South Carolina Republicans are holding a hearing on October 1 on a bill that would treat abortion care as homicide. Providers could be charged with a felony and face up to 30 years in prison for providing reproductive care, and they could lose their license.

Celebrating 25 years of Mifepristone! 🎉

It has been 25 years since this lifesaving pill was approved by the FDA.

This pill has continued to be proven safe yet continues to be attacked but the current administration.

Despite this, Mifepristone’s reach continues to widen.

Abortion is SAFE! No one should be forced to travel out of state or have to resort to unsafe methods to have an abortion.

Abortion is a BASIC human right. No one should be barred or restricted from having an abortion.

Equal access to safe abortions must be protected.

Mifepristone took longer to get approved than most drugs—but not because it was unsafe.

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. announced that the FDA will issue a physician’s notice about the risk of acetaminophen use during pregnancy and begin the process of initiating a safety label change. The drug is one of the few pregnant people can safely use to relieve pain or fever.

Linking Tylenol to autism could harm pregnant people’s health, doctors warn

Acetaminophen is one of the few drugs that pregnant people can safely use to relieve pain or fever — conditions that, if left untreated, can increase the risk of birth defects and premature delivery.
