Half of the abortions in Kansas are performed on people from out of state. It has long been a reliable access point. But the things that have made that possible could soon change. If they do, the Midwestern abortion desert would be bigger than France.

Kansas has become a beacon for abortion access. Next year, that could disappear.

You know I always made fun of my dad for having a wood stockpile made to withstand the apocalypse. As per usual, Charles has had the last laugh.

Some people have meetingless Fridays, and others send absolutely unhinged emails about em dashes to the editorial staff. (The latter is me.)

"We’re not the only ones like this. There are others in our situation, and they’re not all coming out of this with their lives." @shefalil spoke to four of the women suing Texas after they were denied abortions even as their lives were in danger.

Texas denied abortions to these women when their lives were in danger. Now they’re suing the state.

Though speaking out requires them to relive losing their wanted pregnancies, four plaintiffs told The 19th they're doing it because they know they're "not the only ones like this."

I have a fantasy of being able to go to potlucks again, and with every new dish ask, "Who made THIS?" and proceed to effusively compliment everyone's cooking.

Dress codes are often unevenly applied against girls and students of color. Now activists and students are pushing back, @NadraKareem reports.

Lawsuits, complaints and protests are upending sexist school dress codes

I finally finished this season of Euphoria, and as a theater kid, I have to say the most unrealistic part of the whole thing is that the whole school showed up to a play.

I'm thinking about this more than ever in a year that so many have experienced profound loss. May you find comfort within yourself when you need it and know how to ask for it from others. I'm missing her. And that longing will never leave. It's in my bones, just as she is.

26.2 done. The @austinmarathon was my first half, so it’s fitting that — over a decade later — it was my first full.

One day I will get @19thnews a sports reporter, but in the mean time, I recruit unsuspecting writers to fill in. And lemme tell you, @ChabeliH did a hell of a job with this one.

🧵My dream thread, on FIGURE SKATING: In 1924, figure skating was 1st winter sport to allow women to compete. It isn't until this #WinterOlympics though, that they will compete under "women," not "ladies." It's the last winter sport to make the change.

For years, anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers have gamed SEO to make sure that Google searches for abortion information surface their sites. After Roe v. Wade fell, abortion rights supporters are trying to up their online game. @jenniferagerson

Abortion rights supporters are trying to reduce barriers to access through search keywords

Anti-abortion activists have long dominated the online search strategy game, driving traffic to crisis pregnancy centers. Post-Roe, that’s starting to change.
