Did you watch John Oliver talk about abortion last night on HBO? It’s must-see (and he’s the best).
And it’s an important topic, especially if you’d hoped the abortion access matter was settled by the Supreme Court long ago and haven’t been paying attention to what’s going on in states across the country.
Because things like this are happening:
- Alabama GOP Makes Another Push to Regulate Abortion Clinics Like Sex Offenders
- Indiana Republicans Push Abortion Ban for Fetal Anomalies
- Kentucky’s Senate Republicans Advance Forced Ultrasound Bill
Abortion regulated like a sex offender?! Requiring birth when fetal anomalies exist?! Forced Ultrasound?! (And if you’re picturing the cute ultrasound with the little wand on the belly, think again. Have you heard of transvaginal ultrasounds? They’re not as simple or fun, especially not if you’re required to get one during an already traumatizing situation, like seeking an abortion after rape.)
And on March 2 the Supreme Court will be hearing Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, a case out of Texas (remember the one Wendy Davis filibustered a few years back?), and the outcome will impact Americans for a very long time.
