A roundup of news and commentary from around the interwebs.

I joined a protest against abortion pills in Washington, D.C. the week after Roe fell—and it turns out that the hard work of pro-life groups across the states is really paying off. From Live Action News: “Walgreens has ‘no plans’ to dispense abortion pill in 21 states.”
***
The next round of abortion referendums is coming down the pipe. Ohio’s is particularly brutal. From National Review: “Ohio’s Disastrous Abortion Ballot Proposal.”
***
From Quillette, a devastating analysis of “transgender medicine”: “Hormones First. Research Later.”
***
On that subject, proceed with caution to this thread:
This story about a botched double mastectomy on a teenager is shocking and frankly horrifying. This is why such a procedure should be reserved for serious physical ailments like cancer. @sorenaldaco, I am so sorry this happened to you. I’m glad you feel empowered to share. https://t.co/6lDHjIuzZB

It will never not be weird that Biden simply lies about stuff like this constantly. Biden voted for DOMA in 1996 and was openly saying marriage should be between a man and a woman over a decade later. There’s a 2006 clip from a Meet The Press interview where he says exactly that. https://t.co/QM25m7T80T

I suspect this will come to Canada in short order, as well—Oregon’s assisted suicide count includes several “suicide tourist” deaths.

In case anyone is wondering how the Oscars went earlier this week, one of the awards was dedicated to drag kids:
***
That, and Jamie Lee Curtis—who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, thanked her “transgender daughter”—actually her son—in her speech, and announced later that in honor of “Ruby,” she’d be referring to her Oscar statuette as “they/them.” Which is weird. But also, consider:
When you hear people say 'Did you know that Jamie Lee Curtis actually had a trans daughter?,' what do you imagine?
Because the reality is a young person who seems vulnerable and psychologically troubled.
As a parent, I hope they have all the help and support that they need.… https://t.co/q7mewuZYb8 pic.twitter.com/ZBjwm1dYLo

But that’s where Hollywood is these days. Perhaps the prostration of our celebrity elites before the transgender movement is best summed up in this image—of Drew Barrymore literally getting on her knees before Dylan Mulvaney, a male cosplaying as a girl on social media:
Drew Barrymore and Dylan Mulvaney. A woman kneeling in front of a man. How degrading. How anti-woman. Remember, transgenderism is a religious ideology so worshipping the idol makes sense in a twisted way. pic.twitter.com/5WcX6qhg9N
