For the religious right, erasing the constitutional right to abortion was just the beginning. They are coming after all our reproductive rights and freedoms, every single one of them, and the only way to stop them is with our votes.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, many states have effectively banned abortions. Even where there are exceptions, the law is often so murky that physicians refuse to provide needed care for fear of being sent to prison. As a result, many women with pregnancy complications cannot get medical help until they are almost at death’s door. These dangerous bans have led to a critical shortage of doctors, who feel they cannot practice quality medicine in these states.
While the mailing of mifepristone (which is used to treat miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies, as well as provide safe abortions) is still legal,
a Trump Administration’s politically-led FDA might remove its approval of this pill.
Recently, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has come under attack, with some legislatures defining human life as beginning at fertilization. How can a movement that proclaims it is pro-life deny infertile couples the miracle of having children?
Now, birth control is in MAGA’s crosshairs. Mr. Trump has recently said he is looking at restrictions on contraceptives.
Most Americans oppose these draconian measures, yet MAGA Republicans persist in pushing bills that outlaw abortion, IVF, and some forms of contraception.
Tell MAGA world that reproductive health care is a basic human right. Vote!

Reproductive health care is a fundamental human right and essential to overall well-being. Everyone deserves access to safe, respectful, and informed medical care. Supporting health and confidence goes beyond just one area—places like Botox League City also contribute by offering treatments that empower individuals to feel their best, inside and out.
Absolutely agree—reproductive health care should be accessible and protected for everyone. Taking care of our bodies also means staying informed about all aspects of wellness. I’ve recently been looking into mic B12 injections, and the mic B12 injections before and after results show encouraging benefits for energy and overall health, which can be part of a comprehensive approach to well-being.
I find it very predictable that the only two advocates for banning abortion in these comments are men. They know full well if they could get pregnant they would need abortion clinics in every corner.
I find it hilarious that the reason one needs an abortion is not discussed. It's like women are intentionally having unprotected sex to intentionally get pregnant only to then scream about not being able to have an abortion. It's not rocket science. Don't want a baby, use birth control.
So the hard-fought-for rights won fifty years ago are erased by the Trumpublicans who want an autocracy led by white "Christian" men. I used to be an independent voter but Democrats will get my vote every time now. At least unless/until the GOP regains its sanity.
