ICYMI: The FDA approved a second, generic version of mifepristone last week.

This further proves that mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE!

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown

The approval of a generic for the medication mifepristone comes less than two weeks after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pledged that the agency would review the drug’s safety.

Even this anti-abortion administration can’t deny that mifepristone is safe and effective.

Equitable access, to the type of contraception that’s right for you, is a CORNERSTONE of reproductive freedom — and a necessary part of people & families being able to shape their own futures.

We are thrilled to announce that the Massachusetts Senate PASSED a strong data privacy protection bill this afternoon!

Even better — This bill includes core provisions of the Location Shield Act which prohibits the sale of sensitive location data from YOUR cellphone.

Reproductive justice is about creating conditions where people & families can make decisions about their bodies free from violence or fear.

This includes being able to raise our children in SAFE environments — free from gun violence.

Here's the thing:

When we come together to fight for reproductive equity — we're fighting for a future where EVERYONE can make health care decisions without political interference.

Regardless of your zip code, income, immigration status or background.

Policy decisions about health care should be guided by SCIENCE — Not ideology.

A common misconception about reproductive health care is that it primarily focuses on abortion — and while abortion care is critical, repro health care is about so much more.

That’s why it’s so important that we fight for our reproductive freedoms — especially amid this hostile federal landscape.

When we fight for repro justice, we fight for sexual justice — because every person deserves to feel safe and in control of the decisions they make about their bodies.

Today is World Sexual Health Day! Sexual & repro justice are DEEPLY interconnected. They both demand:

❤️ The right to make decisions about our bodies without fear or coercion.

💛 Access to the full spectrum of sexual and repro health care.

🧡 Freedom from systemic barriers to care and harm.

In reality, “fetal viability” is a political and ideological construct that was coined by a Supreme Court Justice, and many leading medical institutions are opposed to the term’s use.

Our laws should trust providers and patients — not politicians — to make informed health care decisions. [2/2]

The concept of "fetal viability" didn't come from doctors or science, yet it’s still being used to arbitrarily justify when the government can intervene in pregnancies across the country... [1/2]

Graphic that says "Did you know 'fetal viability' is a political term, not a scientific one."
