On June 26, a judge blocked the second-trimester abortion ban that was set to go into effect on July 1 in Kansas. This is a positive development, and it is also possible that the Texas clinic closures of all but 9 clinics in the state will receive an emergency stay before July 1, sending the case to the Supreme Court (No update to report on the Tennessee clinic closures effective July 1. To see the nationwide scope of attacks, see Stop Patriarchy's Abortion Rights Fact Sheet.)
It is outrageous and the sign of an illegitimate system that the simple question of whether women are full human beings who have the right to decide whether or when to have children is even up for debate. It is dangerous and degrading that women's humanity is being measured against that of a fetus. But the fact that this battle is currently going through twists and turns in the courts is ALL THE MORE REASON and the perfect time for mass resistance. We are done taking this patriarchal shit! Get yourself to one of the National Abortion Rights Protests on July 1 or call an action where you live. Join with Stop Patriarchy for a whole summer of Taking Patriarchy By Storm.
