#Kaitlyn Joshua

Jonathan Nicholson at HuffPost:

On the first night of their national convention, Democrats highlighted three stories of how abortion restrictions after Roe v. Wade was overturned had hurt women and couples, hoping to underscore the importance of reproductive rights in one of the most poignant presentations Monday night. The message: Abortion bans put lives at risk. Giving the stage over to one couple and two women who had experienced the harm of abortion hurdles in the prime-time window of the convention’s first night shows how important Democrats see the issue for Kamala Harris’ presidential race.

An Economist/YouGov poll taken from Aug. 11 to Aug. 13 found that 75% of respondents said abortion rights were “very” or “somewhat” important to them, with 81% of female respondents feeling that way. Former President Donald Trump, who is campaigning while out on bail after his felony convictions in New York state, has said the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which tossed out Roe’s almost 50-year precedent, was good because it sent the issue of abortion to the states rather than preserving a national right. But many states have enacted total or near-total bans on abortion, and others have made abortions conditional on medical diagnoses that the woman’s life is in danger, which in turn has led to women being denied treatment until they were close to dying. “Because of Donald Trump, more than one in three women of reproductive age in America lives under an abortion ban. A second Trump term would rip away even more of our rights,” said Amanda Zurawski, who stood with her husband, Josh, on an otherwise darkened stage to discuss her experience in Texas.

[...] Kaitlyn Joshua, who was denied care in Louisiana, said she had to go to several medical facilities to confirm she was miscarrying. “Two emergency rooms sent me away. Because of Louisiana’s abortion ban, no one would confirm that I was miscarrying. I was in pain, bleeding so much my husband feared for my life,” she said. “No women should experience what I endured but too many have.” Hadley Duvall of Kentucky, the third speaker, said she had been raped by her stepfather and became pregnant at the age of 12. “I can’t imagine not having a choice. But today that’s the reality for many women and girls across the country because of Donald Trump’s abortion bans,” she said. Kentucky is listed as one of the 14 states that now have a total ban on abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

At the DNC Monday night, three women (alongside a man who was the husband of one of the speakers) who were harmed by their state’s abortion ban laws spoke the truths about how abortion bans harm women. #DNC2024 #DemConvention

When Kaitlyn Joshua found out she was pregnant in mid-August, she and her husband, Landon Joshua, were excited to have a second baby on the way. They have a 4-year-old daughter, and thought that was just the right age to help out with a younger sibling. At about six weeks pregnant, Joshua, 30, called a physicians' group in Baton Rouge. She wanted to make her first prenatal appointment there for around the eight-week mark, as she had in her first pregnancy. But Joshua says the woman on the line told her she was going to have to wait over a month. "They specifically said, 'We now no longer see women until they're at least 12 weeks,'" Joshua recalls. "And I said, 'Oh Lord. Is this because of what I think? And they said, 'Yes.'" She remembers the woman on the phone saying that since the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, and with what the woman called a gray area in Louisiana's law, the group was delaying the first prenatal appointment with patients. Joshua remembers her saying that many women miscarry in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and they didn't want to be liable for an investigation.

Joshua remembers her saying that many women miscarry in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and they didn't want to be liable for an investigation.

Louisiana's near-total abortion ban, which took effect on Aug. 1, has raised fears among physicians that they could potentially be investigated for treating a miscarriage, since the same treatments are also used for abortion.

God. The fucking cruelty. The inhumane cruelty of it.

When we do win back our right to bodily autonomy, forced birthers will forget these people. Some have absolutely no idea who these people are. But when you tell them you hope what they force on others gets forced on them, they gasp and say you're evil. Because they recognize that what they force on others is wrong, and they think they deserve better than their victims.

If you think the "abortion debate" is merely a difference of opinion, you haven't been paying attention.

