1. I hear that all the time and I don't really think it's going to convince anybody who is

anti-choice.

They don't care if women die from abortions. In fact, i think it is one of their intended outcomes.

The cruelty is the point with these people.

2. Exactly.

If a woman dies from a back alley abortion then these religion zealots will just say she got what she deserved.

3. Sad, but true...nt

8. It is about controlling women, making them second class citizens again.

Women dying is part of the lesson.

5. MD rethug gov Hogan is withholding 3. 5 mil

Allocated to train midwives, physician's assistants, and nurse practitioners, under the guise that only Md's should do them. Not only do most MD counties not gave abortion services, but MD will see influx fr surrounding states. My other concern, if women take abortion pills, and they have incomplete abortions, how many will be too scared to go to er.
Back in '71, I had to go out of the country for abortion and tubal, not only do many women not have the finances, for out of country, many can't even afford across state lines

12. Actually the abortion pill is pretty safe

If taken as directed it is as safe as taking Tylenol.

"Yet, mifepristone and misoprostol meet many of the FDA’s criteria for being available over the counter. They are safe, have no risk of overdose, are not addictive, and people are already using them safely on their own in many parts of the world. The possibility of an over-the-counter medication abortion model would involve the medications being available without a prescription."

Many countries already offer them over the counter. It is one of the safer methods of abortion.

There are several European charities offering American women abortion pills by mail for free.

6. Back in Hippocrates' Day, Herbal Concoctions Used to Induce Abortions Were Called Pessaries.

And the Hippocratic Oath forbids them. Hippocrates would have fit right in with today's "pro-life" evangelicals.

7. To be fair....

Bette tweets things she finds on Facebook or retweets other's tweets. She doesn't create these herself, but she does seem to find the good ones and gets them out to her thousands of followers.

For that she does get a great big 👍and a round of applause.

9. Correct, nothing wrong with that. Twitter is all about spreading memes to show unity. I do it here.

90% of my OP's are passing on good memes from Twitter. I am not bothered about passing along progressive memes via sharing tweets.

It is one way to get around the billionaire controlled M$M IGNORING US. DISINFORMING US. MISINFORMING US.

Bette is not bothered about passing along progressive memes via sharing tweets. She gets it. No one should be bothered about passing along progressive memes they like and that are factual and support the progressive cause.

It is ALL about the number of eyes that see these memes. We can reach Tens of Millions of folks with our messaging in hours if not minutes using twitter correctly.

It is WHY Musk wants to buy Twitter and control it. It is WHY TFG is so angry about losing access to the platform. It is a powerful tool that works.

The Democratic Party still NEEDS to LEARN how to message more assertively. This is one established area we can start to CONTROL our message, debunk and embarrass the RW asswipes, and reach and teach younger folks who need to be taught the TRUTH.

WE NEED Twitter.

Thanks for the post pointing this out!

10. Actually, she doesn't do any of that. Her social media team does, though.

[SergeStorms]

11. I need a social Media team.

Then I won't have to lower myself looking at all the crap that's in the way of the good stuff.

I don't think I could afford it though.
