Yesterday, a federal court allowed the Trump administration's "defund" of Planned Parenthood to go into effect immediately. That means right now, patients are not able to use Medicaid to pay for care at Planned Parenthood health centers.

I’m delighted that my dear friend and outstanding scholar, @cehaupt.bsky.social will be joining Wendy Parmet to lead Northeastern’s Healtn Law Center. 👏🎉👏
I am exceedingly fortunate to have such leaders in the field as my faculty colleagues. law.northeastern.edu/haupt-named-...

Thank you, @agwilliamtong.bsky.social, for fighting for Planned Parenthood patients against this unjust action by the Trump administration. We're grateful to work alongside our state elected leaders to fight back for your health care and your rights. www.registercitizen.com/connecticut/...

The Court relies on manufactured scientific uncertainty to justify allowing state governments to flatly prohibit health care that is widely supported by mainstream consensus. The patient, their parents, and their doctors all agree to follow mainstream medical guidelines, but the state won’t let them

Sotomayor gets it right in dissent. Geduldig is constitutional trash and should not be good law in 2025. 😠

Important piece by @professormutch.bsky.social

The threat to reproductive health care is existential. PPSNE is a social safety net health care provider in our state and I hope our legislators and government leaders are prepared to step up and fulfill their duty to protect public health by safeguarding PP.

This is a politically motivated attack that uses health care access as a pawn in a broader effort to erase reproductive rights.”
Outstanding and crictically important op-Ed co-authored by our PPSNE CEO, Amanda Skinner. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/23/m...

Today’s news about the bombing in Palm Springs is devastating. Violence against reproductive health providers is too familiar. reproductiverights.org/statement-on...

A terrible ruling on FDA's authority over laboratory developed tests leaves patients exposed to unnecessary risks of over- and under- treatment.

With @rachelsachs.bsky.social @pzettler.bsky.social, we explain the issue, the decision, and potential consequences.

Once again - the excitement we've felt in lower courts preventing parts of the Trump agenda to go forward needs to be tempered because the Supreme Court is the apex court.

And this is the Supreme Court reminding us who it is.

Hi! I’m a part of a team at Pitt that got a large grant and is looking to hire a comms person with a specific background in repro. If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please let me know!

Pregnant people living in states with abortion bans are almost twice as likely to die during pregnancy or soon after giving birth, a report released Wednesday found.

Why a reproductive justice lens explains everything.

And thank you re: the picture :-)

I was thinking how they would "opt out" or "provide notice" to parents -- like here's the calendar...WARNING, week 1 - Bobby's mom is a single working parent who lives with her boyfriend; week 2 - Michaela has two dads; week 3 - Suzie has a mom and dad and a transgender sister...etc. etc.

Agreed @carolinemalacorbin.bsky.social As the argument went on it seems clear that most of them would say that if the kids were "just talking to each other" it would be one outcome, but if it was during facilitated "circle time" it would be another.

Money keeps being mentioned for poor parents who can’t afford private schools/homeschooling….

Harris v. McRae: “financial constraints that restrict an indigent woman's ability to enjoy the full range of constitutionally protected freedom of choice are the product not of governmental restrictions”

‼️This just in: Conservative Justices care about affordability of education (and rights) unlike their stance on:
➡️ abortion (when it was a right)
➡️ civil legal counsel
➡️ voting
etc. etc. etc.

SCOTUS in June: if a teacher reads the majority opinion in Obergefell to their class religious families have a right to opt out of the lesson.

The conservative justices inclination to lump anything to do with gender and marriage with sex ed - even picture books for 4-year-olds is jarring.

The regressive view of all queer people as sexual deviants is oozing from these arguments.
