U.S. patriarchal authoritarianism is on the rise, and democracy is on the decline. But day after day, we stay vigilant in our goals to dismantle patriarchy at every turn. The fight is far from over. We are watching, and we refuse to go back. This is the War on Women Report.
Since Our Last Report…
Scientists and healthcare providers are raising concerns about the 15-week abortion ban proposed by Senate Republicans, particularly its effect on older mothers. Fetuses conceived among older mothers tend to have more abnormalities, which often can’t be identified before 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Let’s not forget what else was thrown our way this month.

+ NARAL Pro-Choice America’s new research analyzed how the anti-choice movement is speading misinformation by falsely framing its agenda as “pro-woman.” We already know the harm that abortion bans have caused women and pregnant people since the overturn of Roe in June. In light of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) proposed nationwide 15-week abortion ban, NARAL’s report exposes the anti-choice movement’s enforcement of fake feminism to validate restrictions of abortion care—especially fake heath centers, also known as crisis pregnancy centers, which claim to “support women,” but actually lie to people in order to prevent them from accessing care. NARAL’s team also analyzed the rampant transphobia and homophobia weaponized against pregnant people by the anti-choice movement, which is often under the façade of “protecting women.”
With the midterm elections are in full swing, it is crucial to name these tactics as misinformation. Abortion is on the ballot and President Joe Biden promised that if Democrats expand their Senate ranks in the midterms, the first bill he will send to Congress will codify abortion rights at the federal level.
