The Gilead Gazette: Vets Sue Trump, Slush Fund for Clinic Stalkers, Tradwives Want to Repeal Women's Vote

Minority Veterans of America filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over the Department of Veterans Affairs abortion ban, which was quietly implemented three days before Christmas in 2025. The ban prevents VA providers from offering abortion care or even counseling, even in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening pregnancy. The legal memo justifying the policy argued that the ban “protects” veterans from depression that can follow abortion. The lead plaintiff is a pregnant veteran whose own VA doctor is now legally forbidden from discussing abortion with her.Politico’s Alice Miranda Ollstein reported that the fine print of Trump’s $1.7 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund specifically names people convicted under the FACE Act, the federal law that protects abortion clinics from violence and obstruction. The story comes the same week the National Abortion Federation released its annual violence report: death threats against clinics doubled in 2025, stalking doubled, blockades surged 500%, and clinics suffered four arsons after zero in 2024.In Texas, 25-year-old Jon Demeter was indicted this week for slipping abortion pills to his pregnant girlfriend disguised as a “passion fruit liquid IV.” He is the first person charged under the state’s anti-abortion law in this manner. The case exposes the dystopia in practice: the woman had to seek emergency care from urgent care because OBGYNs in Texas are too terrified of prosecution to treat pregnancy losses.A new study in JAMA found that miscarriage patients in abortion-ban states receive worse care: 2.8% more likely to receive “expectant management” and 13.8% more likely to receive misoprostol alone instead of the more effective mifepristone and misoprostol combination. Nearly 3,700 women a year are getting substandard miscarriage treatment.A bipartisan bill to create a Smithsonian museum of American women’s history collapsed in the House after Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) added an amendment barring the museum from depicting “any biological male as female” and giving Trump personal authority over the museum’s location.Plus: Vanderbilt poll finds 1 in 4 Tennessee voters support charging abortion patients with homicide.
