From her years as President of NARAL Pro-Choice America (now known as Reproductive Freedom for All) to her work in her home state of Montana, Nancy shares lessons from the frontlines and how everyday people can be effective advocates during this critical moment.
post- #Dobbs legal landscape…opened the door for #lawenforcement to exploit virtually any form of data—license plates, phone records, #geolocation data—to pursue individuals across state lines…more than 1,800 agencies have deployed ALPRs, but at least 4,000 agencies are able to run searches through some agencies in Flock's network…share the data freely with other agencies across the country, with little oversight, restriction, or even standards for accessing data.

At the same time, the rise of #telehealth #abortion has put “new pressures in the older-school, brick-&-mortar facilities,”said Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor who maps brick-&-mortar abortion clinics across the US.
Until a few years ago, doctors could prescribe abortion pills only in person. Those restrictions were lifted during the pandemic, but it was the #Dobbs decision in 2022 that really "accelerated expansions in telehealth,”Myers said.

As @TonyStark would say, this assault on women's rights and bodies wouldn't be happening if people voted for Harris.
