If #antiabortion #extremists want to press legal charges of murder on #women who have abortions, why can't women claim that fetuses are kidnapping their bodies and trying to cause them great bodily harm? After all, if blastocysts and fetuses are complete people in a legal sense, they should be held legally accountable for taking away the health and economic well-being of the person carrying it, shouldn't they? #AbortionRights #BodilyAutonomy #humanrights

@AlliFlowers @cautionarytale I appreciate that, good teachers so unappreciated.

Freedom is not a zero-sum game.

You don’t lose yours by allowing others to have theirs.

CURMUDGUCATION: The Call To Abolish Public Education - Vouchers are raised only as a means to the end, and the end is privatizing education and separating it from the state. Libertarians used to say it out loud. https://curmudgucation.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-call-to-abolish-public-education.html?spref=tw #Education

They are NOT Conservative, NOT Christian, NOT patriotic, NOT moral, and definitely NOT ethical. They are the dwindling minority desperately pulling back our progress to be better, a better self and a better union.

Alaska Drops Policy Banning Discrimination Against LGBTQ Individuals

There’re no moderate Republicans, Utah Gov Spencer, who’s been lauded as one, will sign a bill that’ll only allow abortions (in accordance with UT’s restrictive laws) in hospitals *most abortions in UT took place in clinics last year, 61%: with medications. Clinics will be banned from performing abortions, severely harming patient care for women & girls-: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/utah-governor-abortion-clinic-ban_n_640331fae4b079d3eb5c0ed4

This tweet comes unironically from the GOP, which loves giant defense budgets, wants to regulate women's bodies, wishes to tell schools what they can teach, desires a 1900-mile-long border wall, wants to increase the size of police forces, thinks the government should prevent drag story hours, is trying to track young women's periods, thinks social media companies need more regulation, is banning books from libraries, and is trying to tell doctors what prescriptions they can & can't write.