Donald Trump is Killing Women

Men—especially conservative Christian men in the US—will never fully understand the unimaginable trauma women and girls in their lives may have endure when their bodies are in crisis like miscarriage. They can’t grasp the complexity of fertility and reproduction. Sure, they might catch a glimpse of the horror if the woman they love doesn’t survive the ordeal. But unless it happens to them, most of them have no clue. Their wives, daughters, and sisters might be walking around with a story they’ll never tell these men. And some women aren’t walking around at all—they’re dead, thanks to laws these men applaud.

These laws, the ones Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court Justices helped kill Rowe vs Wade, are literally killing women. Think that’s an exaggeration? Ask Amber Thurman or Candi Miller—oh wait, you can’t. They died in hospitals from complications that should have been treated but couldn’t be because doctors’ hands were tied by these insane bans. In states like theirs, women are forced to wait until they’re inches from death before doctors can intervene. And doctors, terrified of being thrown in jail, do nothing while women die. In Trump’s fake Fox News town hall for women, laughed about this.

Weather is comes to terminating a pregnancy with complications early or late, we’re not talking about reckless decisions. Late-term abortions are never spur-of-the-moment. They happen when something goes terribly, tragically wrong, when a pregnancy expected to result in a healthy child turns into a nightmare. Pete Buttigieg put it perfectly back in 2019: “Let’s put ourselves in the shoes of a woman in that situation. If it’s that late in your pregnancy, it’s to the point that you’ve been expecting to carry it to term. Families then get the most devastating medical news of their lifetime. That decision is not going to be made any better, medically or morally, because the government is dictating how that decision should be made.”

But here we are, and Trump and his follow assholes acting like they know better than the families facing these impossible choices. Trump keeps spouting nonsense like "everyone wanted this!" No, Hitler pig craps-his-pants. No, they didn’t. Most people don’t want some backwater state legislature dictating what happens to their bodies. And Trump’s claim that “legal scholars” wanted states to make these calls? Total bullshit.

At the DNC, we heard from Amanda Zurawski, Kaitlyn Joshua, and Hadley Duvall, three women who came close to dying because of these cruel laws. How many more will there be? How many more lives will Trump sacrifice for political points?

Every time abortion has been on the ballot in recent years, women have shown up to defend their rights. Republican’s are losing consistently because of their position. And it’s why Trump and the rest will lose. But it won’t happen unless you vote Harris/Walz and every Democrat down the ballot. Tell every woman (and the men that care about them to vote democrat. It’s the only way to stop Trump for good and we can get back to normal.

If you’re a father of a daughter, a husband of a wife, an uncle of a niece, and you vote for Trump, and someday your female family members finds herself in need of reproductive care and can’t get it because of the laws your state and she dies, you’re complicit. And you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. Think about that. Don’t be like the Trump voters that he deported.

Let’s stop this madness. Vote, speak out, and make sure we never let someone like Trump endanger women’s lives again.

Rainesford Stauffer at Teen Vogue:

It seems like Hadley Duvall is everywhere. In the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, Duvall was on a Zoom call hosted by Survivors for Harris; she signed her name, alongside 200 survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, to a full-page ad in The New York Times reminding voters that former President Donald Trump was found liable for sexual abuse; and appeared in an online debrief with Representative Fentrice Driskell. She’s campaigned in battleground states like Michigan and Arizona, traveling across the country with the Harris-Walz campaign’s Reproductive Freedom bus tour. Now, she’s returned to where this whole thing began.

On October 24, Duvall headed to Henderson, Kentucky, a neighboring town to where she grew up, for a meet-and-greet for the Harris-Walz campaign. Duvall’s jam-packed past few months as a surrogate for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign wasn’t something she could’ve dreamed of a few years ago, and certainly not when she was growing up in Owensboro, where she spent her teen years longing for anonymity. Duvall’s stepfather began sexually abusing her at the age of five, and eventually impregnated her when she was 12 years old, a horrifying story that the now 22-year-old has only opened up about over the past few years. In her small community, everyone knew about the abuse she’d endured. So, telling her story on the national stage was certainly not in Duvall’s plans, particularly when she had been so eager to leave home, escaping the spotlight a small town can shine on you.

