- Pay attention. Trump effectively green-lit violence against abortion clinics and patients. Now, extremists say they’re “going to disrupt this country” as much as they can. 🧵👇
- Last year, Trump pardoned 23 people convicted of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act). Many of the pardoned were in prison for physically blocking patients from accessing their doctors. Some also broke into clinics, stole fetal tissues, or accosted pregnant people.
- These get-out-of-jail-free cards only invite anti-abortion extremists to step up their attacks on reproductive health clinics with impunity—just look at what they are saying to national media outlets.

- “These lawmakers are relentless in their attempts to scare doctors and patients from prescribing and accessing abortion pills – exactly because they are so safe, effective, and widely used across the United States.” — @reprorights.org's Associate Litigation Director, Marc Hearron
- ⚠️BREAKING: A California doctor is facing the first lawsuit under Texas’s new extreme bounty hunter abortion ban. If Texas wants this fight, we’re ready. The doctor is now our client, and we’ll be defending them in court.
- Our client is the first known to be sued under the law, but doctors aren't the only ones being targeted. ANYONE believed to deliver or provide abortion pills in Texas is at risk too—from a dad who hands his daughter pills to the pharmaceutical company that manufactures them.
- The new law, which took effect early December, provides a bounty of at least $100K for anyone who successfully sues another person for allegedly mailing or providing abortion pills to someone in Texas.

- At 17, with no money or legal options, actress Sally Field had to cross the border to get the abortion she needed. She reminds us that bans don’t stop abortions from happening. They just make getting them safely more complicated. Like she says, we ALL have to stand up and fight.
- Our basic human rights will ALWAYS be worth fighting for.
