Abortion access is under attack even in California. The city of Beverly Hills made the work easy for antiabortion extremists, starting with a councilmember asking “how did this get through?” when she learned about the clinic.

How Beverly Hills became an unlikely battleground for the future of abortion rightswww.latimes.com The campaign by an antiabortion group to block the opening of a specialized clinic in Beverly Hills may offer a playbook for similar efforts in other cities and states.

This was actually one of our asks for the city - creating an ordinance prohibiting the use of city time and resources for complying with out of state investigations. We met with two council members about it. They said they’d look into it then we never heard from them again.

Not to mention our police share license plate data and camera footage with other departments in states that ban abortion.

Sounds familiar, except our city council just said fuck off

@jessicavalenti.bsky.social I’d love to speak with you about this story -we have emails from Beverly Hills city officials offering a quid pro quo deal to the Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust leader.

Thanks! I am, but there is still so much to tell, this article doesn’t even get into the quid pro quo deal the city directed the police to offer

Yeah! Hopefully now we can start getting an investigative journalist to really work on the story of the potential collusion.

Congratulations I'm so happy for you you've been working your fucking ass off for this

Truly. You know what I told my parents in September last year? “I’ll probably only have to do this for a few months and then I’m sure the news will run with it this is a huge story” 🤡
