Abortion 'zines with my favourite abortion person, @rishie.bsky.social!

Check out the beautiful, moving, funny, creative 'zines from our @abortionbookclub.bsky.social workshops in the thread below. We're so in love with them, we think you will be too!

Thank you @soc-misc.bsky.social for having me! It was a privilege to be in a space of incredible scholars to talk about #miscarriage measurement - an unbelievably untroubled space in our field given its importance for so many people!

This is woman-hating, anti-abortion nonsense.

Change the men doing this. Rethink what it means to be 'masculine' away from dominance and control. Focus on gender justice and ending men's violence.

Don't limit pregnant people's access to abortions. Ever.
