In the wake of the SCOTUS decision to end Roe v Wade, I know many of us are feeling frustrated, lost, or deflated. Take your time to feel those feelings, but return to the movement toward universal rights when ready.

If you’re looking to learn more about talking about abortion, ensure that you do so inclusively:

• Use language that includes trans men, transmasculine and nonbinary folks, and others outside the gender binary. One great example is this inclusive birthing language resource.
• Ensure that you’re creating accessible resources by learning more about accessibility in general.
• Do not engage in bigotry to prove your point. SCOTUS making this decision isn’t akin to ‘sharia law,’ and saying so is Islamaphobic.
• Don’t say that we should ban erectile dysfunction medications, too. Removing bodily autonomy for one group will not bring it back for another. Plus, many disabled folks and trans folks rely on these medications to access intimacy.

You can learn more about discussing abortion inclusively via a recent Substack post of mine.
