#23: Reproductive Rights Are Disability Rights
Shit is bleak in the United States.
I don’t really have words to express the range of emotions I’m feeling right now over the Roe v. Wade news: rage, despair, grief, fear, abject sadness. I’m going to let people who are far more eloquent than me do the talking today.
Please read the joint statement released by the American Association of People with Disabilities, Autistic Self Advocacy Network, Autistic Women and Nonbinary Network, Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law, Be A Hero Center for American Progress, Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, Little Lobbyists, and Women Enabled International.
Stay well, friends.

Where to Donate
Do not donate directly to politicians. They don’t need your money as much as actual clinics and abortion access funds do. Donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, Keep Our Clinics, the National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, the National Abortion Federation, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Midwest Access Coalition, or any of the funds below. States in bold are states where it’s almost certain that lawmakers will prohibit abortion. Not all 50 states are listed because it was completely dependent on what information I could find online.
You should also check out organizations like If/When/How and National Advocates for Pregnant Women. They’re fighting for people who have been criminalized over their reproductive decisions. RAINN is also a great organization to donate to because we should always be supporting survivors of rape, abuse, and incest.
