If you have a miscarriage or stillbirth, you could be questioned by police. If you are pregnant and have cancer, your chemotherapy could be delayed or denied. Activists are even proposing "mandatory psychiatric custody" of women seeking abortions.
Needed this from @rtraister today: "Despair is poison. It deadens people when the most important thing they can do is proceed with more drive and force and openness than they have before"
After decades of calling murderers, now they’re planning to arrest us, watch us die & force children to give birth. Animosity is all they have
"I feel I must reassert myself as a person with a mind and a will." Really beautiful piece from @onesarahjones

Rush Limbaugh had a segment called "AIDS update" set to music where he mocked dying gay people so I don't really want hear about 'speaking ill of the dead' today
