“When it comes to women, they don’t get rights. They get restrictions…. I have five daughters and eight granddaughters, and the one thing I worry about more than anything else is their health. I like to see their happy faces. I like to see them feeling good… So I want them to have doctors making decisions, not some employer who has a self-righteous moral view that he wants to impose on my daughter, my granddaughter, my wife. Nuh uh. On our side of the aisle, we believe that women are capable of making their own healthcare decisions.”
- Frank Lautenberg (New Jersey State Senator (D) from 1982 to 2001)

"The Biden administration on Monday announced new rules designed to safeguard the privacy of abortion providers and patients seeking the procedure, a move which comes in response to threats from conservative prosecutors putting abortion in their crosshairs.
"The rules announced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will bar doctors, insurers and other health-care groups from making health information available to state officials investigating, prosecuting, or filing a lawsuit against a patient or provider.
They shield both people crossing state lines to seek a legal abortion and those who are not covered under a given state’s abortion ban due to being a rape survivor, for example.
The new regulations update the healthy privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which dates to 1996 and did not anticipate today’s uncertain reproductive rights landscape.
Prior to the new rules taking effect — which won’t happen for at least two months — it will remain legal for organizations to share private health information with law enforcement investigating crimes."

"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.
Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment. The announcement marks a significant update in federal efforts to combat sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions. During a call with reporters, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring that Title IX effectively serves all students by providing safe, welcoming, and rights-respecting educational environments."

"Following a travel warning issued for LGBTQ+ tourists in Greece, these are the European countries that are most welcoming to queer people.
An update, published on the UK government’s foreign travel advice page, has warned that same-sex couples could experience discrimination in certain parts of Greece.
The warning comes after a mob attack against two transgender people in Thessaloniki last month, during which the victims were verbally assaulted and bottles were thrown at them."

Help fight back against the GOP's War on Women and LGBTQIA+!!!
Readers, this week I volunteered to do some online help for Aria Medical, https://www.ariamedical.org/
"Aria Medical is a medication abortion clinic serving people traveling from abortion ban states, like Texas and Oklahoma. We are located in Kansas. We want to make sure people know they are not alone -- that there is help available. Some people with undesired pregnancies don't even know where to start looking, and if they google "how to find an abortion," they often get anti-abortion clinic advertisements."
PLEASE HELP THIS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT ORG VIA A DONATION: https://bit.ly/support--Aria-Medical
You can donate your own amount, just put your desired contribution into the $0.00 field.
From the org:
"The end of Roe created a public health emergency for people in 14 states that ban abortion.
Aria Medical launched in January 2023 to expand capacity in Kansas for the thousands of people from Texas, Oklahoma and other states who must leave home to get an abortion.
Aria served over 3100 people in the first year.
90% of Aria patients are very low income, and need financial support to cover their costs.
Aria’s biggest funder is closing down operations in September.
Aria seeks one-time and sustaining donors to ensure they never turn away a patient because they cannot pay."
Click here to learn about the clinic and here to donate."
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND PLEASE SHARE!!! THE GOP WAR ON WOMEN & LGBTQIA+ WON'T STOP UNTIL WE STOP IT.
