When South By Southwest held its major abortion panel a year ago, the largest ballroom was filled with people wanting to hear from abortion advocates Amanda Zurawski and Samantha Casiano along with Nancy Northrup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, and Elizabeth Monteleone, chief legal officer for Austin-based online dating platform Bumble Inc.
This year, Northrup and Monteleone returned along with Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation and producer of the documentary "Zuwarski v. Texas;" and Jamila K. Taylor, the president and CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
This year, the focus was on what businesses could do to support abortion access. The convention center room was only one-third full, while a line outside the room snaked through several levels to see a keynote with actor Joe Manganiello next door.
Clinton said access to abortion "is not just about patient health and well-being, it is a matter of society, economic and fiscal health."
She meets people who will say to her: "It's terrible what's happening to women in Arkansas," where she grew up before her father became president; "It's terrible what's happening in Texas. It's terrible what's happening in Idaho." Then she turns it to, "Do you see what's happening in America in the year of our Lord 2025?"
Abortion access is a "painfully American" problem, "one we think that everyone needs to bear witness to," Clinton said.
Northup said Americans "have to have a rallying cry: 'Remember Dobbs,'" a play on the Texas slogan "Remember the Alamo" and a reference to the 2022 Supreme Court decision that undid the abortion access protections of 1973's Roe v. Wade decision.

...especially for the baby, you monster.
There is some good news. It seems that self administered abortions accomplished with a plastic coat hanger are less likely to go bad than those administered with the now near obsolete wire coat hangers.
In some City State locales, the absence of the old wire coat hangers was causing a problem among young Black women
What is painful is the powerful American women murdering all the babies.
Coupled with trashing sexual mores and the sanctity of the family.
The left considers access to abortion at any stage of the pregnancy the most sacred right.
Dang, Chels! Did you steal Frankenstein’s wardrobe?
I am an advocate of a post birth abortion on Pelosi . There is no murder, merely post birth abortion that is apparently legal in lots of places
Yes. Fewer sacrifices to Moloch.
**Dang, Chels! Did you steal Frankenstein’s wardrobe?**
She has an ugly mind, therefore her getup is fitting, especially the 10 ply mud and snow shoes.
She just needs neck bolts and a forehead scar to complete the look.
Will these Clingons never go away? Billy has been and still is an old joke. Hitlary is the witch from hell. Now Hubbel’s spawn is eyeing the pitchfork?
She has NO fear of God. None.
Ugly, inside and out.
Chelsea Clinton, entitled satanist baby-killing, upside down cross wearing grifter. Bit@h actually used money for Haitian orphans to pay for her wedding.
Gag me.
I’m old enough to remember when SXSW was primarily about music and not evil Democrat politics.
Oh, it’s Austin and they slipped stuff in here and there, but not at the level where you have nasty people like Clinton crooks showing up and shoving their crap down people’s throats.
It looks like someone could get a DNA sample and compare it to Web’s family.
Aren’t you glad she just hates money.
SXSW has become increasingly political, and the politics align with liberal Austin.
They invited Dylan Mulvaney, the “trans” activist/social media influencer who single-handedly destroyed Budweiser, to be a keynote speaker at a business conference. He/”she” gave a speech... and I kid you not... about building business brands. Mulvaney has been a speaker there for the past 3 years.
SXSW was taken over by Penske Media, which had already acquired a big stake in the business. Before they took over, insiders told me Elon Musk had made an offer for a controlling interest.
I think he knew he was going to need to spend (invest) some money somewhere to minimize his tax obligations because of how his pay was structured. When SXSW turned him down, he moved on and bought Twitter.
It would have been pretty cool if he had taken over SXSW. But maybe it was for the best. That event would have been a lot more vulnerable to boycotts by the left than his other businesses.
