Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Indiana…we will make you have them but we won’t help care for them…didn’t feed 600k kids this summer, cut preschool numbers in half, blaming the prior Governor; cut Medicaid, Books for kids but the new Governor gets a helipad at Mar-la-Jasper, that’s Red State Pro-Life www.wfyi.org/news/article...

Maybe instead of “baby bonds” the government can give American women what they really want for motherhood. Healthcare… Maternity leave… Affordable childcare… And maybe just maybe laws that don’t allow states to deny pregnant women basic lifesaving medical care.

How very ironic that GOP Governors aren’t standing up for states’ rights here. I guess that only matters if you’re denying women or transgender people access to medical care. democraticgovernors.org/updates/stat...

One Texas doctor said hospitals should worry less about hypothetical legal consequences of the abortion ban and more about the threat to patients’ lives: “I think you're risking legal harm the opposite way for not intervening and putting somebody at risk.”

In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. Lawmakers wasted no time moving to undo a constitutional amendment that legalized abortion up to fetal viability. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social‬

The people of Missouri made it very clear: They wanted abortion rights (at least until fetal viability). Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen.

Indiana, where they will take away feeding kids in the summer & Dolly Parton’s book program but hand out $44 million in fraudulent charter school money to church schools, because you know, Jesus. How about we give all the education $ to our public schools? pro.stateaffairs.com/in/education...

Across nations, the assault on abortion rights is often orchestrated by aging male officials clinging to authority. Women’s freedoms remain uniquely vulnerable to decisions made by those who will never bear their consequences, a global failure of justice.

As Indiana continues to reduce funding for traditional public schools, struggle to fund 4 different systems of (schools’) choice, discuss voluntary public district consolidation, and start forced consolidation, 5 more charters are seeking approval to open. Bad policy!

The defunding of the Women’s Health Initiative halts vital longitudinal research into heart disease, cancer, and aging in women. Not a fiscal adjustment, but a strategic abandonment of evidence-based, gender-specific science.
