I was 12 when the Whitlam government was elected, and not aware of all of this stuff. But “I am Woman” was released that year, and I’m not sure that any song has ever impacted me so strongly. I hadn’t realised that so many of the Whitlam government’s reforms were straight from WEL.
“Women’s Studies” was one of my majors in the 90s, but by then the “f -word” was disappointingly out of vogue.

Missouri house passes amendment re-establishing abortion ban
In addition to the abortion language, the proposed amendment also would place in the constitution a ban on transgender youth accessing gender-affirming health care.

While #Trump is illegally ignoring Supreme Court decisions in order to advance his #fascist agenda, #PierrePoilievre, as Prime Minister, would seek to use, for the first time ever by the federal government, the Canadian Constitution's #NotwithstandingClause in order to end what he calls "#WokeCulture" in the #PublicService and in the #military.
But he denies being a "mini-Trump"

#Trump administration refers #Maine to #DOJ over #TransgenderAthletes
by Brooke Migdon - 04/11/25
"The Department of Education on Friday referred a #TitleIX investigation into Maine schools to the #JusticeDepartment after the state failed to reach a resolution with the Trump administration over a finding that it violated federal anti-discrimination law by allowing transgender students to participate in girls’ sports.
" 'The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda [sic] over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,' said Craig Trainor, acting assistant Education secretary for [WHAT A JOKE] civil rights.
"The Education Department in its announcement said it will also initiate administrative proceedings to determine whether to terminate federal #K12 education funding for Maine’s state education department, including formula and discretionary grants.
"'The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department,' Trainor said. 'Governor [Janet] Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.'
"Both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which recently began investigating schools and states that allow transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports, said in March that Maine had violated Title IX, the federal civil rights law against sex discrimination that the Trump White House says prohibits trans athletes from competing on girls’ and women’s teams."

“President #Trump & #ElonMusk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping #health care access from people nationwide, & not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause,” Johnson said in a stmnt.
Federally funded programs such as #TitleX are crucial in providing access to #affordable #ReproductiveHealthcare, said Kelly Baden, VP for public policy at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports #AbortionRights.

A #NY state court on Thurs blocked #Texas from filing a legal action against a NY #doctor for prescribing & sending #abortion pills to a TX woman.
The unprecedented move catapults the interstate abortion wars to a new level, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle between states that ban abortion & states that support #AbortionRights.
The dispute is widely expected to reach #SCOTUS, pitting TX, which has a near-total #AbortionBan, against NY.

In the 'most democratic country' you can keep on voting... for nearly every public office.
[Unlike my country, the Netherlands 
, where we can vote 3 times in every 4 years, provided the government doesn't crash]
Extreme Christian right has been doing this for decades, and you can see that it works.
Democrats and left wingers have been neglecting to do the same, and you can see that it doesn't work. Culture wars on books and sex been made to deflect from issues like #HealthCare #AbortionRights etc.
This year should be different: pick the best governer or mayor, not the sweetest talker. Study their voting behaviour. Study, point blank.
Pack the courts, schoolboards etc

"Despite Trump’s campaign promise to not block access to abortion medication, several of his cabinet picks have pledged to take another look at the safety of mifepristone, keeping the door open for future regulations. There have already been numerous studies proving the safety of mifepristone."

Missouri AG issues order barring Planned Parenthood clinics from providing medication abortions
