In Missouri, women can’t get abortions or a divorce if they’re pregnant, while men convicted of domestic abuse can own guns. That combination will get women killed. It is not safe to be a woman in a Red state.

I know that sadly some folks are being forced to learn how to be criminals for the first time so here's some advice from someone who grew up around crime: No phonecalls No paper trails No digital footprints You make your plans face to face in private locations, no exceptions

If you are gonna travel out of state to have an abortion, DO NOT make plans/arrangements on FB or Messenger. They’ll notify the police.
