Finally! A bill to expand abortion care! This Maryland bill would allow more medical professionals to perform care and it makes insurance companies cover the procedure without co-pays or deductibles, reducing the expense for women and pregnant people.
“It is time that we all see gender as a spectrum instead of two sets of opposing ideals. We should stop defining each other by what we are not and start defining ourselves by who we are.” - Emma Watson
At age thirteen, 53% of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to 78% by the time girls reach seventeen. Social media and false standards play a huge role in these numbers. We must do better.

- That was an insulting, misguided, mistaken & cowardly speech. Gaslighting is a tactic used to gain more power & makes a victim question their reality. How dare you?! Dr. Ford is a survivor & she should’ve have come FIRST! This sends a message. We will remember.

Men, when did you benefit from not being forced into fatherhood? How did it help your career? What were you free to pursue instead of becoming a teen dad??
I’m sick of women having to tell our abortion stories & beg for our humanity.
What about men’s abortion stories 🧐

As feminist voters we refuse to forget this moment of raging disappointment in our senate. We may have lost the battle to vote no on Kavanaugh, but this fight is far from over. Watch out for women this November!
If a 16-year-old wanted to adopt a child, the government wouldn’t allow it. She isn’t done with her education, she can’t financially support herself, and she isn’t a legal adult. But if she gets pregnant, the government can ban her from getting an

Despite massive bomb threats after being targeted by Libs of TikTok and Riley Gaines, Maine has just passed LD227 out of committee - a bill that makes Maine a sanctuary state for those seeking abortions or transgender care.
It will now go to the full House floor!

It’s okay to want birth control for any reason. It’s okay to want an abortion just because you don’t want to be pregnant. You don’t need to explain the decisions about YOUR body to anyone.

Period poverty is a major economic justice issue. Period symptoms and a lack of access to products are linked to missed days of school and work, resulting in education and wage loss. We must end the pink tax and make products accessible and affordable!
