Well, you know, abortion rights are people’s rights. Men are people too. /s
Welllll cis women just get hysterical on this topic donchaknow, so they had to get in three women2.0 for a proper, level-headed discussion. /s
I saw an American on Twitter commenting on police brutality breaking up a pro-choice demonstration on SC saying ‘we need to decide what sort of country we have.’ I think that was decided some time ago. Sadly.

Would the goal “truth and accuracy prevail” (June 25 2022, 2022 A2) be better achieved if The Globe and Mail actively prevented the erasure of “women” by “people” even in OPINION pieces such as “Roe v. Wade ruling will shape the future of United States” (A18), replacing “people’s actual lives” and “people whose lives it has so profoundly affected” by “women’s actual lives” and “women whose lives”?
elsewhere …
On page 11 of the May 7, 2022 issue of New Scientist, Signal Boost advertises “Help us to help people diagnosed with cancer when they are pregnant” and in the second paragraph says “Mummy’s Star supports women/people …” Thereafter only “women” and “mums” are referenced. The photograph, from lower chest to tops of legs, shows a plain wedding band on the fourth finger of the left hand of what could be a male hand of someone sporting a Mummy’s Star on an expanded abdomen sitting with a definite manspread.
