Headline: Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority strikes down 176-year-old abortion ban.
Some good news, in case you missed it:
The Wisconsin Supreme Court RESTORED ABORTION RIGHTS across the state by striking down a 176-year-old abortion ban.
This comes after years of work to break the court's conservative majority.
We CAN win.
Men sure love to mansplain abortion bans
“There’s an exception for the life of a mother!”
“No one is being arrested for a miscarriage!”
“It’s fear mongering!”
No. Abortion bans kill. They cause unnecessary delays in care. Criminal charges have been laid for pregnancy loss. It’s all about control
US HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's decision to remove #COVID19 #vaccines for healthy children and pregnant women from the CDC's immunization schedule has sparked criticism for undermining public trust and vaccination efforts.

For decades, safe and effective vaccines have lived up to that promise, saving millions of lives. Undermining trust in vaccines doesn’t make America healthy again. It needlessly puts the people we’re meant to protect in harm’s way.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.
The measles surge in the southwest is now the SINGLE LARGEST OUTBREAK since 2000 and the United States is now at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.
In some measles cases, the virus does not go away entirely, but rather it hides dormant in the brain. Then, some 7-10 years later, neurological symptoms appear, and the incurable progression of SSPE begins, almost always fatal. Surviving victims are so rare they are written up as case studies.

A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop. www.wired.com/story/scient...

Georgia woman arrested after having miscarriage.
A woman 24, was found unconscious & bleeding, & charged with concealing the death of another person, a 10 year felony.
Autopsy confirms natural miscarriage with no signs of injury to fetus. Woman is still gonna be charge with a felony.
