Ffs, email below from an American lefty fundraising committee:
"Friend,
We just got news from the U.S. Supreme Court that the court rejected a challenge to a Kentucky law requiring doctors to describe ultrasound images and play fetal heartbeat sounds to abortion seekers.
The state of Ketucky argued that the law is a part of “informed consent process” and "does nothing more than require that women who are considering an abortion be provided with information that is truthful, non-misleading and relevant to their decision of whether to have an abortion."
Kentucky’s law is wrong — but it’s a reality that we’ve lived with in Texas for far too long.
In Texas, the state requires abortion seekers to undergo a sonogram, along with recieving state mandated paperwork about medical risks and adoption options (and some of this information is false) before getting an abortion. Even worse, a person is required to wait 24 hours after receiving the sonogram and paperwork to have the abortion.
Not only are these laws a violation of one’s autonomy to make a personal decision about their lives and their bodies — but today's Supreme Court decision is setting the tone for the fight we’re up against in 2020: Keeping Roe v. Wade upheld and protected.
Donate $20 today so we can give our Changemakers the tools to organize across Texas as they fight to ensure the right and access to have an abortion is protected.
How hard do you have to work to completely alienate and enrage your actual target audience?! I've written an outraged reply but will sleep on it. I wish I was better at not flipping my lid about this stuff, it means my response is a little too foaming at the mouth to sound credible. But fuck, in one fell swoop they've entirely excised the history of the struggle for women's reproductive rights.
