The recent Supreme Court decision on abortion has sparked heated debate. Justice Alito's statement on the Constitution's lack of protection for abortion rights has fueled controversy. Anti-abortion movements and strategies are gaining attention, with Texas and the GOP at the forefront. Efforts to put abortion rights on state ballots are underway, with blue states leading the charge. The Helms Amendment, which restricts abortion access overseas, is under scrutiny. Political parties are gearing up for the 2024 election, with abortion emerging as a key campaign issue. Lawmakers and advocacy groups are actively pushing for the repeal of restrictive abortion policies, emphasizing the importance of reproductive freedom and healthcare access.
A Texan woman has been refused an abortion, even though the pregnancy could kill her. This is unspeakably cruel, writes Ann Furedi https://t.co/XdiSE0kqhT
The Helms Amendment (which bars foreign aid from being used for abortion services) denies millions of people reproductive health care. Women should be able to make their own health care decisions — everywhere. https://t.co/IIKPASJEH5
The American people overwhelmingly support women’s right to get the reproductive healthcare they need—but conservative politicians don’t care about the will of the people. They won’t stop until they force their extreme ideological agenda on all of America. https://t.co/SZ92aMsZbS
Women in restrictive states have no choice but to leave their home state to receive the health care they need. And what's worse is that many women don’t have the resources or ability to do so. I stand with all those fighting to ensure every woman has the right to choose. https://t.co/gdLj89mtfq
"[T]hese efforts are seen as an implicit admission that anti-abortion groups don’t believe they can win at the ballot box — even in red states — and that the best way to keep restrictions on the procedure is to keep voters from weighing in directly." https://t.co/0iWcLV9ddu
Not a state secret, but the Democrat plan for ‘24 is to run exclusively on abortion https://t.co/twBlLQX4bX https://t.co/iqLOfJOIDb

Banning abortion playbook: Block all abortion ballot initiatives by any means. Why? Because when it’s up to individual Americans, they know we’ll vote to protect reproductive freedom any chance we get—and this scares Republicans. It's time to put abortion on the ballot. https://t.co/KqyBHBdGGo
Today marks 50 years of the harmful #HelmsAmendment. As a member of @ProChoiceCaucus I believe every individual deserves access to safe abortion care. I'm proud to support @JanSchakowsky’s bill to repeal Helms & allow funds for comprehensive reproductive health care worldwide.
Access to safe abortion services everywhere is a human right. I’m co-leading the Abortion is Healthcare Everywhere Act to #RepealHelms and protect bodily autonomy for all, regardless of where you live.
When we acted to save Roe v. Wade every single republican in Congress voted no and voted to steal women’s freedom. Remember it. https://t.co/nHt1DsfJhX
What the #HelmsAmendment does: ❌ creates significant barriers to safe & legal health care globally ❌ stigmatizes abortion ❌ undermines efforts to advance health, human rights & gender equality It’s time to end this dangerous policy. #RepealHelms. https://t.co/Ybxveg1Nye
The fight for abortion rights, in Florida and in states across the country, transcends partisanship. https://t.co/hUPuKzNdcB
Reproductive freedom & abortion care are a human right — regardless of the country you live in. 50 years since the harmful Helms Amendment was enacted, I'm proud to co-lead the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act to #RepealHelms & protect bodily autonomy everywhere.
NEW w @meganmesserly: Conservatives are testing new tactics to keep abortion off the ballot following a series of high-profile defeats. More on the bills, lawsuits & door-knocking campaigns that could determine who gets to vote on abortion in 2024 --> https://t.co/Z5U10WNseZ
In Arizona, Florida, Nevada and other states, several anti-abortion groups are buying TV and digital ads, knocking on doors and holding events to persuade people against signing petitions to put the issue before voters in November. Today's TOP READ: https://t.co/68FcCs5oXq

The striking down of Roe v Wade has been a disaster for women’s freedom. Now, many American women in need of an abortion are left at the mercy of judges, even when their pregnancy could kill them. Who could possibly support this?, asks Ann Furedi https://t.co/XdiSE0kqhT

Two blue state legislatures put abortion rights constitutional amendments on their 2024 ballots, while organizers in at least nine other states so far are leading citizen-driven efforts to put similar measures on the ballot. (From @19thnews) https://t.co/KjyoGYNE6s
Justice Alito said he "believe[d] very strongly... that the Constitution does not protect a right to an abortion.” At some point in this article, @nytimes, you might want to admit that the Constitution does not, in fact, protect a right to an abortion. https://t.co/k0wSdLdt6I

Oh it did no such thing, Maureen. The Court merely sent abortion policy back to the states - where referendum after referendum has been approving wildly liberal abortion laws. "Religious fanatics on the Supreme Court have yanked America back to back alleys." -Maureen Dowd…
