For people who are faced with image after image of Black bodies brutalized by those sworn to protect them, it is not simply a question of “Do we want to have children?” It is the realization that these youngins will have to grow up too soon and fear for their lives in a world that is clearly anti-Black.
Equality advocates appealed a ruling that threw out a legal challenge to SB 2, a Republican-supported North Carolina law that allows magistrates and other civil servants to refuse to participate in same-sex marriages.

“While many topics deserve the candidates’ consideration—from job creation to immigration to national security—safe and reliable access to abortion is fundamental to all Americans’ ability to determine our own destinies,” pro-choice organizations wrote in a letter to debate moderator Lester Holt.
The countless examples of the Fox News host’s often extreme and controversial claims about people of color and issues pertaining to race include exclaiming “all lives matter” at protesters during a previous town hall on immigration.

HUSH relies almost exclusively on interviews with renowned anti-choice “experts” whose work has been discredited.
