M&M prove yet again that we don’t melt in the hands of Ted Cruz, even though we are hot with rage over his (and the right’s) attempts at dismantling abortion pill care. In summary of today’s topics: the abortion pill is SAFE; hell yes for representational abortion story telling; and we cannot forget that COVID is harming reproductive care south of us, too. We add some books to our reading list and are hoping to return for an in-depth discussion of the Turnaway Study in the future! #AbortionIsHealthcare
