What: If you can't make it to a protest in person today, do set aside some time and mental energy for the clarity, resolve, and righteous fury of pieces like these ---
"The Messiness of Reproduction and the Dishonesty of Anti-Abortion Propaganda," Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker
"Anti-Abortion Lawmakers Have No Idea How Women's Bodies Work," Jessica Valenti, Medium
"The Harm Done for White Men," Jamil Smith, Rolling Stone
"Our Fury Over Abortion Was Dismissed for Decades as Hysterical," Rebecca Traister, The Cut
Representative quote: "And still those who are mad about, have been driven mad by, these injustices have been told that their fury is baseless, fictional, made of chewing gum and recycled copies of Our Bodies Ourselves." -- Rebecca Traister
Connections to previous Wreckage: Jia Tolentino, Rebecca Traister, and Jessica Valenti were all part of List #66: Public Voices to Pay Attention To. See also Traister's "When the Muzzle Comes Off" (Rec. #663) and Good and Mad (Rec. #737).
