The Gilead Gazette: Pregnant Girls Vanish in TX, GOP Backs Executing Patients, FDA Comes for the Pill
from The Rogue Voice Podcast with Linsay Rousseau · host Linsay Rousseau
This week on the Gilead Gazette: a new report from City St George’s, University of London found that media coverage of violence against women has hit a record low, even as the attacks escalate. So here’s what the press isn’t covering.The Trump administration funneled pregnant, unaccompanied immigrant girls, some as young as 13 and roughly half pregnant as a result of rape, into a single facility in San Benito, Texas, a state that bans abortion. A former Trump health official described the strategy as “100% and exclusively about abortion.” Rep. Maxine Dexter, a physician, was blocked from seeing any of the children, and the number held at the facility has dropped sharply, raising fears the girls have been deported, along with their US-citizen newborns.The Republican Party of Texas announced that Abolish Abortion Texas, a group that supports charging abortion patients with homicide, is an official sponsor of its 2026 state convention. The FDA launched a new “safety study” of mifepristone, a drug proven safe over 25 years and hundreds of studies, with results conveniently not expected until after the November midterms. And House Republicans voted to cut $141 million from WIC, slashing fruit and vegetable benefits for low-income mothers and children.Plus: a federal judge blocked Trump’s $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” on May 29, which was set to compensate anti-abortion extremists; Tennessee candidate Monty Fritts wants abortion patients charged with murder; and wins in Nevada and Illinois.Sources:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/01/pregnant-minors-texas-ice-facilityhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/fda-abortion-pill-safety-study_n_6a223725e4b0d8021c9f018chttps://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/apr/17/media-coverage-violence-against-women-low-reportAbortion, Every Day Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
