Yes, abortion access is a matter of national security, as it affects our ability to recruit & retain the Nation's best.

Good read on the unique challenges women face when fulfilling their oath to support & defend our Constitution.

Why do we have Black Maternal Health Week?

The latest Texas DSHS stats don't lie: While TX had the lowest proportion of women receiving 1st trimester care nationally in 2020, it's much lower for Black TX women.

US: 76.1%
TX: 67.7%
Non-Hispanic Black women in TX: 60.1%

Those with an 'agenda' = women who want to listen to their doctors and not have medical decisions forced on them by partisan state supreme court justices--the way TX Justices Blacklock, Devine, and Bland (Jane Bland) ruled Kate Cox didn't qualify for a medical exception.

The reference to “buying a bus ticket” is intentional. It speaks to who they think gets abortions—poor women who make poor choices.

It’s ignorant and insulting.

We forget how re-traumatizing this experience can be for the women telling their stories—of how they lost a wanted pregnancy and how leaders needlessly put their lives at risk.

In awe of their continued courage they display only in the hope of helping other women.

Last week I wrote about the FindOutPAC and its goal to unseat three anti-abortion Texas Supreme Court justices.

“They're about to see what happens when you f--k around. You find out.'

All seven AZ Supreme Court Justices serving today were appointed by a Republican governor.

Today's reminder:
- the fight for reproductive freedoms must include the state supreme courts
- Republicans can't be trusted to protect IVF & birth control

The Texas Supreme Court is also to blame.

TX had a 6-week abortion ban *before* Roe fell, and their Kate Cox ruling showed the country how to make medical exceptions meaningless.

That's why @findoutpac aims to unseat three GOP TSC Justices in Nov: Jimmy, John, and Jane.

'The Kate Cox factor is real. People are upset...as is demonstrated by what's happened in Alabama, IVF & birth control are also on the ballot, so we've got to show up' - Gina Ortiz Jones on the motivation behind FindOutPAC and their fight for reproductive rights in TX

Thanks, Morgan Fairchild! The Kate Cox factor is real, and now Texans know the TX Supreme Court is a threat to IVF & birth control. We have to do what we can do, and we can absolutely unseat Justices Jimmy Blacklock, John Devine, and Jane Bland (@courthouse_mom) in November. FindOutPAC

Angry about being under attack? Well, we know we aren’t hopeless or helpless in Texas.

I’m up next on MSNBC with Ayman sharing FindOutPAC’s mission to hold three GOP TX Supreme Court Justices accountable in November. Join us: findoutpac.com.

GOP Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine is the most vulnerable Republican running statewide in Texas in November.

He’s a walking ethics violation and only won his primary by 16K votes.

We can flip that seat in November.

If the student was younger than 17 years old, then it wasn't a 'sexual relationship,' it was sexual assault and a crime. And, San Antonio Express-News should call it that.

Damn right we’re excited about voting him and his buddies Jimmy Blacklock and Jane Bland (Jane Bland) off the bench in November.

Texas IVF doctors & patients are right to fear how the GOP TX Supreme Court would rule on IVF cases, and birth control for that matter.

We have to do what we can: vote out TX Supreme Court Justices Jimmy Blacklock, John Devine, and Jane Bland in November.

80%+ of Texas women have inaccurate knowledge of abortion ban exceptions.

The GOP judiciary helped foster this, which is why FindOutPAC aims to unseat GOP TX Supreme Court Justices Jimmy Blacklock, John Devine, and Jane Bland in November.
