Kentucky Goddamn! All Abortion Banned in Kentucky

by Sunsara Taylor

Kentucky goddam! Kentucky today became the first state to ban all abortions. The only two abortion clinics in that state stopped doing them today (April 14). Right now, women who need abortions in that state are having their appointments cancelled. Right now, they are being told that their lives, their dreams, their hopes for the future, their plans, their physical safety doesn’t count for shit, because a bunch of women-haters, a bunch of theocratic Christian fascists have taken the reins of state and told them that they are going to be forced to have a child, whether they want one or not. They’re going to have their lives and their futures foreclosed.

And if we don’t act, if we don’t stand up across this country and raise hell, this could be the fate of women across the country. The U.S. Supreme Court is getting ready—they are on track to overturn Roe v. Wade, to gut women’s right to abortion nationwide, in just a few weeks. People are sleeping through this. They’re sitting back. Most don’t even know it’s happening.

If you don’t go out and raise hell and raise the green bandana, and get in the streets and let them know, then you are allowing this atrocity, the enslavement of half of humanity, to go down.

This is not a drill. Abortion is already effectively banned across Texas… a law is on the books to criminalize it in Oklahoma, scheduled to go into effect in August… today, Ron DeSantis, that Trump-wannabe, fascist, disgusting specimen of our species signed a 15-week ban on abortion in Florida. This is going to be the future, unless we stand up and stop it. And only the people can stop this. Only the masses of people rising up, raising hell, waving the green bandana—the symbol of abortion rights and struggle for abortion rights that came out of Latin America and that Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights has taken up here—you need to be a part of this.

Which side are you on? Which side are you on?

I want to call on you to get out into the streets and raise hell. Go to the website RiseUp4AbortionRights.org. Sign up, get involved, be a part of the national organizing summit this week, and be part of emergency actions coming in the days and weeks ahead. Everything is on the line right now for the future of women and girls.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but rises to a whole different level!

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
