Especially when pregnancy can cause dysphoria in nonbinary and trans people, it's why I desperately wanted an abortion when I was pregnant

We must put an end to the mistreatment of our sisters, cis and trans. Corporate media has been spreading disinformation on minorities for too long and the billionaire class have weaponized it for their own greed and political gain. No more! It's time to give Americans the freedom of equality! #ERA

Republicans believe in “State’s Rights,” aka “Mob Rule” to approve your Medical Options and Healthcare,— but ONLY if you are not a Republican man.

I’d argue that they don’t really *need* a good argument. Any argument will do when the majority is SCOTUS is corrupt. I’d bet this decision has already been made…

When people say all our rights are connected, this is what they mean

The playbooks are the same because conservatives view both abortion rights and trans rights as threats to traditional gender roles.

And the same groups are attacking bodily autonomy. A key one is Alliance Defending Freedom

Conservatives are dead, this is just a distraction by the Oligarchs and I hide things they are doing while we are arguing about this 😏
