The principle of bodily autonomy is fundamental to personal freedom, self-determination, and individual rights. It encompasses a wide range of issues, such as the right to make choices about medical treatment, reproductive rights, gender identity, sexual orientation, and personal appearance. This phrase is often used in various social and political contexts to advocate for the rights of marginalized groups, including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those who may face discrimination or restrictions on their personal choices. #gymmembership #workout #Dailyworkout #fitnesstransformation #hardcore 💪 💪

How to maximize the benefits and avoid the pitfalls of corporate advocacy "Willingly or unwillingly, today’s brands have stepped into the spotlight as unlikely advocates of social causes, such as LGBTQ+ rights, environmental conservation and reproductive rights. This coincides with a waning sense of faith in traditional leadership platforms, especially when it comes to effecting societal change. As such, we see consumers’ expectations shifting – it’s not just about products and experiences, it’s about products, experiences, communications and cultural influences that all combine to make a positive impact."

We couldn’t have said it better, Senator Baldwin. Since the Supreme Court dismantled Roe, more than 20 states have moved to restrict or ban abortion. The Supreme Court has decided to consider two cases that would severely limit choice: one blocking a lower court’s decision that patients who require an abortion to save their life are entitled to an abortion, and another on access to mifepristone. This call to limit bodily autonomy is why we’ve also seen a historic number of anti-LGBTQ+ bills. In the 2023 legislative session, over 490 anti-LGBTQ laws were introduced in state legislatures according to the ACLU, forcing 40 percent of trans adults to consider moving in the past year. This fight impacts all of us. #roe #lgbtqia #lgbtq #prochoice

Why isn't reproductive health a greater priority on the LGBTQ+ movement's policy and advocacy agenda? Last week I shared an infographic based on data from the National LGBTQ+ Women's (gender expansive and trans inclusive) Community Survey - pointing to a growing generational divide around political engagement and expectations. This week's infographic identifies a strong point of convergence: 1 in 3 respondents in our survey identified access to affordable health care - particularly reproductive health care (including abortion) - as their top policy priority and concern. That proportion has likely grown exponentially in the wake of the repeal of Roe v Wade and punitive and cruel restrictions on reproductive health care access in Republican controlled states. Download the infographic below to see what other major policy priorities of queer women across the country.
