happy for every last photo to come out, sure, why not, but I think it’s been established that they regularly broke the laws they had passed. the question remains, how do we turn this into a real rupture? how do we make it matter?

I’ve literally never seen a black foetus illustrated, ever. This is amazing @ebereillustrate
