At ComstockCon (amazing abortion conference I recently attended) panelists talked about how we focus on one type of abortion story—white, married women with a wanted pregnancy who need an abortion because of a medical exception—and how this actually hurts efforts for solidarity in the movement.

hard not to notice the subtext of the bewildered man with the Rangers cap, as the photojournalism angle.

That sounds amazingly informative and I’m sad that I’m just now hearing about this event.

More here: "Isolating married white women with exceptions as the prime victims of anti-abortion laws is quite the opposite of solidarity: It elevates them above poor and Black and Brown and queer and disabled and immigrant women who faced barriers to terminating pregnancies well before Roe fell."

This is a great point. I think that you'll find Texans know these laws are extra hard on the poor and minorities. About 50% are extra angry about that, and 50% DGAF. But that second group *does* care when it affects nice white women, and so that's how the argument is often framed.
