A much-needed victory for voting rights! Today, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold state laws allowing mail-in ballots to count if they are postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive a few days later. This is a win, but the fight continues.

North Carolina already has an unjust and harmful 12-week abortion ban, yet Republicans just introduced #HB1232, which would ban ALL abortions, would impose the DEATH PENALTY on anyone who provides an abortion, and would LEGALLY AUTHORIZE THE MURDER of any healthcare worker who provides an abortion.

Birth control SAVES lives. It should never be up for debate. Most people will rely on contraception at some point in their lives. It supports chronic condition management, pregnancy prevention, and the ability to plan a future on one’s own terms. ✨🗓️ #birthcontrol #contraception #reproductivehealth
Birth control is basic health care. It should be accessible and affordable for every person who needs it.