But in 2022, shortly after Roe v. Wade was overturned, Duvall couldn’t stay silent. She shared a photo of her 7th grade self on social media, opening up about why losing the federal right to an abortion impacted her directly. While Duvall had a miscarriage after becoming pregnant from her abuser and didn’t require an abortion at that time, she couldn’t stop thinking about were all the people — people like her — whose choices had been stripped away from them. Duvall opened up about her story even more publicly in a 2023 ad for Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear as he campaigned against an opponent who, at one time, supported the state’s abortion ban that doesn’t allow exceptions for victims of rape or incest. “This is to you, Daniel Cameron,” Duvall said, looking directly into the camera and addressing Beshear’s opponent in the ad that is credited by some with impacting the outcome of the governor’s race.

“I’m really passionate about helping other survivors and other victims and just doing what I can to help the people who go through what I went through,” Duvall told the Kentucky Lantern at the time. Suddenly, Duvall was a political figure. What started as a need to share her story to help other abuse victims grew quickly into something she never really intended. In fact, at one point, she was adamant about not being political. Where she grew up, she says, you don’t talk about politics, you don’t talk about religion, and everything is kept quiet. “I honestly have never thought I would be this political, but it's like — everything in life is political,” she says. Now, she’s been profiled in The Washington Post, has been the namesake of a proposed amendment to add rape and incest exceptions to Kentucky’s abortion ban (which died in committee), and spoke at the DNC alongside advocates Amanda Zurawski and Kaitlyn Joshua. At a town hall with Harris and Oprah Winfrey, Duvall received a standing ovation as she talked about the “other Hadleys” who might not have access to abortion or reproductive care.

[...] Duvall has grabbed the nation’s ear, but many young people across the country have also shared their stories, advocated for change, and organized support networks for their peers. In red states like Nebraska, young people have lobbied for abortion access and spoken to representatives. Others, particularly young people of color, are organizing for abortion on the ground, including hosting workshops on reproductive justice, working for reproductive health care on campuses, and working with abortion funds and youth-led organizations.

And abortion is an issue young people are voting on. Currently, 41 states have abortion bans at some point during a pregnancy and a potential national abortion ban has been promoted by some Republicans. In a survey from KFF, about two in five of surveyed young voters said abortion was their top concern, with a separate poll from Change Research showing three in four young voters surveyed believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, and that views on abortion are a “vote motivator” for over half of young voters. As president, Harris says she will not allow a national abortion ban to become law, and if Congress passes a bill to restore reproductive freedom (though it seems unlikely to do so), she’ll sign it. Harris has also supported ending the filibuster in the Senate in order to bring back protections for abortion.

In contrast, Trump celebrated overturning Roe v. Wade, believes that abortion should be left up to the states, and has flip-flopped repeatedly on whether he’d enact a national abortion ban. This year, up to 10 states will pose ballot measures to voters that could expand or protect abortion access, including Nebraska, Florida, and Arizona. “It's not just abortion,” says Julian Bernhardt, the 22-year-old communications director for Arizona Students’ Association (ASA). ASA has endorsed Proposition 139, which Arizona for Abortion Access says would establish a fundamental right to abortion. (The Harris campaign’s bus tour is focused on battleground states, including Arizona.) Arizona currently has a 15-week ban, which Bernhardt says stands to impact all of the state’s residents. “Reproductive justice is something that impacts young people significantly,” Bernhardt says. “It doesn't matter how you identify, it's going to impact you.”

Teen Vogue and The 19th News had an interview with Hadley Duvall, the woman who was forced to carry her baby after becoming pregnant from her abuser. Duvall had no intention of becoming a political figure, but the disastrous overturning of Roe changed that calculus.
