For many of us who are disabled, our reproductive health decisions are left up to judges, state governments, legal guardians, family members, and other people who may not have our best interests at heart and make decisions based on ableist beliefs and assumptions.

Before our rights as disabled people became more protected through policies and healthcare reform, as many as 70,000 disabled people, people of color, and women were forcibly sterilized in the 20th century as a result of these eugenic ideologies.

Buck v. Bell upheld Virginia's Eugenical Sterilization Act, authorizing the state of Virginia to forcibly sterilize Carrie Buck, a young, poor white woman the state determined to be unfit to procreate.

To be clear, just because the 1864 ban has been repealed doesn’t mean people will be able to get abortions immediately and the 15 week ban is still in place.

The only justice moving forward is full protections and decriminalization for abortion at any time and for any reason.

MUST READ! Our statement on today’s Arizona Senate vote to repeal one extreme ban and revert to another. It’s a repeal with no set date to take effect & nothing has changed about the need for the Arizona Abortion Access Act. #AZforaccess

“My soul is gone.”

Almost 14,000 children killed in Gaza since October 7, according to health authorities.

Jeremy Diamond reported on the deaths of ten children 2 weeks ago.

They are harrowing images, impossible to forget.

Now, his latest report on that Israeli strike.

Thanks The Brigid Alliance for the invite to your 5th anniversary party and an opportunity for me & Regina Mahone to look cute!

Enjoy this beautiful performance of Evie Shockley’s poem “the old ways”.

Words matter.

Biden has the audacity to give that speech that protest shouldn’t lead to disorder — while planning to speak at Morehouse’s commencement— Martin Luther King Jr’s alma mater.

MLK spoke about white moderates more devoted to order than to justice.

Just stop calling the cops.

Stop calling the cops on abortion seekers. Stop. Calling. The. Cops.

As we reflect on the Buck v. Bell case this Disability and Reproductive Justice Day, let us remember the importance of learning from history to create a more just and compassionate future.

Our toddler and I are featured in an article today. My favorite part of this article is that our 3 year old is quoted (maybe baby's first newspaper quote?). It's giving #ACAB forever.

“Nobody goes to the police! Nobody goes to the police!”

Shameful speech by the President as campuses have unleashed police on students—he blames protesters as the problem & ignores the violence they've faced.

If dissent was crucial to our democracy, you would spend more time listening to their demands than lying about their tactics.
