Birthright citizenship is safe. Roberts with the opinion in Trump v. Barbara. Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch dissenting. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled that states can ban transgender girls from school sports. This is a devastating ruling for trans students across the country who simply want the freedom to play with their friends.

Here is the court's opinion: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p... Barrett and the liberals join Roberts in full. Kavanaugh concurs in the judgment because he finds that a federal statute bars Trump's executive order.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.

OH deserves a governor who understands Black maternal and infant mortality as a state of emergency, not one who makes racist remarks about Black women’s right to abortion. @amyactonoh.bsky.social and @vivekgramasquamy.bsky.social, will you make Black maternal and infant health a real priority?

Free tip for candidates and elected officials: Your media statements about abortion should include the word "abortion."

Under Roe, bans on insurance coverage and telemedicine flourished. States gleefully put patients through multi-day waiting periods, misleading counseling, and invasive ultrasounds before their appointments. Clinics closed their doors. Abortion was a right in name only www.jezebel.com/demand-bette...

The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade four years ago today simply because it had the votes to do it. People were denied abortions long before 2022—thanks to insurance bans, viability bans, and Catholic hospitals—but a lot of journalists and politicians acted like that was an acceptable status quo

Four years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court wrongly struck down Roe v. Wade, taking away a constitutional right from Americans for the very first time and setting off a cascade of devastating consequences. Now, your rights now depend on your zip code 👉 bit.ly/4eI1bzF

On the fourth anniversary of the #Dobbs decision and the end of Roe, we're briefly looking back but never taking our eyes off the mission of ensuring everyone has reproductive freedom and abortion access. Read more: abortionforward.org/blog/dobbs-p...

🗣️Aside from the fact that HB 472 will exclude voters who rely on mail voting to participate in our democracy, the most dangerous unintended consequence of this bill is the likely spike in scams and identity theft. Gov. DeWine must veto TODAY. ‼️ https://ow.ly/YX0Z50Zgjfw

Susan Collins has blood on her hands. She is a disgrace and needs to be removed from the Senate.

Fantastic testimony from @daniellefirsich.bsky.social 👏

HB 347 testimony starting now. Check our thread below for updates:

Happening now - OH Sen Health Cmte hearing. Today two abortion bills are on the agenda, HB 324, a bill to ban telemedicine for medication abortion, and HB 347 a bill to create a NEW 24 hr waiting period. Both of these bills are repeats of policy the court has already blocked as unconstitutional.

Happening now: Proponent testimony on a bill that would attempt to restore Ohio's already-blocked 24-hour waiting period on abortion care. The first witness starts with a bunch of lies right off the bat... Live video: ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-se...

This is incredibly tragic and sad. Hopefully now when health care advocates talk about the danger of sepsis infections, dudes in elected office will understand the risk level.

We're joining partners from across Ohio in opposing House Bill 113. Chair Brenner is using his position to perpetuate views that are rooted in implicit bias and systemic racism. We object.

SCOTUS’s decision to extend the stay preserves telehealth access to mifepristone for now, but as the case continues, patients and providers are forced to navigate engineered uncertainty, with real risks to their health and privacy. 📰: @msmagazine.com buff.ly/fDHS3Rf

Happening now: Ohio Senate Health Committee hearing, including sponsor testimony on HB 324, which pushes misinformation about medication abortion. Video ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-se...

Alito is assigned all appeals from the Fifth Circuit, his name would be on this mifepristone order regardless. But you can bet this political hack knows it's bad vibes to restrict abortion before the midterms. If they sched the case for next term, the fix is in www.supremecourt.gov/about/circui...

Statement from @abortionforward.bsky.social following passage of House Bill 347:

The Ohio House is now debating House Bill 347, which would restore a 24-hour waiting period on abortion care in Ohio.

HB 249 just passed the House by a vote of 63-30. This is incredibly disappointing. This bill is yet another attempt to silence and censor the LGBTQ community by denying drag performers their constitutional right to free expression.

The Ohio House is debating a bill to severely restrict drag performances, which would likely be a legal vehicle for the harassment of Trans folks. Rep. @berylbrownpic.bsky.social is doing a wonderful job speaking against the bill on the House floor.

The Ohio House of Representatives convenes at 2pm, and we are expecting floor votes on two bills that violate our civil liberties. ❌HB 249: effectively bans most drag performances in Ohio ❌HB 347: imposes a 24-hour waiting period for abortion care Livestream here: ohiochannel.org/live/ohio-ho...

Release: In an attempt to gain conservative votes before a primary election, Ohio state legislators are regurgitating a fictitious and potentially harmful concept and reintroducing a bill to push misinformation on patients seeking medication abortion.

“The farmworker movement has always been bigger and far more important than any one individual. … I have kept this secret long enough. My silence ends here.” Read Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez in full:

This was such a well-framed and heartfelt testimony that I applauded from the back of the room:

Discriminating against drag performances based on the content of their expression directly undermines the First Amendment. Let's call HB 249 what it is: a malicious attempt to remove LGBTQ people from public life.

⏰The House Judiciary Committee will soon hear opponent testimony on HB 249, Ohio's drag ban. 🪩Drag is protected speech, just like any other art form. 📲Tell lawmakers to reject this bill: action.aclu.org/send-message...

RELEASE: abortionforward.org/press-releas...

Happening now: The Ohio House Health Committee is voting on House Bill 347 to the floor for a full chamber vote. The bill would reimpose the 24-hour waiting period for abortion, which has been blocked in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. The bill passes along party lines.

Happening now: The Ohio House Education Committee is hearing testimony on a bill to push a deeply flawed concept called the "Success Sequence" on students, attempting to push young people into a pre-formed mold for life that ignores the reality of socioeconomic factors.

Who here wants their sixth grader to get sex ed. in a pep rally with high school seniors? Any parents want that? Anybody? No? NOPE. NO ONE WANTS THIS.
