Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What's happened since?

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Fascism is normal. Greed is normal. Homophobia is normal. Sexism is normal. Racism is normal. We are getting "normal" in droves right now. When they say "Make America Great Again" it's "normal" that they wanna go back to. No, what we need right now is to be exceptional.
"Normal" is what got us here.

All the hateful ciswomen attacking trans folks are digging their own grave by facilitating gender-based discrimination. Guess who will come crying as they lose every single one of their rights?

Yes, it’s called β€˜Textbook what the US has been doing in the Global South for decades’. None of us are surprised by the way - we’ve told you - imperialism abroad is fascism at home.
