The volunteer forces of the @psabortionfund.bsky.social every day are fighting for reproductive justice

Final update for now:

SC lawmakers did not vote on S.323 — they will reconvene next month and perhaps vote then after debating the bill themselves. We’re taking the weekend, and we’ll be back Monday with next steps.

We were honored that a client turned friend was willing to share her story. A few months ago, Jamee was denied care for her ectopic pregnancy. The hospital denied her the care she needed, but we were able to connect her to an OB that was willing to help.

This is not how healthcare should operate.

On Monday, we delivered over 2,000 postcards to members of the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Subcommittee w/msgs from people across our state demanding lawmakers vote NO on S.323.

Every card carried a powerful truth: South Carolinians want safe, legal abortion care & will not be silenced.

Two people stand at a podium on the front steps of the South Carolina State House, with its tall columns and grand stone architecture in the background. One person, wearing a black T-shirt, jeans, and a blue cap, raises their hand while speaking. The other person, in a dark shirt and tan pants, stands beside them at the podium with an open laptop. A few people sit and walk on the steps behind them, and the sky is partly cloudy.

SC Statehouse among fellow protesters (mid 30s white woman 7 months pregnant in navy dress with red sticker and white cardigan)

Something oddly comforting about being among hundreds, if not thousands, of pro-choice protesters gathered at the SC Statehouse, even under the circumstances. Great conversations volunteering at the @psabortionfund.bsky.social table! NO to S.323!

A woman is holding a large stack of printed petition papers wrapped in plastic, with text visible on the top page referencing the South Carolina Statehouse. The scene takes place outside, in front of the Statehouse, where several people are gathered. The woman wears a black top with a multicolored striped detail and a denim jacket, along with a round red sticker that says “Stop the Ban.” The photo was posted on social media with text above stating that Ashlyn Preaux, of the Palmetto State Abortion Fund, has a petition with some 6,000 signatures opposing a bill.

We delivered our petition against S.323 via email and hard copy. If you haven’t signed yet, go to our Linktree and add your name! We will keep this petition open until the bill is declared dead.

Stay tuned for updates on next steps and ways to continue fighting back.

LOTS OF UPDATES! 🧵

They did it!!!! 🥳
Now onto the next item on the agenda…SC folk, see y’all at the Statehouse on Wednesday? 9:30 AM at Gressett for the hearing on S.323, but WREN has recommended getting there at least an hour early, even if you’re registered to testify at the hearing. Let’s go beat this bill.

We appreciate the engagement! 👋

The scam is that abortions aren’t free.

Next.

We got there!

Omg they’re so close! I’m tapped out today 😄 someone please get them over the edge. Thank you all again for helping them! You guys are awesome.

South Carolina lawmakers are about to hear a bill that would classify abortion as homicide and would allow people who have abortions to be charged with murder. The proposal would replace the state’s current six week ban

We are at $935 / $2500!

We’re at $935/$2500!

Good news: y’all have already raised $300!

Bad news: she’s measured further along and the cost has gone up. She needs a total of $3,400 now in addition to the $1,000 we already pledged. Our goal is now $2,500 to raise for her and we will cover the rest of the balance.
