Why don’t we believe women’s warnings about Roe v. Wade?

Last week, The Atlantic reported that a popular, Netherlands-based online group that ships medication abortion pills anywhere in the world has officially begun shipping to the United States. Women on the Web’s sister site, Aid Access, has already shipped pills to more than 600 U.S.-based women as of last week, after originally citing concerns of opposition from powerful American anti-choice groups.

“Pregnant? Don’t Want To Be? Call Jane.”

This fall, Elisabeth Moss signed on to star in a movie about the underground abortion service Jane. There are, in fact, at least three films currently in the works about this legendary network that was once known as “the best kept secret” in Chicago.

Friday Feminist Fuck Yeah: The Women of the Supreme Court

As you likely know, the Supreme Court heard opening arguments this week in the most important abortion case in decades. For a recap of the day’s proceedings, I recommend Dahlia Lithwick’s account of the three women justices — Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan — “pounding on Texas’ solicitor general for passing abortion regulations that have no plausible health purpose and also seem pretty stupid.”
