On July 5, progressive activists from western Mass. showed up at the Easthampton City Council meeting which was considering a modest ordinance that would provide information about reproductive and gender-affirming medical care, and protect people seeking those services from being reported to other states.
I am a physician who has long been aware of, and done a fair amount of reading about, the anti-abortion centers (AACs, aka crisis pregnancy centers) that seek to bring all pregnancies to term. So when IMC’s Feminist Action Team asked for volunteers to attend open houses at several of these facilities in June, I didn’t hesitate. I went online to RSVP.
During a recent standout held by Greater Andover Indivisible and Solidarity Lowell at the Pregnancy Care Center (PCC) in Lowell, a PCC Board member came out to talk — insisting that we should not be protesting without knowing what his center does.
I recently learned about “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (CPCs) and feel compelled to shout from the rooftops the enraging facts I now know. These centers often pretend to provide pregnancy care. But they are usually no more than anti-abortion propaganda centers.
On Mother’s Day weekend, the IMC Feminist Action Team organized activists across Massachusetts to hold coordinated stand outs at nine of the anti-abortion Crisis Pregnancy Centers in the state. Despite our state’s AG and Governor’s stance against these fake centers, there are between 30-60 of these unregulated anti-abortion centers in MA.

The midterms loom, and we're all needed to get out the vote. We did it in 2018, 2020 and we CAN and MUST do it again in 2022!
At the height of the ‘60s, a group of young women in Chicago dropped out of the male-dominated civil rights and anti-war movements to do something about terrible experiences pregnant women were facing.
Indivisible members protested around the Commonwealth on May 14, 2022 to show our determination to protect abortion rights. Young and old, women and allies expressed their anger at Justice Alito’s dismissive draft opinion. The feeling in the crowd was angry and frustrated — but also energized, determined, and even humorous. Large rallies were held elsewhere in the state and around the U.S. to send a clear message: We’re not going back!
Residents of Texas who need access to abortion must now leave their home state to access care. Texans are essentially living as if it were 1972, before Roe vs. Wade. Anyone who seeks abortion care — and those who help them — can be severely penalized.
