For years, zealots have harassed patients outside of clinics, written down their license plate numbers, videotaped people entering and exiting the facilities.
“We were under surveillance,” said Amy Hagstrom Miller, the CEO of Whole Woman’s Health, in a phone interview. “The protesters were there the whole time, and stayed all the way until midnight … just to be sure the staff and doctors knew they were there, watching.”

After Texas victory, anti-abortion activists could restrict other reproductive rightsTexas’ highly restrictive anti-abortion law went into effect last week, and abortion rights advocates say the threat to women’s reproductive freedom across the US has already begun — and extends far beyond abortion. The modern GOP and these people agree with regard to guns and abortion. I'm totally disgusted with the Supreme Court, the shadow dockets. Why wasn't this argued publicly? REPUBLICANS HAVE DECLARED WAR ON WOMEN!!!

Donald Trump Has Puzzling Response To Supreme Court Texas Abortion RulingThe court allowed Texas to enact a law that bans abortion after six weeks. This just seems to be his structure or rhetoric for every question he is asked related to anything at all complex or related to law. 🙄 My thoughts: that law and upholding it is an abomination of women’s rights.
