Even though the ROS community is majority male, we cannot be blind to reproductive rights. While only a few of us may ever need reproductive health care, we are all impacted when rights are stripped away.
There is no direct connection between open source robotics and abortion, except for the fact that our community is built on people, and people need access to evidence-based reproductive health care and basic equality in medical decision making.
Sometimes you have to use the platform you have to get the change you want see in the world. It's more productive than screaming into the void.
This fundraiser was organized by one ROS developer, and is not affiliated with Open Robotics or any other company using or maintaining ROS.
