Abortion rights are not only crucial to our physical health, but also key to our mental well-being. No one should have to live in fear and worry over not having control over their own bodies.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let's advocate for the right to abortion care.

Learning about pregnancy in sex education should be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and include different experiences like IVF and surrogacy.

Here’s what that can look like for elementary, middle, and high school.

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we celebrate the role that birth control plays around the world in giving people control over their bodies and futures. We need policymakers to take action to make birth control methods more accessible and affordable for all in the US and around the world. 💙

Today, the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in a pre-trial appeal about the meritless False Claims Act case. This lawsuit is part of the effort to shut down Planned Parenthood and deny patients care. The fight continues.

A federal court allowed the “defund” provision targeting Planned Parenthood health centers to take effect. What does this mean? Patients cannot use Medicaid to pay for their care at Planned Parenthood health centers.

The Trump administration just effectively banned abortion care for veterans — in all cases except life endangerment. They have continued attacking access to reproductive care for service members, veterans, and their families.

Everyone should have the freedom to get the abortion care they need.

Update: WE WON! A federal judge has fully blocked the “defunding” provision targeting care at Planned Parenthood health centers. This means that while this case continues, so does your access to care.

From cancer screenings to birth control, abortion, gender-affirming care, or when and where you get care – your health care decisions should be yours.

Not the government’s. Not lawmakers’. Just you and your health care providers.

We’ve faced attacks like this before. While the Trump Administration and Congress try to shut down Planned Parenthood, care continues. We’ll do everything we can to show up for patients and the communities Planned Parenthood health centers serve — no matter what.

The Senate just voted to take away your health care and “defund” Planned Parenthood. It's a political attack that could shut down nearly 200 health centers and strip abortion access for everyone, everywhere.

Make no mistake, Planned Parenthood will never stop fighting to protect access to care.

Make no mistake: When anti-abortion rights lawmakers target Planned Parenthood, they are trying to pass a backdoor abortion ban. But both Planned Parenthood and abortion rights are more popular than any political party or elected official.
