If the Court sides with ADF, it won't just gut protections for LGBTQ+ youth, it’ll set a precedent for coming after any law that protects us from their extremist agenda and legitimize manipulative “therapies” and fraud ass "science." We deserve care, autonomy, and TRUTH.

🌈 Why This Matters
Conversion therapy isn’t just ABUSIVE AF, it’s also widely discredited by every major medical and psychological association you can think of.

ONCE again they pulled out their favorite weapon that they tried to use to obliterate abortion pills: MANIPULATING DATA TO PROVE FAKE-ASS FINDINGS.

🧾Fake-Ass Receipts Alert
The Alliance Defending Fuckery argued before the Supreme Court YESTERDAY and begged justices to strike down state laws that ban the legalized abuse they call “conversion therapy” for minors.

Their target this time? Coming after LGBTQ+ rights by “protecting” their precious pray-the-gay-away scam AKA “conversion therapy.”

💀 Same Hate, Different Target
Meet Chiles v. Salazar: the latest BS case brought to you by the weirdos at Alliance Defending Freedom. Do they sound familiar? It's because they're the same conservative extremist group that tried to ban mifepristone nationwide last year.

🏥More Access = Better Health
Needless to say, we’re PSYCHED about this new bad bitch on the scene. Anything that helps make care more affordable and accessible is a huge win. We’re keeping a close eye on the continuing attacks, but for now, we can enjoy that this time, data bodied dogma.

🏛️ Laws Are Still A Thing
So, if a drug manufacturer can prove that their drug is exactly the same as a name brand, then their generic MUST be approved. BY LAW. And as of today, laws still must be followed, even by the current administration. 🤯

Short answer is: They had no choice. And forced-birthers are PISSED. Doesn’t feel great to have no choice, does it now?

💊So Why The Hell Did TRUMP’s FDA Approve A Generic Abortion Pill?
Great question! The FDA just approved a generic form of mifepristone, the very same abortion pill they said needs "reviewing" in light of garbage data dumped on their desk by an anti-abortion think tank.

🐝Queen Bees of the Ballot
Remember the WI race where Elon lit MILLIONS on fire to try to get anti-abortion justices elected? This is part 2. State Supreme Courts are the final call on how to interpret state law. That means abortion, voting, healthcare, privacy—you name it, they DECIDE. So get on it!

⚖️SUPREMELY IMPORTANT: PA Voters To Choose State Supreme Court
This Nov, Pennsylvanians get to choose what happens in the brutal fight over their state Supreme Court seats. 3 justices with a record of voting to PROTECT abobo rights are up for re-election & anti-abobo blood money's coming for them.

🛌DON’T SLEEP ON STATE SUPREME COURT RACES
Since abobo rights got kicked to the states, state Supreme Court justices are the final bosses of it. If there’s forced-birth funds streaming into an election, you can bet your ass your bodily autonomy is ON. THE. LINE. Next stop: PA!

Tons of data and studies, and every major medical org agrees: the only thing that is ACTUALLY dangerous is restricting abortion access.

🤡 Get It Together, ‘Merica
A junk study from an anti-abortion think tank is fueling two attacks on mifepristone: the bonkers legal challenge against it AND the FDA’s sudden spark to RE-review its safety, even though it’s been used WORLDWIDE FOR DECADES. No need, assholes.

💊 Let’s Fucking Go

Currently in the US, the abobo pill is approved for up to 10 weeks. This study shows we should UP IT TO 12. Right now, anti-abobo asshats are trying to RESTRICT use down to 7 weeks & make people go IN PERSON to get it. This data proves: none of that BS is medically necessary.

🩺 Study Shows Abortion Medication Safe to Use Til 12 Weeks

A new study out of the UK adds even MORE data to the pile of studies that prove medication abortion is HELLA SAFE. It shows that taking it at home works just as well as taking it in a hospital between 10-12 weeks. bit.ly/4mNAewb

🌴 California is officially the A-lister of abortion, cuz they just passed a law to keep patient AND provider names off of abortion medication prescription bottles. Cuz nobody needs police snooping around like TMZ to catch us in the act of (checks notes) healthcare. buff.ly/hWAHif2

On this week’s #SteamingNewsDump, there was a whole lotta Catholic bro-licing this week. The Pope cherry-picks what is “pro-life” — SPOILER: it's not saving US—and a Catholic rag clutched its rosary pearls and whined that we're not centering the delicate emotional lives of forced-birth bros.
