Anti-birth control content IS NOT about empowerment.
It’s a mix of grifters selling BS products, people insisting negative side effects equate to danger,
and lies dressed up as wellness tips.
Whether they’re selling supplements or shame, the goal is the same: Less choice and more control.

*whispers* this is also true about criminalizing people for self-managed abortion later in pregnancy
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

March 10 is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.
With increasing attacks on abortion and the people who provide them, we talked to abortion providers across the U.S. about what they want their communities to know and what keeps them motivated to continue the work.

that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this
