The nearest abortion clinic – in Chicago – was too far away and too expensive for her mother to provide her with the procedure

This is what Republicans want for all of us.

If Republicans win the next election, they will institute a national abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest.

If you want to stop this, the only way to do so is to vote for Biden. I really hope people understand this.

What it's going to take is to vote in Biden, then whoever the Democrats run in 2028, 2032, 2036. Until enough of the Republican justices die in office that actual jurists can replace them.

That's not the only way of stopping them.

Voting is good, yes.

So is protesting. We must use all the tools at our disposal, provided they are used to protect and support the most marginalized of our communities.
