<Kate claims the doctor shook his head and told her: "You've got yourself into a predicament. This is your miracle baby; it would be so much easier if you just have this baby.">

of course, there are anti-abortion campaigners who believe women are reckless and indifferent to pregnancy and *expect* doctors to give them an abortion at the last minute because its convenient. they are wrong, and that is not what happened in kate’s case.

i don’t know kate, but here’s what i imagine:

*it’s never easy or convenient to take time off work to go to a doctor, or to be unwell for any period of time
*it’s never easy or convenient to be pregnant — morning sickness is real, and hyper-emesis can kill. it’s not always convenient for bosses if women are in early stages of pregnancy
*kate missed a blood test appointment — for work reasons
*it’s never easy or convenient to be heavily pregnant
*it’s never easy or convenient to give birth or care for a new born

how many of the f****s in the ALP (or politics generally) who approved the internal review line
<"The party would be wise to reconnect with people of faith on social justice issues>
think social justice is forcing women back to work or workplace training /onto the unliveable jobstart when their children are young?

<<A decision announced by Gillard on the day of her now famous misogyny speech in 2012 cut back the amount of assistance paid to single parents, forcing them onto lower benefits when their children reached the age of eight instead of the previous cut-off age of 16.>> (SMH talking about raising of the age again, in 2023) — (to be fair, gillard was only accelerating a policy introduced by john howard)

WOMEN DO NOT HAVE BABIES SO THEY CAN BLUDGE ON WELFARE
WELFARE SUCKS for everyone, poverty sucks for everyone

we should stop treating children like pawns. children are people. children flourish if they are wanted, if their parents are well, and if they are not living in poverty

if you think women should be baby farms for the convenience of oligarchs or to appease your imaginary friend, you can 🤬 right off.

we might not have returned to the grisly days of backyard abortions, but it seems the current system of legal abortions is still paternalistic, and religious right factions are influencing policy

this is the story of one woman’s journey…

" ... a Texas police officer used Flock to perform a nationwide search of more than 83,000 ALPR cameras while looking for a woman who had had an abortion. Abortion is almost entirely illegal in Texas but law enforcement reportedly looked at cameras in states such as Washington and Illinois where abortion is legal."
“Texas is the land of freedom,”
- Governor Greg Abbott

"To force a brain-dead woman to endure months of intensive care to keep her fetus alive makes a mockery of medicine and medical ethics. Smith’s family’s wishes should override the state’s interest in forcing her dead body to incubate a fetus.
... Somehow, the people responsible for this abhorrent situation have avoided any ethical responsibility. Georgia legislators passed the six-week abortion ban and Gov. Brian Kemp signed it into law. Will they pay for Smith’s – and potentially her fetus’ – enormous hospital bills? Will they apologize for the suffering they are causing a grieving family?" #Georgia #abortion usnews.com/opinion/articles/20

Across the country, Republican lawmakers have been working to undermine or altogether undo the will of the voters -- by making it harder to pass amendments and laws through citizen-led initiatives.
In #Missouri, the 2025 legislative session was dominated by Republican lawmakers trying to reverse two major measures that voters had put on the ballot and approved just months before;
one made #abortion in the state legal again, while the other created an employee #sickleave requirement.
GOP lawmakers in #Alaska and #Nebraska also have moved to roll back sick leave benefits that voters approved last year,
while legislators in #Arizona are pushing new restrictions on abortion access, despite voters six months ago approving protections

At the same time, Republican leaders in #Florida, #Utah, #Montana, #Arkansas, #Oklahoma, #Arizona, #Ohio, #NorthDakota and #SouthDakota have approved efforts to restrict citizen-led ballot initiatives or are considering measures to do so,
-- essentially trying to make it harder for voters to change laws outside legislatures.

In some cases, legislators aren’t just responding to measures that voters approved;

they’re acting shortly after citizen-led efforts failed but came too close for comfort,
such as an abortion-rights initiative in Florida,
which in November fell just short of the 60% of votes needed to pass
and loosen the state’s ban on the procedure.

The automatic license plate reading camera technology made by Flock is supposed to prevent carjackings or find missing people. @404mediaco says in one Texas case, it was used to track down a woman who was believed to have had a self-administered abortion. 83,000 cameras were used in the search, including ones in states where abortion is legal. The sheriff’s office in Johnson County says that the woman’s family were concerned for her health and that this was the sole reason they were tracking her. “The idea that the police are actively tracking the location of women they believe have had self-administered abortions under the guise of ‘safety’ does not make me feel any better about this kind of surveillance,” says Eve Galperin, director of cybersecurity at digital rights organization the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

404 Media · A Texas Cop Searched License Plate Cameras Nationwide for a Woman Who Got an AbortionThe sheriff said the woman self-administered the abortion and her family were concerned for her safety, so authorities searched through Flock cameras. Experts are still concerned that a cop in a state where abortion is illegal can search cameras in others where it's a human right.

Red State Voters Approved Progressive Measures. GOP Lawmakers Are Trying to Undermine Them.

In the wake of ballot measures that increased abortion access and improved sick leave for workers, a coordinated effort is unfolding across the country to restrict direct democracy — and shift power to partisan legislatures.

Instead of suing the indiv. plaintiff—which rarely works—target the law’s structure. A const. challenge citing “chilling effect” on rights (e.g. privacy, travel) is possible. Anti-SLAPP laws in some states help if the suit aims 2 intimidate. In court, use counterclaims 2 defend your rights directly. Goal: delegitimize the system, not the person.
