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.

You are complicit in this because you no longer name us and use the correct terminology. You are part of the movement to erase women.

Women. It will endanger women. If you can't address the basics of this argument, you've already lost it. Don't erase women.
