Wrigley’s right – the decision to have an abortion should always be up to the pregnant person and nobody else 👏 @tellmelieshulu #tellmelies

The 53rd anniversary of Roe serves as a reminder that even at its strongest, Roe left too many people behind. Every person should have access to reproductive health care without government interference. Let today be a reminder to fight for more.

Your abortion is your business.

Not a religious leader’s.
Not a politician’s.
Not a stranger’s.

Yours.

STUDY: By taking away the option to end a pregnancy, abortion bans force pregnant people to take on the substantially increased health risks associated with continued pregnancy.

In MN, prenatal care is being skipped, & requests for home births are rising b/c of ICE making hospitals feel unsafe, especially for immigrants. The Trump administration’s actions show that attacks on immigrants create a repro rights & health care crisis, too.

In his first year back in office, President Trump wasted no time in undermining reproductive health and rights worldwide.

Reproductive justice means that every person can decide if and when they want to start a family.

Like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, NIRH believes that family planning is essential for ensuring freedom for all people – regardless of their race, class, gender, or sexuality. #MLKday

@staceyabrams.com is right. There is NOT a middle position when it comes to the humanity of birthing people, and that includes reproductive freedom.

The faulty lung float test has been used to put dozens of pregnant people in prison, including a woman being sentenced to 30 years. This position from the National Association of Medical Examiners is a critical step in the fight against pregnancy criminalization.

So while you can now get a handgun in the mail anywhere in the country regardless of your state’s gun laws, if you live in a state that bans abortion, you cannot get abortion pills through the mail.
You can mail guns in Trump’s America—just not abortion pills

Axios notes that prosecutors are increasingly charging low-income women with crimes *because *they *are *pregnant in an effort to make Fetal Personhood ideology a reality -- erasing the legal personhood of anyone who's pregnant and stripping them of equality & rights.

Pregnancy prosecutions are on the rise. Here's why
The cases further complicate the post-Roe landscape and bring scrutiny to pregnant women accused of substance use.

100 independent clinics have closed their doors since Dobbs, cutting off communities & sometimes entire regions of the US from care (like later abortion) they can’t get anywhere else. It's “a misconception” that “after bans take effect, these clinics aren’t still active in their communities":

Last month, Trump signed an executive order aimed at blocking states from enforcing their own AI regulations.

States must continue pushing back and pass legislation that combats online misinformation, police surveillance, and anti-abortion bias that is spread through AI.

Medication abortion has been deemed safe and effective for 25+ years! It helps nearly 15,000 patients EVERY MONTH in states without bans on abortion care.

Medication abortion is safe and it keeps health care accessible. Period.

Law enforcement violence is a reproductive justice issue.

ICYMI: The Trump administration put a near-total ban on abortion care and counseling in place at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities nationwide. This means millions of veterans, who put their lives on the line for their country, cannot access abortion care via their VA benefits.

Yesterday, with bipartisan support, the House passed legislation that, if also passed by the Senate and signed into law, would revive the Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies for three years.

Thank you to Dr. Fran for explaining why the Senate must pass an extension of the ACA tax credits.
