Don’t erase women
Amnesty’s brilliant decision to use Alabama’s murderous ban on abortion as an opportunity to ignore women by saying
Abortion bans like the one passed in Alabama are a violation of human rights. These bans will be deadly. They will endanger pregnant people’s lives.
is not going over well. Replies are uniformly furious.
Amnesty – you are part of the problem.
You are erasing women. It’s is women’s rights that are being attacked.
Name the problem. Or be part of the problem.

They will endanger WOMEN's lives. WOMEN. It is not a dirty word.

It’s infuriating. This is entirely about religiously motivated misogyny, but AI frames it like “police shootings of innocent citizens are bad”, while ignoring the racial component. But they’re woke!
