Ken Paxton is a massive piece of shit who worked with anti-abortion activists to find abusive men willing to sue over their ex’s abortions. I guess that’s my way of saying: if Ken Paxton got you pregnant, hit me up at tips@abortioneveryday.com

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

They are just reaching for anything they can to punish women.

A teenager in North Carolina has been arrested for assault with a "deadly weapon" after taking abortion medication. @kylietcheung.bsky.social has been doing such an incredible job with these pieces on post-Dobbs criminalization

The misinformation going around right now about Todd Blanche is burying the real threat—and squandering an opportunity to mobilize voter outrage against it

There’s another important story getting buried in the brouhaha over a “national ban.” On the call, Blanche said the DOJ is putting policies in place so “prosecutors will no longer be able to use the FACE Act” to go after clinic attackers—even after Trump leaves the White House

I was so pissed last night, watching viral videos claim that Blanche promised to pass a national abortion ban. That's not true, and it's not helpful. Because what he actually said is super dangerous, but getting buried

Listen to Todd Blanche—Trump’s nominee for AG—tell faith leaders that the Justice Dept is working with the White House to stop the shipping of abortion pills into banned states. “We will have victory, victory will be soon, and it will be permanent,” he said.

While Miller’s abuse, Clancy’s trial, and Smith’s tradwife back-pedaling may seem like very different stories, they’re all connected by one common thread: the outraged response from women, especially mothers.

In a moment when American families need politicians to make life better and more affordable, Republicans are out there passing the policy equivalent of upskirt pics.

There's a lot of conservative excitement about this new 'study'—the right-wing rags are already all over it. Please know it's published in an anti-abortion journal by anti-abortion authors—including a concierge-medicine doctor who does body contouring and sells “anti-aging” supplements. 🤡
