Pompeo formed a Commission on Unalienable Rights that focused on Revolution-era & post-WWII notions of rights, de-emphasizing issues like #discrimination & #ReproductiveRights, putting more focus on religious freedom & the right to private property.
The memo reviewed by NPR outlines changes that are far more sweeping.
For people in the #US:
The ovulation tracking app "Ovia" now mandates you identify in which state you live in. Delete immediately and warn others.

Yup. It's ALL ABOUT PROTECTING WOMEN! RIIIIIGHT!!!
A Woman Spent 2 Nights In Jail After She Miscarried. Advocates Say It's Only The Beginning.
It was the first such arrest in Georgia, but it likely won't be the last.
By Paige Skinner, April 8, 2025
Excerpt: "'This case impacts the young woman from Tifton, but it also impacts every single woman out there of reproductive age, who knows she can get pregnant, who knows she can miscarry,' Georgia state Sen. Sally Harrell told HuffPost. 'It makes every woman of reproductive age afraid.'"

"GOP leadership has set its sights in recent months on disempowering conservative-coded #women, especially. The state-level laws restricting #ReproductiveRights disproportionately affect Republican-voting women... And there's been a big push to take female leaders down a peg, with #MAGA influencers now openly saying women shouldn't be in leadership."

WI's high turnout suggests that voters can grasp that courts/ #RuleOfLaw matters. It turns out families talk about more than the price of groceries. Dems shouldn’t shy away from raising issues of justice & fairness & indiv #rights.
One of the leading issues -was in the st SC contest 2 yrs ago, was #ReproductiveRights. Dems in WI hammered away at the theme that the R-backed cand -would ban abortion +ARG their SC could affect citizens’ access to HC.

@The_Icarian Our local pregnancy center has everyone fooled. They pretend to be a medical clinic (they are not) & they do ultrasounds to show clients the "baby". If mom is hesitant to continue the pregnancy, she's told she needs more ultrasounds, until she's past the point where she can decide to end her pregnancy. It's insidious. They offer the only free pregnancy tests around, so they're busy. And it looks like a clinic. Deceitful. #reproductiverights #abortion #USPols
Of the ~25M #women who receive #ContraceptiveCare annually, 18% receive it from publicly supported #clinics, including #TitleX-funded centers, Baden said. They include women who are #LowIncome or #underinsured.
In 2019, during #Trump’s first term, his admin altered the half-century-old program banning clinics receiving Title X aid from referring patients for abortions.

The WSJ reported last week #RFKJr’s #HHS planned an immediate freeze of $27.5M in #FamilyPlanning grants for groups including #PlannedParenthood.
PPFA says >300 #health centers are in the #TitleX network & Title X-funded centers received >1.5M visits in 2023.
The loss of funding will mean that “cancers go undetected, access to #BirthControl is severely reduced, & the nation’s #STI crisis worsens,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, PPFA president.
#Trump admin to cut funds to #PlannedParenthood
The #nonprofit said that 9 of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as #TitleX, which has supported #healthcare services for the #poor since 1970.
