Not really; if you read the piece you’ll see that Stanton’s peers in the movement rejected her for these statements.

Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.

@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb

I actually kind of like how performative rude and aggressive she was about that kind of thing. Uh, less so about others.

Trump is the weakest he’s ever been. That makes him so dangerous on Iran | Moira Donegan Why would Trump launch a foreign war when he is so domestically weak? Precisely because he is weak

"Why would Trump launch a foreign war when he is so domestically weak?" asks @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

"Trump cannot consolidate his authoritarian regime because he is simply not popular enough to do so."

The notion that Arabs and Muslims are more bound to the strictest dictates of Islam than white people are to those of Christianity or Judaism reflects a belief in these people as primitive and superstitious, which is … wait for it… racist.

‘Damaging and punishing’: Birth control clinics serving millions face federal funding cliff Clinics are pleading with Congress and HHS for answers amid “radio silence” about the imminent expiration of Title X funding.

NEW: Title X clinics around the country that provide contraception, cancer screening etc. to more than 2mil low income people could see their federal funding cut off in a few weeks. HHS was supposed to give clinics guidance months ago about reapplying for funding, but it's been "radio silence."

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.
