“Understanding third-trimester abortions is the key to understanding all abortion care.” — @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social #ReproJustice @kpfa.org
This week’s #podcast features @amylittlefield.bsky.social discussing her new article for The Nation, “What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?” alongside Garin Marschall, co-founder of @patientforward.bsky.social, who highlights the importance of protecting access to later-abortion care.
When @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social decided to become a doctor, she wanted to offer the technical part of care in addition to the emotional care and the educational care. She views healthcare as a way to empower people. #ReproJustice @reprosfightback.bsky.social

Whatever the stage of pregnancy, imposing any limits on abortion access means that we are not truly providing the room to choose. #ReproJustice @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social

“It’s important that abortion be provided throughout pregnancy without the intervention of the government, which doesn’t know people’s lives as well as the patients themselves.” — @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social #ReproJustice
Studies find that people denied abortions face increased rates of poverty, physical complications, and long-term health issues. But @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social’s patients didn’t need a study to tell them that. They lived it. #ReproHealth @time.com buff.ly/XRF8mYw
@doctorshelleysella.bsky.social and her mentor, Dr. George Tiller, had the same outlook: The pregnant person is smarter than the doctor. It’s a midwifery model that pays attention to the patient’s physical and emotional care. #ReproHealth
!!!!!!
Oh thank you!! 🫶🧡🙏
Abortion is far safer than continuing a pregnancy in many cases due to the high maternal mortality rate in the US. This is why support systems are crucial for patients undergoing this procedure. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social will tell you. #ReproHealth
Before Roe was overturned, pregnant patients in the 3rd trimester were already living in a post-Roe world. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social points out that they had all the restrictions more and more people are facing now. #ReproJustice @thecut.com

"When these stories are truly heard, judgment fades. Understanding and compassion take their place." 🧡

🧡 New essay today in TIME! 🧡
“We are told to be ‘reasonable‘ about abortion and accept limits—15 weeks, 20 weeks, 24. But the truth is, they do not reflect the unpredictable realities of pregnancy, or the complexity of human lives."

@doctorshelleysella.bsky.social's book is probably one of the best things I've read in the past decade.
Oh my goodness- thank you!! 🧡
3rd-trimester abortion care is often stigmatized and misunderstood. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social wrote BEYOND LIMITS so that people understand the circumstances that lead individuals to seek such care. #AbortionIsHealthcare @genepoolmedia.bsky.social
