“Interstate 55 carries 10s of thousands of abortion seekers out of southern states to Illinois, where abortion is legal. I-55 is covered with horrific, shaming billboards. Shout Your Abortion put up 6 good ones, to show love & affirmation to those making the journey.” x

Every time I see people crow about how wealthy white women will be protected and helped out by their powerful fathers and husbands even when abortion (and of late, interstate travel to access abortion care in other states) is illegal, I feel compelled to point out that after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the daughter of a wealthy, well-connected Republican man, accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, her own father shook the hand of Kavanaugh’s father at their shared golf club and congratulated him on his son’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Men whose lifeblood is preserving the patriarchy don’t entertain exceptions, even for their daughters and wives. At the end of the day, they don’t see women as people, even those they purport to love, and consider them at best, accessories and at worst, problems to be handled.

The Abortion Absolutist

Warren Hern has been performing late abortions for half a century. After Roe, he is as busy with patients as ever.

The Atlantic

This was an interesting read. Surprisingly nonpreachy given the subject; and well worth the time.

This is oaywalled but it made me weep with relief to see an honest recounting for once, so I’ve saved some good bits:

We talk a lot about the importance of seeing older butches, ring of keys moments, being a young tomboy and seeing that you don’t have to conform when you grow older, or maybe you were more conforming as a little girl but realised you had the freedom to be different, or how important it is as a butch to be a sign to the next generation of little girls that they too have the opportunity to grow up like you. But I think it is also nice to state how nice it can be to be a grown butch and see a young tomboy out in public.

Earlier today my girlfriend and I saw two girls who were getting bubble tea at the same place as us, maybe 12-14 years, and it made me so happy to see that one of them was a tomboy, and it made me think of how important I actually find it to see young tomboys out in public. It does make me happy and fond to see a young tomboy, sometimes she reminds me of myself as a little girl, but often it is just great to see different ways of being a tomboy. Maybe she’ll grow up into a butch, maybe not, it doesn’t matter. Just as it is good to experience that there’s been tomboys before me, it is also good to experience that there will be young tomboys after me as well.
