What a gift from Linda to hear her bracing and brilliant voice again here from the grave. At her (surprise) request, I co-signed her medical aid in dying form as a witness to her sound mind. It was an understatement. Miss her a lot.

This piece is so beautiful and important

It’s an honor to be back at the bargaining table today. Please let Vox Media know we need a fair contract so that my colleagues can get back to what they do best: publishing stories that blow up your group chats.

You forgot the (apparent) mother of the age gap writer supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/2…

I wrote about the fantasy worlds of today’s oral argument and their real and upsetting consequences nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Barrett casually referring to required ultrasounds and checking for a “heartbeat” for an early abortion as if they are part of an evidence-based protocol.

Of course that Alito hypothesis involves a doctor being forced to treat complications from an abortion of a viable fetus even though the mifepristone regulations at issue involve access through ten weeks.

Gabriela Gonzalez traveled >500miles outside of Texas to get an abortion in hopes of escaping her abuser.

The GOP's deliberate policy decision to loosen gun laws + ban abortion gave him the tools to murder her.

A deadly new normal for women in Texas:

One thing I have appreciated about Cecile Richards is that when shit gets tough—even when we’ve disagreed—she stayed in the conversation and the fight. I’m in awe of her vulnerability here with Irin Carmon—and her dedication to the fights ahead. Wishing you the healthiest of days. 🫶🏽

In this week’s New York Magazine: I spoke to the inimitable Cecile Richards about staying in the fight while being treated for glioblastoma.

The last six months have been wild - but thanks to incredible health care providers and the support of family and friends, I’m doing really well.

I’ve felt lucky all my life, and I feel lucky now: to be here, doing this work, alongside all of you.

Irin Carmon's (Irin Carmon) moving profile of Cecile Richards's (former president of Planned Parenthood) battle with brain cancer is a must read The Cut: thecut.com/article/cecile…

Always read Irin Carmon, even when it’s a story you wish she didn’t have to write. I have always had so much respect and admiration for Cecile Richards.

A visionary and a fighter! Huge loss.

.Irin Carmon on the Texas Supreme Court ruling that Kate Cox could not terminate her pregnancy with a fetus with a fatal diagnosis:

“The state of Texas would rather torture, hurt, draw out her pregnancy at the risk of herself… force her to give birth to a dying baby, on terms that…

So excited for this free, virtual program the Center for Women's History @nyhistory is hosting tomorrow to mark the 100 year anniversary of the ERA! Register to hear Katherine Turk Julie Suk Irin Carmon discuss the past, present, and future of ERA activism:

Black women in NYC are ~9x more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than white women.
 
It's an injustice BK will not ignore, and I'm so proud of the work we are doing to make this borough the safest one in the city to have a baby.
 
TY Irin Carmon for shining a light.

Jezebel has published some of the best abortion coverage over the past decade. This is a huge loss.

Pouring one out for Jezebel. Wrote this piece about the feminist blogosphere in 2011, a lot of it still holds up. nymag.com/news/features/…
