One of my favourite sci-fi short stories is Harry Harrison's - Arm Of The Law. It's in the public domain. I've sometimes thought I'd like to do an updated version, as it's not aged well.
Obviously, I wouldn't put it out as my own, more of a homage project, but I've never got the time.

#ChoicesAnthology isn't just about reproductive horror or crimes committed against people of marginalized genders

It's about reproductive rage, resistance, vengeance, and even, in the sweetest of moments, hope

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 6d

#ChoicesAnthology is the collective scream of people of marginalized genders facing the control and theft of our reproductive rights, filled with stories of terror, tragedy, resistance, and revenge

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa.

The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

For movie night, I threw on this classic, remember the good ol' days. Americans and Canadians, during WWII, form an SF brigade for an important mission. They butt heads at first, but soon come together to do what our two countries do best: kill fascists.
