Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor of Boynton Beach claims the new law, which has been signed by Republican Governor Ron De Santis and is set to take effect on July 1, violates the religious freedom rights of Jews.

The lawsuit […] claims that the act “prohibits Jewish women from practicing their faith free of government intrusion and this violates their privacy rights and religious freedom.”

The lawsuit also argues that religious minorities in Florida will be harmed and that the law will threaten Jews “by imposing the laws of other religions upon Jews.”

…Nikki Fried, Florida’s Jewish Agriculture Commissioner, who is running to replace DeSantis, called the law “a despicable and disgusting assault on women.”

“It’s an insult to our dignity and our ability to make these deeply personal decisions about our own lives, and it will have a devastating impact on the physical and emotional health of women across Florida,” she said in a statement.

To those devastated by the decision made in the US regarding Roe V Wade, know that I do have your back and my heart goes out to you all.

This decision has taken away the rights from many. Regardless of your thoughts on the matter, people always deserve the right for their freedom. This decision has taken away that freedom. Plain and simple.

This is a rare time I get political as I just want my blog to be a fun and safe space; but I feel it is right to voice my support and share my feelings on this.

Anyone who disagrees, I respect that. But please be civil and don't try to make an argument.

#i wish i could say more #i wish i had the power to just change it back tk the way it was #as a brit ab*****ns can happen before 24 weeks (in england scotland and wales)#that's about 5 and a half months #so honestly positive imo #oh and boris johnson says the decison in regards to roe v wade is backwards #which is probably the smartest thing he's ever said #as a woman and an open minded person #i support those who wish to get an abortion #there are multiple reasons to and it's not my place to question that decision #so anyone who disagrees #i respect your opinion but please be civil and don't try to make an argument #roe v wade #roe v. wade #us abortion laws #us abortion ruling #us abortion rights #feminism

I have a friend who moved to the US in early 2020. When they were still living here (Germany) they were already fairly religious (attending mass every Sunday, following the rules of the Catholic faith, etc.) But they didn’t agree with a lot of standpoints of the church such as the anti-LGBTQ agenda and anti-abortion agenda. Then they moved to the US, into the bible belt region. And sure enough, within a year they did a full 180 and nowadays promote pro Life beliefs. Yesterday I entered Instagram in the evening only to discover their story was full of reposts of people celebrating the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. So yeah needless to say I unfollowed and blocked them everywhere. And I ask you to do the same with me, if you are pro life, because I don’t need that sort of negativity in my life. Please note that I’m not blaming religion alone, I’m just assuming that it held and still holds a large influence on their viewpoints.

#it’s a shame because we always got along but yeah #pro choice #usa #us abortion laws #roe vs. wade

The US has had abortion rights since 1973. That’s insane to even think about for me. In Argentina they decriminalized it in December of 2020, after getting rejected in 2018. We’ve fought so hard to get it. I was just a child with my mother screaming both on the streets when we knew we weren’t getting our human rights any time soon anyway. And I can’t tell you how much it pained me when I coulnd’t go out to the streets to cry out of happiness when we got the news in 2020, that the thing our people fought so so hard for finally got given to us. We saw (and see, still) hope, and the mere idea of this right getting taken away from us any time soon is terrifying. Yet there are people who can take it away from us, because of, what we thought it to be, a very new law.

How can a right that’s been settled 50 years ago get taken away so easily, so out of nowhere, so unrightfully?

"Under a Missouri statute that has recently gained nationwide attention, every petitioner for divorce is required to disclose their pregnancy status. In practice, experts say, those who are pregnant are barred from legally dissolving their marriage. “The application [of the law] is an outright ban,” said Danielle Drake, attorney at Parks & Drake. When Drake learned her then husband was having an affair, her own divorce stalled because she was pregnant. Two other states have similar laws: Texas and Arkansas."

"Missouri is particularly restrictive when it comes to reproductive health and autonomy. It was one of the first to ban abortion after Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022, including in cases of rape and incest. Research shows that abortion restrictions can effectively give cover to reproductive coercion and sexual violence: the National Hotline for Domestic Violence said it saw a 99% increase in calls during the first year after the loss of the constitutional right to abortion."

"Advocates are currently trying to gather enough signatures to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would make abortion legal until fetal viability, or around 24 weeks."

"In Missouri, homicide was the third leading cause of deaths in connection with pregnancy between 2018–2022, the majority (75%) of which occurred among Black women, according to a 2023 report by the Missouri department of health and senior services, which examines maternal mortality data. In every case, the perpetrator was a current or former partner. And in 2022, 23,252 individuals in the state received services after reporting domestic violence, according to the latest reporting from Missouri Coalition Against Domestic & Sexual Violence, which compiles data from direct service providers in the state."

The dystopia we speak of -across many of issues that women and marginalized folks face is HERE already. This is terrifying.

