Trump’s return to the White House was built on the back of people’s fears. Fear of immigrants, fear of trans folks and bathroom access, fear of #affordability

The reality of #Trumpist policy is the unnecessary death of a young women unable to access once routine #healthcare

This story is drowned out by wave upon wave of madness whether it is the tragedy of #reneegood or threats directed at #Greenland. Next week it will be something else

@heidilifeldman This is the problem with “exceptions to save the life of the mother.” We generally don’t know with 100% certainty which high risk pregnancies will result in maternal death, just that some are higher risk or very high risk. But the only way to be 100% sure is to wait and see if the pregnant person dies or not.
