hey loves.

i just landed in missouri.

HI MISSOURI. 

i’m here, just landed from london.  i am so so tired.

you probably know. but....did you know? that your last abortion clinic is probably scheduled to close this week - making you the first state in the union to have NO SAFE, ACCESSIBLE ABORTIONS? 

it's true!!

so....you bet your ass i am walking around the airports of the midwest with this sucker on my jacket. 

whoever gave this pin to me in atlanta, thank you. 

i love you. 

NOW. ENOUGH OF THIS MEETING FANCY PEOPLE AND CELEBRATING MY HUSBANDS SUCCESSES IN BRITAIN SHIT. BACK TO WORK. for real. 

i didn’t plan it this way. i didn’t plan ANY OF THIS this way if you know what i mean. i didn't plan to be in dublin on the day of their abortion vote, either. but there you go. i was.

i am in MISSOURI, NOW, people. 

so if you're wondering when the fuck i am going to shut up about abortion rights and get back to my normally scheduled programming GUESS WHAT????

THIS IS IT. THIS IS THE SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING. THIS IS WHAT IT IS. THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AND OCULD BE NO OTHER FUCKING WAY.

plus, i gave you a ton of pretty innocuous floral pictures of a star-studded event, I HAVE EARNED ANOTHER MONTH OF RANT-Y ABORTION POSTS YOU MOTHERFUCKERS

okay!!!!!

so here's what, now that i'm here.

i am going to join an EMERGENCY RESPONSE RALLY TOMORROW IN ST. LOUIS - planned parenthood just invited me to speak. 

of course. we do this. who needs sleep. 11:30 AM!!!!! luther ely smith park, downtown. 

ST. LOUVIANS, SPREAD THE WORD. bring your story, your musical instruments, your righteous anger, make a sign, grab your sons and daughters out of school and teach them about the importance of peaceful protest and community action. 🔥

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL PEOPLE.

See you tomorrow. We’re driving two hours from Carbondale, ILLINOIS where you can still get a safe and legal abortion. Illinois might kinda suck (born and bred) but at least we have that. Sleep well.

I'll see ya at the rally and later at the show!! Can't wait!

Rant away!! What's happening with the erosion of women's reproductive rights over there is fucking terrifying. Its like watching a dystopian horror show in real time. And to be honest I've just got up in the UK to Esther fucking McVey on breakfast TV making her pitch to be leader of the conservative party, and therefore the country - if you dunno who she is google 'Esther McVey and benefits deaths' or 'Esther mcVey and foodbanks' or 'Esther McVey and disabilities'. If not us, who? If not now, when? Get out there and kick some arse! (I have some great boots I can lend you) <3

You are amazing! I'm sitting here in Vermont grateful for my state who is protecting a woman's right to choose what to do with her body. I'm absolutely stunned and shaken that the opposite seems to be happening in so many other states. I'm grateful for your voice and your strength for women everywhere. Now, show them what we're made of!

Work and no one to cover for me will prevent my attendance at the rally but THANK YOU SO MUCH for committing to attend. ❤️ We need your voice as much as ever. We need all the voices. It’s horrifying that the State leadership is stripping away our constitutional rights, with no regard for the safety of the citizens they are sworn to protect. Thank you for being in StL. Thank you for being a champion of the people. Thank you for being. See you at The Pageant! The Chicago show was brilliant and my heart is singing that I’m able to see it again, especially today. You are loved!

I HAVE AN EXTRA TICKET FOR TONIGHT IN ST LOUIS. (Also posted on the FB group). If anyone needs a ticket, please let me know?

Elaine Snyder

Amanda, thank you for fighting for civil and reproductive rights. I am with you, screaming, writing, protesting when I can. All hands on deck.

Kimberly Bradshaw

I gave you the pin at Grimey's in Nashville! (you let me hop onstage to talk about being an abortion doula) It's from CHOICES, an independent clinic in Memphis, TN. Happy to see you rocking our pin.

Martha Mountain

ALL THE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT! Keep up the amazingness! Proud to be along for the ride.

I have 2 tix for tonight's show (section B, Row C, Sears 1-2). I had something come up & can't go. I'm selling for face value ($90/pair). I hate that I'm going to miss it but I want something else to enjoy it in my place.

We're driving from Champaign! Illinois has been a dumpster fire the last few years but I'm grateful we still have access to abortion.

How much are you selling for? I have a activist pastor friend looking for a ticket
