Terrific piece on the current state of abortion access by @dsc250.bsky.social & @carolejoffe.bsky.social - there is a lot to rage about these days but we still need those rage donations for abortion care: msmagazine.com/2026/01/21/a...

Post-Dobbs abortion access has been propped up by donor outrage and heroic work—but that fragile system is already leaving people behind.

"Everyone deserves reproductive freedom—not just those who are lucky enough to more easily access it." @carolejoffe.bsky.social and @dsc250.bsky.social write in @msmagazine.com that despite heroic efforts of providers and volunteers, we need more to get abortion access for everyone who needs it

Friends, as most of you know, abortion providers are one of the far right's main targets. Dr. Remy Coeytaux, is now being sued by the Louisiana AG, as well as a man in Texas. The subsequent doxxing of Dr. Coeytaux's address by right-wingers has left him very vulnerable. gofund.me/9ef7bc59d

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.
