DESCRIPTION:June 9, a Federal Court upheld the Texas anti-abortion law HB2 which means 
 that all but 8 clinics in the huge state of Texas will be forced to close.  
 On July 1st, new restrictions on abortion are scheduled to go into effect 
 in Kansas and Tennessee. \n\nThese laws are part of a national onslaught 
 against abortion rights and birth control. Over 330 restrictions have been 
 introduced nationwide already this year.  This cannot be tolerated if women 
 are going to be treated as full human beings.   These laws will have 
 devastating effects on the lives of women across the country, and 
 especially in the Deep South, where new restrictions have forced many 
 abortion clinics to close. These unprecedented attacks on abortion rights, 
 whether they come down in Texas, Kansas, Ohio, Tennessee or anywhere, are 
 attacks on all women. None of these laws have anything to do with "life." 
 They are about slamming women back to the Dark Ages, reducing them to mere 
 breeders.\n\nOn July 1st, as many as half the abortion clinics in Tennessee 
 are expected to close due to new restrictions which require abortion 
 facilities to meet the same physical standards as a mini-emergency room 
 (even though early abortion is an extremely simple, outpatient 
 procedure).\n\nThe new Kansas law set for July 1st sets a dangerous 
 precedent by banning the most common and safe procedure for performing an 
 abortion after the first trimester of pregnancy. The effect is devastating 
 when a woman needs a second trimester abortion and is denied. Now in 2015, 
 starting but not ending in Kansas, the next stage of banning a medical best 
 practice for abortion has been signed into law. If best practices for 
 doctors in giving women the choice to decide what to do with their futures 
 can be banned at earlier and earlier points in the pregnancy, the legal 
 right to a safe abortion is a formality, not a reality.\n\nEveryone who 
 cares about women’s lives must take a stand. Take to the streets July 
 1st. PROTEST!\n\nForced Motherhood is Female Enslavement.\nAbortion On 
 Demand & Without Apology!\n
