It should be pretty clear by now that, for several big chunks of the country, abortion under any circumstances will become illegal. That’s why it’s crucial right now to raise money for those most vulnerable as a result of The Supreme Court’s turn to the Dark Side with their overturning of Roe vs. Wade last week.
We’re going to use this particular post to shout out upcoming LA & NYC comedy shows that are supporting abortion funds/abortion access/reproductive rights/etc. The ones we’ve got listed thus far have great folks on them and have chosen critical funds/orgs to back. Buy tickets, go support, and/or donate directly to the places they’re giving money to.