Always remember oppressors never take a day off.

While we are focused on….

- Israel committing genocide and being antisemitic against the people of Palestine.

- Israel being antisemitic against Jews against genocide and war. “Not in my name!”

- The silent genocide in Congo and Sudan.

Our governments continue forward chipping away at the rights of their citizens.

Keep an eye on your local government & elections. Sometimes they start small and spread to like cancer.

Look at Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. It feels like they are competing to see who can be the worst.

Remember U.S. lobbyists (christian, conservative, and republican) go out of their way to help construct other countries' anti-LGBTQ+ coalitions and policies/laws.

History in real-time is being rewritten.

Jews across the world and their allies are saying they are anti-war, against Israel’s apartheid state, against Israel’s genocide, condemn Hamas’ attack on Oct 7, condemn Israel’s attack on April 1st, and want a ceasefire. A ceasefire for the exchange hostages taken by Israel and hostages taken by Hamas, but news media, propaganda rags, companies, and government officials are spewing lies about them. Twisting their stands.

As if you needed another reason not to vote for Trump, here it is... all the stories here that you enjoy reading could be subject to new laws that could put your favorite writers in prison or at the very least subject to criminal action.

Project 2025 is by a conservative think tank & it is literally all the most dystopian ideas you can think. Like there are literally plans in it to suspend or get rid of parts of the US Constitution & The Bill of Rights. It is also what they are pushing to pass if Trump is elected in November. These are the plans they want to put in place and are already at work writing so Trump can rubber stamp.

There have been many articles about other horrifying parts of Project 2025, but a new revelation that strikes close to home as a smut writer is their plan to redefine & criminalize pornography. Including artwork that depicts nudity (think Michaelangelo's David) and books that depict sexual physical contact. That would put many of us on this site & others like AO3 at risk.

This is just the tip of the iceberg & there are plenty more heinous & inhumane things in Project 2025, including making homosexuality and being transgender illegal & providing gender affirming support punishable by incarceration. The people behind Project 2025 & The Heritage Foundation are telling you exactly what they plan to do. Believe them.

If you care about the people on this site and their work, please take them into consideration in Nov. Is Joe Biden my favorite person? No. Do I think some of his policies are wrong? Yes. Will I still be voting for him in November? Absolutely, because democracy is literally on the line this fall.

hey, Supreme Court

you want to know why abortion isn’t in the Constitution?

because the Founding Fathers, who you seem to regard as immortal god-kings, would most likely have been okay with it. or at the very least, not thought about it much

in 18th-century England, and its colonies, abortion was widely seen as acceptable until “the quickening” (when the fetus could be felt moving in the womb). which generally happens around 16-20 weeks. based on data collected by the CDC in 2019, about 93% of abortions in the US take place well before then (source). the anti-abortion movement in the US didn’t really take off until the mid-19th century

that’s not to say there was no opposition to abortion, of course. no group is a monolith, and it was broadly quite a conservative time. denying that would be absurd. but the prevailing public opinion seems to have accepted the practice, and it was legal

not that we should be legislating based on history at all, but I think this comfortably proves that these absolute monsters are hypocrites in the bargain. and that they are somehow more conservative than a bunch of wealthy, white, landowning 18th-century men (who, if not enslavers themselves, almost certainly saw no moral conflict in befriending the same)

#abortion #history #us history #current events #I mean they already nixed a gun control law from 1913 on the grounds that it 'doesn't follow historical tradition' so #expecting even consistency from them is a mistake #but still #slavery mention

The KOSA bill is so incredibly terrifying to me as a precedent on a personal level because on paper it's to 'protect the children' but the real intended and desired outcome is exactly what I went through all my life, what I'm still going through for the time being

It sounds silly and people can scoff all they want saying how maybe it's not such a bad thing, but in the hands of the type of parents who want this bill it will do nothing but harm. There is nothing more isolating and paralyzingly scary than the knowledge that even online can't be an escape or source of help or community anymore, because the people who already have full control of your autonomy can now watch every digital move you make, censor and block absolutely anything they want. It doesn't matter if you're not doing anything wrong because to the parents who want this anything you do can be wrong, especially exploring and discovering your own queer identity - among any other number of things.

And of course it doesn't stop there because if they can pass this kind of bill, how much further can they push this?

#doc says stuff #ask to tag #yeah i just. i have thoughts.#I mentioned this bill to one of my irl friends who is a trans leftist and she just laughed it off #saying how maybe its really not such a bad thing to keep under 16 y/os off the internet #like no. you have to understand how bad this is #conservatives use children as their political puppets for topics like abortion and trans laws already #you cant trust them on this OBVIOUSLY #they have never cared about childrens safety #this will at the VERY least isolate queer kids in the hostile environment of florida even more

Grand jury declines to indict Ohio woman who miscarried of abusing a corpse | The Washington Post

By Kim Bellware

An Ohio grand jury has declined to indict Brittany Watts, the 34-year-old woman charged with abusing a corpse after experiencing a miscarriage at home in a case that drew national attention to the ways women may be criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes in a post-Dobbs landscape.

