Competing abortion pill rulings sow broad alarm, confusion
Emma Hernandez is defiant even if she fears what may come in the latest stage of the nation’s fight over abortion: a widening prohibition to safe and legal ways to end unwanted pregnancies, including access to abortion pills.
Competing rulings by two federal judges over the availability of the abortion drug mifepristone are sowing alarm and confusion for Hernandez and countless other Americans who insist that availability must be guaranteed. Others celebrated one judge’s ruling that would restrict that access but acknowledge the battle is far from over.

Nina Tatlock for Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida Vice President
I am excited to announce my candidacy for Vice President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida. This is an organization that I feel strongly about and, if you are a voting member of DPCF, I would like to ask for your support and vote.
Here's my bio:
Nina Tatlock (she/her) began her journey as an organizational volunteer in the year 2000 as a Founding Board member and Vice President for Art IN Hand Gallery, an Artist Cooperative Gallery in Zionsville, Indiana, which she is happy to report is still in existence today. After moving to Florida, Nina was elected to the South Shore Arts Council in 2008, serving terms, off and on, multiple times, in positions of Secretary, Vice President, and Treasurer (currently). In 2010, she served as a Founding Board member of the Firehouse Cultural Center in Ruskin, FL and served on that Board for several years. Nina has also served off and on for her Homeowners Association in Apollo Beach as Secretary, Vice President, and President during the 2017-2018 two year term. Nina has a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University in Consumer and Family Sciences and an Associate of Science from Indiana University in Optometric Technology. She has spent a number of years working as a Fiber Artist, exhibiting and teaching fiber art techniques. Nina is a political activist, an elected Precinct Committee Woman in Hillsborough County, and serves on the Steering Committee of her DEC as Chair of the Platform Committee. Nina was one of the founding members of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Tampa Bay in 2017 serving in leadership early on and as President for a two year term, from March 2019 to March 2021. She currently holds a board member position, continues to do committee work, and as Co-Chair of the Outreach Committee of DPCTB is working to maintain and foster relationships in the community. Nina was a Florida PLEO Delegate for Bernie Sanders to the Democratic National Convention in 2020. She has been a member of DPCF since 2015, actively participating on the campaign committee since 2017, a contributing member of the Chapter Development Ad Hoc Committee, and was elected to the DPCF Board in 2021.
Nina was following politics and Bernie Sanders before he became a Presidential Candidate. As a curious individual she started doing personal research as to why Corporations usually seemed to win in Supreme Court cases and found that bad SCOTUS decisions went way back, but an especially egregious decision in 1886 was the one that allowed corporate personhood by legal fiction and that this was because of an insertion from a court reporter and not even by a Supreme Court Justice. Nina started following various progressive organizations such as Progressive Democrats of America and followed the push for Bernie to run for President. She volunteered to knock on Doors in 2010 to help get a Democrat elected as Governor of Florida and as Senator. This coincided with the rise of the tea party culminating in the election of Rick Scott and Marco Rubio. She decided that even though politics were bad in Indiana, where she came from, things were much worse in Florida. Nina's goals are to continue to push the Democratic party leftward; to work on reform within the party; to engage with community members; to engage voters; to engage with various progressive organizations; to continue to work on getting more candidates, who will abide by the Progressive Platform, elected locally, statewide, and nationally; and to continue to push for progressive legislation that will work for the people who are not corporations. Nina feels that we need to get business out of our governments, that we ultimately need a new Constitution that is not built on racism or property ownership/rights, and that will include the rights of nature. In the meantime, there is a lot of work that can be done through DPCF, our local Progressive Caucus Chapters and in our County DECs.
