The medical treatment for septic uterus, eptopic pregancies and a miscarriage that the body cannot release is abortion

Without the medical procedure of an abortion for these medical emergencies, women die

This Far Right anti-abortion shtick has nothing to do with human rights

It’s misogyny, 101

Admittedly in the US they think the Dems are left wing! In Europe they are considered right wing. The GOP are far right & fascist. Even ppl like Mamdani, Bernie & AOC are considered centre to centre right in Europe. America’s politics are based on extreme capitalism & right wing politics

They can block words from a journal, but they cannot block the march of justice. They can erase speeches from the record, but they cannot erase the promise from the hearts of a people who refuse to bow to kings.
Great comparison. Thanks for the reminder. I'm glad Rudd is in that role. So much more effective than Hockey.
