Massachusetts Democrats are primed to pass a series of pro-choice bills, including one that would provide medication abortion at colleges across the state.
Democratic gains in the 2018 midterms have produced a range of pro-choice bills across the United States that would repeal abortion restrictions and open up abortion access.
Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Kirk Cox, third in line to become Virginia's governor, is backed by an anti-choice group that believes life begins at fertilization.
The global gag rule doesn’t just drastically limit access to safe and legal abortion. It jeopardizes access to all health care offered by the same providers.
The pain progressives feel in Virginia is real. We reject racism and blackface from our political leaders. We stand with and believe sexual assault survivors, and we demand that our political leaders treat women with respect.
Those in power rarely acknowledge the struggles of everyday people, especially those with marginalized identities. The conversations around later abortion are no exception.
