‘We’re going to disrupt this country’: Pardoned anti-abortion activists plot mass clinic protests A group of longtime abortion opponents, emboldened by Trump's pardons, regrouped in Washington to plan a new wave of demonstrations at abortion clinics.

Of course they are, because they've faced no consequences for causing harm and preventing people's access to healthcare. Anti-abortionists are hateful, do nothing but cause harm and harass people, and they are all violent.

Emergency contraception is a large dose of birth control taken to prevent pregnancy, and is an essential piece of care for survivors of rape.
