Weltschmerz à Gogo

An Anglican priest who made headlines after he gave a mocking Nazi salute—also known as a Roman salute—during an anti-abortion rally is coming to Canada.

Calvin Robinson is being brought to Canada by Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) as part of its annual March for Life in Ottawa, Ontario.

He is scheduled to speak at the Youth Summit during the one-day event taking place on May 9 at the Ottawa Conference and Events Centre. Organized by CLC’s youth wing and Niagara Region Right to Life, Robinson is scheduled appear as one of two keynote speakers.

Today marks my 100th day of messing around with a period-tracking app. I’m a uterus-less cis man, but I’ve been pressing random buttons on this app because I want to add just a tiny bit of noise to their data signal, in case they ever get corralled by this godforsaken government into snitching on pregnancies or periods.

It costs me very little attention. I let the app send me notifications, and every time it does, I press random buttons on the calendar. That’s it.

You can do the same. Put some noise in there. Throw a handful of sand in the gears every few days.

Abortion rights activists get into, take over lead of Tampa's "March 4 Life" forced birth parade

On the 1st of February, Tampa forced-birth marchers assembled outside a downtown Catholic Church and marched to a nearby park.This was Tampa's local version of the national annual January march against abortion rights. This was also 12 days after the installation of "King" Trump.

Abortion rights activists managed to enter the march, then take over the lead. The offical lead banner crew kept slowing down or stopping to open a gap, but abortion rights supporters were wise to this old countermove. At one point they reversed the roles, stopping and forcing the entire march to file past them.

At the park rally, abortion rights supporters actually HAD THEIR OWN TABLE, and advanced towards the rally from that position. This diverted some of the rally participants to forming a front line at the back of their rally.

While some verbal sparks flew, punches never did. Things stayed entirely peaceful. At no point did the police threaten either side either.

ABORTION RIGHTS MEASURES IN BATTLEGROUND STATES
Mastodon Post

Who here has followed thinking on how abortion rights ballot measures might be affecting voting in such battleground states as Arizona, Florida, and Nevada? My hope, anyway, is that prevailing abortion rights sentiment will help Kamala Harris and Democrats, everywhere it is at issue, in the elections and that it will dim chances for Worn Out and Crazy Old Man 45. Nap time for Donald.

Nebraska, it seems to me, has both an abortion rights measure and a forced birth measure on its ballot.

It is of some interest to me that Maine's second Congressional district is considered to be a swing district. It is my old home area.

A LEADING MAGAMANIAC THINKS WOMEN BECOME UNDECIDED ON ABORTION AT AGE 50
Mastodon Post

Bernie Moreno, US Senate candidate in Ohio, thinks abortion should not be an issue for women over 50. When women turn 50, they become okay with a national abortion ban. Convenient thinking of a Trump Project2025 Party candidate.

KAMALA HARRIS
AND FORCED-BIRTH REPUBLICANS'
SICK" NEED TO MIND OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS
Mastodon Post

MAGAmaniacs and many "Republicans" stand firmly for forced birth and they hope to elect a sex abuser and convicted felon to take forced birth nationwide and Take America Backward Again.

Donald Trump, an elderly relic of the past, effectively banned abortion.

Vote for Kamala Harris 47.

[Evidently the Kamala Harris 47 hashtag has not been in use here until now. Why?]

Although I think even for-profit media did a reasonably good job covering the fascist right's quest to repeat Roe V. Wade, and the political machinations surrounding SCOTUS's Dobbs decision, I'm not so sure they've done as good a job covering the catastrophic human fallout from the decision to authorize removing the bodily autonomy of every woman in fascist-controlled American states. Which is why I appreciated this Guardian article about how hard its been for child rape survivors in states with an abortion ban to access care; even if reading it simultaneously broke my heart and made me want to put my fist through my monitor. Just gonna warn you in advance, this one is a hard read:

theguardian.com/us-news/articl

Child rape survivors face extraordinary barriers in states with abortion bans

"Since Roe v Wade was overturned by the US supreme court in 2022, 14 states have passed near-total abortion bans. Ten of those states, including Texas, have no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest. A study published earlier this year estimated that 65,000 rape-related pregnancies probably occurred in states with abortion bans since Roe fell.

While there are no studies on the numbers of rape-related pregnancies in minors since Roe was overturned, young people in states with abortion bans face unique barriers, according to doctors and advocates who spoke with the Guardian.

“States that ban abortions, both with and without rape exceptions, do not have carve-outs for minors,” Dr Samuel Dickman, one of the authors of the study on rape-related pregnancies since Roe fell, said via email. “Many states where abortion care remains legal impose burdensome additional restrictions on abortion access for minors, such as parental consent or notification laws. And of course, the logistical and financial burdens on people trying to get abortions out of state are often worse for minors, who may not have access to transportation or the funds needed to travel and pay for abortion services.”

The plain truth is that I don't think there's any valid reason to deny abortion rights to any woman seeking to end a pregnancy, for any reason. But even setting that aside, it has always enraged me how minors who are victims of sexual assault are treated like a purely hypothetical talking point that can easily be ignored as a corner case, by the so-called "pro-life" coalitions seeking to ban abortion in America. These are real young girls, who've already experienced the worst violations our still extremely patriarchal society has to offer; the decisions these fascists champion have very real, and very catastrophic effects on all women living under these abortion bans, but the harm caused is only *magnified* for vulnerable people - and I don't think you can get much more vulnerable than child victims of sexual assault.

Quite frankly, I can't legally tell you what I think the consequences should be for making life so much harder than it has to be for young women in this horrible situation, but suffice to say being voted out of office doesn't nearly cover it.
