I wrote this with the incomparable Carrie Baker. I believe in the 14th Amendment - that guarantees rights to "all persons born" not super rights for the so called unborn msmagazine.com/2024/10/21/pro…

New Yorkers Please turn your ballots over & vote YES on Prop 1. Falsehoods have been promoted about what it will do. For what it will really do (enshrine appropriate, inclusive anti-discrimination principles into our state constitution) you can go here nycbar.org/.../prop-1-ny-…

Are you a New Yorker? It is vital to turn your ballot over and vote Yes on Prop 1 (and nix on 2-6) msmagazine.com/2024/09/18/new… Let's make sure our State constitution prohibits discrimination against you and all of the people you love!

For the majority of women abortion has little to do with #motherhood - by which I mean that the majority of women who have abortions are already mothers. This includes the growing number of mothers that #abortion bans in Texas and Georgia have killed. nytimes.com/2024/09/22/us/…

Former President Donald J. Trump, speaking on Thursday at a campaign said that “if I don’t win this election,” then “the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss.” Let’s be clear this IS #antisemitism. It is not denouncing it.

New Yorkers: don't miss your chance this November to ensure that all New Yorkers, including those with the capacity for pregnancy, are protected by our state constitution & not denied their rights by legislators/ policy makers/hospitals. Vote @yesonprop1ny msmagazine.com/2024/09/18/new…

Undoubtedly Thurman’s death was the result of GA's abortion ban. ProPublica: "it took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate"  Thurman also faced “double jeopardy” as a Black woman Remember Kira Dixon Johnson Died after giving birth & being left more than 10 hours to bleed out

@ABC - why are your otherwise capable moderators allowing Trump more time?

Thank you to @MsMagazine. And thank you to Jeanne Flavin, Prof of Sociology, Fordham U. & Mary Mason, retired DOJ constitutional lawyer, Adjunct Prof. American U. Washington College of Law - for their wise and generous advance reading and advising.

Post Dobbs and post-DNC, are we finally a country that will get real about #pregnancy and #abortion? msmagazine.com/2024/08/26/dem…

I’m so confused - is Project 2025 a typo? I think its Trump- connected authors meant Project 1525. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

It’s always been about pregnancy @pregnancyjustice There's no need for an abortion without pregnancy; the majority of people who have abortions r mothers (got pregnant & gave birth) & it's the humans capable of pregnancy denied care by anti-abortion laws nytimes.com/2024/06/24/us/…

On this Juneteenth-I wonder again why - in a country founded on the idea that it was OK for some people to own and control the lives of other people that the decision in Dobbs was so surprising to so many.

in addressing the important point that child removal has negative impacts refers to a study describing "fetuses" that "would have an increased risk of exposure to drugs in the womb." A risk of "exposure"? What does that actually mean? Not Harm. Probably not even qualtifiable.

in a recent NYTimes story about risks of alcohol use (to all people) the meaning of "risk" is explained. Stories about pregnancy & drug use rarely do & as a result, myths of significant or inevitable harm continue. For example . .

nytimes.com/2024/06/16/hea… I am a fan of @JanHoffmanNYT who has for a long time consistently done unusually fair and respectful reporting about the issue of state regulation of pregnant people and drugs. In this story . . .

The war on drugs & the war on abortion have far too much in common. Laws prohibiting alcohol, drugs and abortion inevitably fail. Let's declare peace on people and respond to health care issues through public health policies not criminalization. msmagazine.com/2024/06/07/war…

The Florida decision makes clear how abortion is used as a front for writing women and all those with the capacity for pregnancy out of the State's constitution msmagazine.com/2024/04/12/flo…
