Rise Up to Defend Abortion Rights!

The attempted legal ban of the abortion drug mifepristone hinges on a 150-year old, archaic and previously dormant law called The Comstock Act of 1873, which has been described as “the only realistic way to force through a national ban” on abortions in general.

The judge who issued the recent ruling in Texas is Matthew Kacsmaryk, member of an emerging Christian fascist organization called the Teneo Network, whose goal is to “crush liberal dominance” everywhere.
