Anniversary of Travesty
Tomorrow June 24th, 2023 is the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that struck down Roe v Wade and with it the right to choose. It denigrates women and relegates them to second class status. Republicans have now banned abortion in 14 states, resulting in a full-scale health care crisis. Here is a map so you can see where it is dangerous to be pregnant.
It's up to us to stand up and fight back with our voices and our votes to defend every woman's freedom to make her own decisions about her body and her future.
ACTION 1
The Women’s March will be host many rally’s and events this weekend to express discontent and anger at this egregious decision.
Find an event near you here.
ACTION 2
Tell your Representative and Senators in Congress and the President it is time to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. It will make abortion care legal nationwide. You can call/email (contact info below) or text SIGN PWPFJG to 50409.
“My name is [name] and I am your constituent in [zipcode] and it is time for Congress restore a woman’s right to choose. Over 60% of Americans want this. What does it take for you to protect the women in this country and restore their rights as full citizens with authority over their lives and bodies. DO IT.

Thank you so much for sharing this resource. I will add it to the reference reading list at the end of the news letter.
As Alan says: Stand up, fight back with our voices and votes. And thank you Alan for the alliteration. I'm a card-carrying comrade in the Alliteration Alliance. :-)
Speaking of Roe, here's my own take: https://medium.com/@idember/girls-and-women-breeders-4ca4fb6bf44f
