.

This Juneteenth (and every Juneteenth) I’m grateful for the visionary Black women who developed the reproductive justice framework and are the heart of our movement.

Example one, from two minutes ago:

It’s not always as overtly cruel as this. I’ll say “I’m grateful for abortion bc it let me live a life I chose”, and then there’ll be some lady saying “aww how sad 💔”. It’s easier for these people to focus on their hypothetical vision for your life than the beautiful real one you’re sharing.

I truly do not understand *wanting* to cause other people pain. It makes absolutely zero sense to me and is perhaps my villain origin story.

Wait the ballerina lady is only one year older than me?? You have GOT to be kidding me.

I’m 51. So far my 50s have been much, much better than my 40s, which were better than my 30s, which were better than my 20s. And that’s not the power of positive thinking, that’s just straight up experience. The longer you survive, the more bullshit falls away. So liberating!

White supremacy punishes Black and Brown people for any and all reproductive decisions. This man literally killed someone’s perfect child - their whole universe - because he thinks it is his god given right to police Black and Brown people.

Reproductive justice is about the ability to parent (or not) in safety and with support from our communities. Baby Kohen and his family deserved all of the safety in the world. The depth of loss is unfathomable.

The “motherhood is about sacrifice” thing is so bleak! I want my daughter to see me enjoy the shit out of my life! We should all want that for ourselves!

Someone just tried to insult me by calling me old but jokes on them because I love aging and you couldn’t pay me to return to anything before 28!

It’s insane to me how everyone seems to think that dehumanizing, misogynistic harassment is just the cost of doing business if you’re talking about repro on the internet. Lile when are we going to collectively decide that this is unacceptable?

So many of y’all would be shocked by the vitriol directed at people who have abortions every single day. Whenever people are brave enough to share their experiences publicly, it’s basically inevitable that they will be met with horrible things said to them. That’s what abortion stigma normalizes.

Our friends at ARC-Southeast have been experiencing some layoffs in the organizing department: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I can’t imagine the pain Kohen Kartier Wiley’s family is in. This is the pinnacle of evil.

I don’t live in DC anymore but @janeese4dc.bsky.social is my mayor 🩷🩷🩷

Anti-abortion rhetoric and policy gives cover for men to abuse women FYI!

Talladega Nights is perfect cinema

Not this anti-abortion org having a land acknowledgement on their website 🤡

I'm delighted to share that my essay "This Actually Isn't Difficult to Understand: On Parenthood and Having Abortions" will appear in the upcoming anthology BETWEEN OUR LEGS (out October 27th)!

Abortion access is an American value. It’s time to act like it!

Some free messaging for the democrats who still can’t figure out how to talk about abortion: I don’t support any restrictions on abortion care. There is no way to draw lines restricting access to care that keeps everyone safe. My job is to keep all of my constituents safe.

Checking in on my fellow migraine sufferers - how’s your Friday afternoon weekend comedown migraine? Mine sucks!

And beyond the total disregard for our humanity, this take is also just deeply stupid and uninformed. Abortion is popular. We need to make policies based on what actually works for actual families, not to cajole a fictitious “reasonable” anti.

Important reframe for ya: it is up to the person who is pregnant to determine whether each individual pregnancy is viable. People make their reproductive decisions based on a constellation of variables. There is absolutely no way to draw lines restricting access to care while keeping everyone safe.

There is no “middle ground” on abortion. All pregnant people have a fundamental right to bodily autonomy, period. This is so obvious - don’t let them trick you y’all!
