This shit is so extreme, even four of the six anti-aboboobs on the subcommittee REFUSED to vote on it. The proposal isn’t dead, but this is a still a huge win for pro-abobo folks in South Carolina and we hope to see this harmful AF bill crash and burn 💖

🎉 THE GOOD: Anti-Abortion Scheming Hits Pause In The South

Yesterday South Carolina shot down the country’s most ultra-extreme anti-abortion bill. The one that could’ve sent people who get abortions to DECADES IN PRISON and also endanger IVF and IUDs HIT A WALL, BABY!

The bill's real agenda? To separate abortion care from “essential healthcare" and intimidate patients and medical providers with UNNECESSARY political interference. The reality? You can’t make an exception for every instance, and redefining "abortion" won’t change the fact that PEOPLE NEED ABORTIONS

This manipulative bill cosplays as pro-reproductive health while exempting certain life-saving procedures (think early inductions, C-sections for ectopic pregnancies, etc.) from the state’s definition of “abortion" and the state's 20 week abortion ban.

Women on Web is keeping reproductive freedom alive and WE STAN. The badass Canadian nonprofit is hooking up people in ALL 50 states (& across 20 countries) with mifepristone, no matter how many clowns try to block access. Enjoy this video of Founder Dr. Gomperts reminding us of the power of mife! 💖💖

💌 Access WITHOUT The BS
Women On Web are really on their power move shit! No ID, no red tape, no judgment. Just abortion access. Fill out a quick form, get your prescription, and receive it discreetly at home. Sliding-scale pricing? YUP. Multilingual support? You got it.

And while they’re trying to kill it, they’re also pushing their own barely-less-awful ban—because in South Carolina, extremism is apparently a competitive sport.

Rape and incest exceptions? Gone. Access for minors without parental notification? See ya. Anti-abortion groups are panicking not because they care about patients, but because this bill blows up their whole “We just want to help women!!!!” routine.

When they can’t overturn the vote, they just slip in new barriers and hope no one notices—because respecting the will of the people is apparently the one medical intervention they truly oppose.

⛔Ohio Voted. Lawmakers Said “Love That For You, But No.”
Ohioans wrote abortion rights into the constitution, and lawmakers still came back like “Aw, cute how you think democracy is real.”

Anti-abortion goons brought that one, debunked junk study to the party like “look, science!!!” while actual doctors are standing there with decades of data wondering if everyone in the statehouse forgot how reading works.

🧪Same Fake Science, Different Day
The sponsors say it’s about “dangerous meds,” but funny how the only drug they’re pearl-clutching over is mifepristone. Their proof?

If they get their way, every patient has to haul themselves to one of 13 clinics, because nothing heals the soul like lawmakers deciding your uterus needs a commute.

💊Why This Matters
Abortion healthcare deserves evidence, NOT questionable studies. Even if this lawsuit goes well, other states will STILL undermine the FACTS that prove mifepristone is indeed STILL SAFE. The FDA is sipping the Kool-aid, the ACLU just wants to know who’s spiking it with BS.

🕵What Are They Looking For?
Remember that fake ass “study” anti-abobo natal narcs cooked up to prove that mifepristone is unsafe? It's NOT peer reviewed AND is denounced by 260+ researchers. The ACLU is suing for information along with deets on their communications with anti-abobo orgs & politicians

PLUS! MAGA billionaire Peter Thiel is funding a tradwife pregnancy app wrapped up in some shiny MAHA misinformation packaging – and your Buzzkills have all the info you need to stay safe.
