❤️ Our right to reproductive freedom must be protected. Read the latest updates and join the movement to hold our leaders accountable to the people's will.
Hi there! Just a heads up once in awhile, we will share various briefings for your review. A well-informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny! In light of the lies last night by JD Vance on the Affordable Care Act, the January 6th Insurrection, and a nationwide abortion ban, it is more important than ever we stay up on the latest news and be vigilant with activism. - Laurie
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 2, 2024
People Power United declares that MAGA Republicans are relentlessly attacking reproductive freedom, undermining the rights and autonomy of millions of Americans. Their harmful agenda puts personal medical decisions in the hands of politicians, stripping away essential healthcare and endangering lives.
In response to recent MAGA shenanigans to harm Americans, People Power United - a progressive grassroots group - issued the following statement:
“We must stand united to protect reproductive justice and preserve the rights of all people to control their own bodies. There is no power like that of the people, and People Power United stands ready to protect our communities against any and all injustices,” said Laurie Woodward García of People Power United.
People Power United will continue to oppose such harm to our community and champion civil rights for all.

The Hill By Tara Suter: Amber Thurman's family thanks Tim Walz, condemns GOP on abortion
In a statement Tuesday, Thurman’s family said they “commend Governor Tim Walz for telling Amber’s story and for his unwavering commitment to defending women’s reproductive rights.”
Boston Globe By Joan Vennochi: In the Vance-Walz debate, Vance proved to be the bigger liar
Call it disingenuous or call it a lie, that is something that voters should care about given the questions about the future of reproductive rights during another Trump administration.
ABC News By Bill Barrow , Zeke Miller , Nicholas Riccardi: Vance and Walz keep it civil in a policy-heavy discussion: VP debate takeaways
Walz pounced on Vance repeatedly over abortion access and reproductive rights as the Ohio senator tried to argue that a state-by-state matrix of abortion laws is the ideal approach for the United States. Walz countered that a “basic right” for a woman should not be determined “by geography.”
Politico By Daniel Payne : Doctors ‘fight like hell’ against a second Trump admin: ‘Elections do matter for your health
Doctors’ strong support for Harris is the culmination of a political shift that started with the battles over patients’ rights and HMOs in the early 2000s and gained speed with Donald Trump’s 2016 run — which drove educated professionals into the Democratic Party. Until then, physicians, as individuals and the organizations representing them, gave more to GOP candidates in every election cycle since the 1990s, save 2008.
Mother Jones by Julianne McShane: Big Tech Would Be Key to Delivering Project 2025’s Anti-Abortion Plans
If Project 2025 becomes a reality under a second Trump term, there are several ways it plans to further restrict and surveil abortion access nationwide, including criminalizing the mailing of abortion pills and forcing states to turn over abortion data to the federal government. Many of these proposals have received wide media coverage thanks in part to Democrats’ aggressive campaigning on Project 2025.

One of the original aims of prometing abortion was simple population control. It was pitched to low income or black & brown people & women in jail, to be sure that the numbers of those population would not make them a majority who could possibly challenge the elites with the power of political majority in the U.S. I believe that abortion should be legal in the three exceptional cases, rape, incest & a threat to the life of the women & that's all. Nethier side of the Pro & Con in this debate sees any room on which to compromise. Majority rule will decide the issue in the long run.
