Even tho there are just a few weeks left in 2020, the orcs on the anti abortion superhighway are trying to fill every moment with oppression! 

Wisconsin is trying to EXPAND abortion access, Ohio and Gov. Mike DeWine would like your fetus to sit in a freezer for a few months before arriving at a mass grave, because that is #deathwithdignity. Plus your Feminist Sleeper Cellmates are very excited for a world in which Xavier Becerra’s runs HHS!
