Apparently the pope just came out staunchly against surrogacy.

Jesus was a surrogate baby.

I thought I was writing a mermaid romance. I think I'm writing dystopian fiction instead.

I believe Kamala- despite every word she has ever spoken on the matters- is actually deeply pro-Palestine, pro-trans & overall a progressive hero, because I understand that when democrats say repugnant reactionary things while campaigning they are actually lying! which is good & normal for so-called democratic elections!!!!! if you listen to the gnomes who live inside my walls you'll understand her real values, which she'll totally pinky promise act upon once you reward her lies & elect her! you dumb third party voters would understand this if u payed attention in civics class 💅💅💅

I just watched John Oliver's video on abortion rights and it was nice to see that my favorite game of "let's see how long it takes for 'pro-life' people to admit they hate women" is still relevant.

It only took a couple of comments for anti-choicers to devolve into "women need to keep their legs shut." Absolutely no blame directed towards men who impregnate women because as we all know pregnancy only requires one person. Also, it was awesome seeing people defend the fact that anti-choicers don't support social welfare policies because "why should we have to pay for the consequences of you opening your legs?"

Monday, October 14, 2024 - Tim Walz

Today the Governor spent his time in Baltimore and the surrounding suburbs door knocking for our campaign, the Alsobrooks Senate campaign, and the ballot measure Question 1. Supporting Question 1 establishes the right to reproductive freedom in the Maryland Constitution. In a post-Roe world, we know this issue is top of mind for many voters around the country. After 10 hours of door knocking today, the Governor feels confident that the people of Maryland will protect their mothers, sisters, daughters, and granddaughters.

Trump's most famous promise was to make Mexico pay for his squalid and corrupt border wall.

Amount collected from Mexico: 0 centavos.

Trump did give tax breaks to billionaires while giving COVID-19 to much of the rest of the country.

Trump's promises are as worthless as degrees from Trump University.

Lula to pull Brazil from international anti-abortion group

Brazil’s Foreign Affairs Ministry on Tuesday announced its intention to withdraw from the Geneva Consensus, an anti-abortion declaration signed in 2020 by conservative governments.

The document’s original signatories include Brazil (under Jair Bolsonaro), the U.S. (under Donald Trump), and another 32 countries — some of which have a checkered record on human rights, as is the case of Belarus, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.

The declaration emphasized that “in no case should abortion be promoted as a method of family planning” and that “any measures or changes related to abortion within the health system can only be determined at the national or local level according to the national legislative process.”

Despite Challenges, Clinical Research Must Include Women of Reproductive Age

HealthyWomen hosted a congressional briefing, “Women in Clinical Trials: The Challenge of Research During the Reproductive Years,” on June 1, 2023.Clinical trials have long been focused on white men, leaving women woefully underrepresented. Lack of diversity in clinical trials means that healthcare providers (HCPs) often don’t have enough data about how certain conditions affect women or what…

literally insane to look at the draft of my nina zenik hell fic i started... a year and a half ago and realise how much tony gilroy and diego luna and i have been swapping the extended-side-character-backstory writing blunt like. i was like hmm i think we should break this character’s canon backstory in order to refill it by exploring this one dissonance in accents to have them be born in a totally different place to canon in order to really get those matryroshka doll onion layers of immigration, diaspora, dispossession, the refugee experience and they were like yeah. i think we should break open this genocide metaphor to talk about the lived experience of being a genocide survivor. i think we should break canon to make canon. i think we should talk about who the fuck is making these weapons.

Good morning everyone this is your reminder that science is essential and difficult and lifesaving and inspiring and artistic and challenging and we should be listening to scientists and basing our policies on that, not on people’s random beliefs because science applies to *everyone* and is non-negotiable and urgent
