Yep, even though there’s a fair amount we can do to help, it’s still a dumpster fire of epic proportions.

It has been brought to my attention that my recent posts concerning the utterly destructive SCOTUS anti-women decision hasn’t offered any real world solutions about what can be done now to help the millions of women in the Forced Birthing States. Criticism received, acknowledged and heeded.

There are two things we can do right now. First, the one that will have an immediate impact is to give money to the organizations that are setup to help through organizing and paying for travel as well as childcare. Below are some links to various organizations that are helping people receive abortion care.

Donate to Abortion Funds:

Second, a pressure campaign on our elected officials (I also recommend calling the White House to pressure Biden to consider some rather radical changes to SCOTUS). Call their offices, day and night. Let them know that this is unacceptable and is a national health crisis on the scale of COVID. It’s a crisis of Democracy. It’s a crisis of national cohesion.

One last note, John Gruber over at Daring Fireball has a post on how to lock you iPhone so that you can only get in with a passcode. He also has another post on period tracking apps and how to make sure your health data remains private and inaccessible to law enforcement. Links to both below:
