A narrow but important win in Indiana. Cracks in abortion bans start small, then they grow.

The combination mifepristone and misoprostol is a safe and effective medication regimen for ending a pregnancy. It’s a widely used, FDA-approved method that has been a standard of care for over two decades. 💊✨
Sex work 🤝 Reproductive Justice
For true reproductive freedom to exist, all sex workers must have equitable access to affordable health care, freedom from violence, and the right to make decision about their own body without fear or coercion. #SexWorkersRightsDay
"Midwifery includes the menopausal experience…I listen, gather precious information, hear their concerns, hopes and expectations, so that I can offer care that’s specifically designed for their journey." - Racha Tahani Lawler, a fourth-generation midwife

Many abortion seekers rely on abortion doulas or support companions to support their self-managed abortions, many of whom are connected through local doula collectives or mutual aid networks. reproaction.org/self-managed...
Oral contraceptives should be made free and over-the-counter to help eliminate both cost and structural barriers created by discrimination. Reducing barriers to contraceptives is shown to have measurable benefits.
Unsurprising that the lawyer behind Texas's abortion bans works closely with lifelong abusers, and unsurprising that men who have spent decades assaulting women think they should have the right to control our bodies and our lives.
But we'll fight them with everything we've got.

The Trump Administration's cruel policies aim to erase 1.6 million transgender Americans from public life. Republicans are stripping Title IX protections from students and denying gender-affirming care in federal facilities. We need to call it what it is: discrimination. @civilrightsorg.bsky.social
Dr. Oz thinks replacing OB-GYN's with robots is cool. We think it's a sign of policy failure.
"When this assistance relies on inconsistent large-scale private donations, as well as the almost-supernatural work of abortion providers and supporters, it’s no wonder that some people are slipping through the cracks, even while abortion numbers are rising."

Abortion clinics are continuing to close, even in key access hubs like New York and Illinois.
There are about a dozen fewer brick-and-mortar abortion clinics in the US than there were two years ago.
Patients in Minnesota are being forced to postpone their appointments for fear of being targeted by ICE. ICE's ongoing presence means Minnesotans are in danger of violent extremism and their health care needs going unmet, which can lead to severe consequences.
The surveillance tools that ICE is using to track people are an affront to data privacy and bodily autonomy.
As ICE continues to attack communities, educate yourself on these technological weapons below ⬇️
