WAR ON WOMEN: Arson at Abortion Clinics Is up 100 Percent; Trump Is Guilty of Sexual Abuse and Defamation; Republicans Try to End No-Fault Divorce

U.S. patriarchal authoritarianism is on the rise, and democracy is on the decline. But day after day, we stay vigilant in our goals to dismantle patriarchy at every turn. The fight is far from over. We are watching, and we refuse to go back. This is the War on Women Report.


Since Our Last Report ….

After months of student activism, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) committed to signing a bill that requires CUNY and SUNY campuses to provide medication abortion at student health centers into law. The bill would serve over 500,000 students and goes into effect on Aug. 1.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) signed a first-of-its-kind law to shield consumer health data in order to protect abortion access—including access to information from period tracking apps or location data from people visiting abortion clinics.

Hadley Gamble, a former CNBC journalist and correspondent, filed a complaint accusing former NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell of pressuring her for sex for years.

After the May 6 mass shooting in Texas—which was the second-deadliest in the U.S. this year and killed eight people—Gov. Greg Abbott (R) shared on Fox News, “I think that the state in which the largest number of victims occurred this year is in California, where they have very tough gun laws.” In fact, states with fewer gun laws have higher gun death rates and red states have higher gun death rates than blue states.

In Kentucky, Heather Maberry was unable to get an abortion even though her fetus was diagnosed with anencephaly—it was missing part of its head and skull. An Idaho woman, Jennifer Adkins, was denied an abortion despite her fetus having a severe abnormality that is almost always fatal (Turner syndrome). Finally, a 22-year-old woman in Arizona was forced to carry her pregnancy to term despite her daughter having a fatal diagnosis. Stories of women being denied abortion care are going to get worse.

Let’s not forget what else was thrown our way last month.
