arkansas, mississippi, and other states just this year, since the election, push things further than they ve ever been pushed since roe v. wade. do you feel like we are entering a patch area in which the rights are not protected? that s our concern. that your right to safe and legal abortion, your right to birth control, shouldn t depend on your zip code. yet we see the worst bills, one bill i don t think that many folks were aware, was just sign need law in kansas that allows medical practitioners to lie to women about ultra sounds, about other genetic testing, refuse to give them information that would influence their decision about their pregnancy. this is now signed into law. it goes into effect in july. basically allowing doctors to lie to women in order to influence their decisions about pregnancy. this is the most incredible invasion in women s privacy and their ability to make their own