The Trumbull County grand jury that had been investigating Watts’s case for a month on Thursday returned what’s known as a “no bill” for felony abuse of a corpse charges; as a result, charges against Watts will be immediately dismissed.

Trumbull County prosecutor Dennis Watkins said through a spokesperson that he plans to address the grand jury’s decision within the next day. Watkins was widely criticized for pursuing the case against Watts and was last month urged by medical and legal professionals to drop the case.

Neither Watts nor her lawyer, Traci Timko, responded to request for comment Thursday.

In a statement, Yveka Pierre, senior counsel at If/When/How, a group of reproductive rights lawyers that provided legal support in Watts’s case, said she was relieved to see the end of a “dehumanizing” case against Watts.

“Brittany should have been able to focus on taking care of herself after her pregnancy loss. She should have been able to process, and grieve with her family and community” Pierre said. “Instead, she was arrested and charged with a felony.”

Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Rights (OPRR), among the chief professional groups to condemn Watts’s charges, in a statement hailed the grand jury’s decision as a “firm step against the dangerous trend of criminalizing reproductive outcomes.”

Lauren Beene, a doctor and co-founder of OPRR, told The Washington Post Thursday that charging pregnant people like Watts who are in the midst of life-threatening complications and devastating pregnancy losses can have a chilling effect on health care; women may not be able to get the care they need or be afraid to seek out the care they need, leading to negative outcomes like higher maternal mortality.

Watts’s case also drew attention to Ohio’s existing Targeted Restrictions on Abortion Providers (TRAP) laws. Despite Ohio voters last year approving Issue 1, a law enshrining the right to abortion in Ohio’s constitution, there are about 30 TRAP laws on the books that have not been repealed and that interfere with reproductive care, Beene said.

“If people are miscarrying like Watts was and the fetus still has a heartbeat but it’s a nonviable fetus, Issue 1 should protect her,” Beene said. “But without taking down the TRAP laws, like the fetal heartbeat law, health care institutions may be afraid to provide the care and may not understand what they can and can’t do.”

The Post previously reconstructed Watts’s days leading up to her miscarriage, drawing on medical records, call recordings and interviews with Watts and her lawyer.

Watts miscarried at home last September after four days in and out of the hospital where she had been told her nearly 22-week pregnancy was not viable. There was still detectable fetal cardiac activity, which complicated how quickly a decision could be made to induce Watts, despite doctors indicating she was at increasing risk of death. Abortion in Ohio remains legal up to 22 weeks.

At home, Watts delivered a roughly 15-ounce fetus over the toilet. When blood, stool and tissue from the delivery clogged the toilet, Watts removed what she believed was blocking the flow and placed the contents in a bucket outdoors, records show. When she returned to the hospital after her delivery, a nurse who inquired about the fetus later reported Watts to police.

Police eventually removed Watts’s toilet and found the fetus lodged in the pipes. Timko, Watts’s attorney, said her client had no criminal record and was being “demonized for something that goes on every day,” but a municipal judge found there was evidence to bind Watts’s case over for a grand jury investigation.

A coroner’s report later confirmed the fetus died in utero and was not injured by Watts’s actions. Neither prosecutors nor health care workers who treated Watts disputed that her pregnancy loss was natural.

The decision to charge Watts sparked concerns among women’s health advocates and others that the risk of being criminalized for pregnancy outcomes was growing. On Thursday before the grand jury announcement, a rally in support of Watts had been scheduled in the Warren Courthouse Square. A fundraiser for Watts that began in December has raised more than $230,000.

Reproductive justice campaigners in Arizona on Tuesday vowed to make sure voters "have the ultimate say" on abortion rights after the state Supreme Court upheld an 1864 ban that includes no exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

"This is a horrifying ruling that puts the lives and futures of countless Arizonans at risk," said Leah Greenberg, co-founder of progressive advocacy group Indivisible. "It's devastating and cruel—and we're fighting back."

The court ruled that since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the right-wing majority on the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022, no law exists to prevent Arizona from reinstating a measure passed in 1864—before Arizona was even a U.S. state.

The law outlaws abortion care from the moment of conception with exceptions only in cases of a pregnant person who faces life-threatening health impacts. Such "exceptions" have been shown to threaten the health, including reproductive health and future fertility, of pregnant people in several states since Roe was overturned in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling.

Under the Arizona law, doctors who are prosecuted for providing abortion care could face fines and 2-5 years in prison.

State Attorney General Kris Mayes, a Democrat, called the ruling "unconscionable and an affront to freedom."
