Global Abortion Rights News @globalabortionnews.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
In Nov, the rights of Missourians to get abortion care — which has been slowly becoming more available after a 2024 vote to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution — may come screeching to a halt. Republicans are intent on reversing that vote with a deceptive ballot measure.

A state that enshrined abortion into its constitution is now at risk of losing it
A ballot measure backed by the state’s Republican party would make Missouri the first state whose constitution explicitly bans the procedure.

Yes. Women always seem to lead the way for human rights, but men always seem to garner the most attention. Is it a cultural thing that’s reflected in media? Is it a media thing perpetuated and exaggerated by culture?

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

Trans rights are also an important barometer on if you actually believe people have a fundamental right to their own body and life. If you don’t support full access to transition care, how can I trust you when you claim to be in favor of protecting abortion rights? Or human rights in general?

Talk is cheap, so if potential politicians aren't in clear support of trans rights while campaigning, then why would we expect them to support us once they're in power? You want a guarantee of our vote? Consistently advocate for our rights and refute transphobia. It's that simple.

I see a lot of people actively losing their minds about the AI stuff and I'm honestly starting to feel bad for them. But it's blinding them to the real problems. These things are not your girlfriend, but they're probably going to smash-and-grab passwords and attack bank or government data.
The observation that the most alarmist claims about A.I.’s impact seem to come from the individuals most connected to Rationalism should anger us. This exaggerated grimness makes it easy to overlook the more immediate harms created by these technologies, such as their potential use in cybersecurity attacks, excess resource consumption, impact on our cognitive fitness, role in undermining education and amplification of soul-deadening slop.

This style of anxious talk also allows the A.I. companies to portray themselves as the reluctant “stewards” of an inevitable technology, which is a framing they can use to deflect blame for damage caused by their own products.
