🗑️Parental Notification Laws are Trash
These laws ONLY exist to make it harder for people to access abortion. “Parental rights” just means someone else has the final say on what happens over your body.

So for now, minors still need a permission slip for bodily autonomy.

🗳️Reminder: Missourians VOTED FOR ABORTION
Literally. Last year voters approved a ballot proposition to GUARANTEE abortion rights. The judge in this case didn’t rule whether this law is unconstitutional, just that the folks who brought it COULDN’T because their funder is based in California 🙄

The judge said the non-profit that brought the case doesn’t have standing, even though their WHOLE MISSION is to help minors access care. Make it make sense.

These anti-abortion organizations’ receipts are about as clear as swamp water and the harm can be real.
The good news? It looks like California is standing their ground and refusing to sip the Kool-Aid.

⚖️What’s At Stake?
If the courts side with these organizations, it could turn any quack science-misinformed fuckery into protected speech and open the door to misleading information within medical advertising.

3. did not provide conclusive evidence of anything. THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD, EVERYONE! Actually, there was ONE study done with the full spectrum of protocols enacted, and that was ended EARLY due to concerns for participant safety. EMBARRASSING!

They're throwing a full-on tantrum and arguing that the California Attorney General is "silencing" and "censoring" their free speech.

🃏They Took A Scam To Court
Guess who's back? The fake science scam squad. Two anti-abobo, bible-humping organizations pulled up to the Ninth Circuit last week begging for the right to advertise "abortion pill reversal" (reminder: not a thing) in California.

🍿Bodily bureaucrats are losing their collective minds over the FDA’s approval of a generic abortion pill. Some anti-abortion lawmakers are so MIFFED that they are calling for department heads to roll. Grabbing the popcorn to watch the mifepristone man-baby meltdown. bit.ly/43buxRM

It’s #SerotoninSunday!
📋Planned Parenthood is fighting back against MO's feral demand for PATIENT RECORDS. They’re suing to stop it cuz NO ONE remembers checking a box that said “I’m totally chill with a bunch of cop-brained, anti-abortion lawmakers having my private medical records.” bit.ly/3Wvhqal

But Joshy, we get the big feewings, when you were just getting used to a department that caters to your every theocratic move, it can feel frustrating when actual science gets through. 😢

😤Why So Mad at Science?
Approving generic forms of existing medications is everyday stuff for the FDA. If the drug makers prove their medication is the same as a name brand, they HAVE to approve it… BY LAW.

And the legal challenge against it is still in motion. All, of course, driven by lies, manipulated data, and sheer Christian nationalist will.

⚔️Access v. Attacks
This approval is good news, but it won’t pull the breaks on the crusade to ban abortion medication. The zygote zealots have already successfully put pressure on the FDA to “review” the safety of a drug they literally JUST approved (lol).
