i have told my abortion story many times, as a way to build community with other people who have had abortions and create empathy for the millions who need abortion care every year.
the decision of ohio’s attorney general to force clinics to stop offering abortion care is unnecessary, opportunistic, and incredibly callous. governor dewine’s administration is using this opportunity to continue his extremist anti-abortion agenda, rather than truly looking out for public health and safety.
unlike some procedures, abortion is time-sensitive. it can’t simply be delayed. and with social distancing measures expected to last weeks and months, this decision should be called what it is: forced birth for thousands.
today the future of sex education (fose) initiative, a partnership of 喀麦隆vs巴西波胆分析 , answer, and siecus: sex ed for social change, released the second edition of the national sex education standards: core content and skills, k–12 to support educators in providing medically accurate, trauma-informed, inclusive sex education.
this ban is another part of this president’s pattern of othering and ostracizing people of color both within and outside of our borders. for the last three years, we have watched this president fan the flames of hate and bigotry, inciting and turning a blind eye to violence that has forced people of color and religious minorities to live with increased fear.
