Let's keep this energy going.

This is Texas AG Ken Paxton saying he’ll throw a woman’s doctors in prison for life if they perform a *court-granted* abortion on a *nonviable* pregnancy that risks causing her permanent infertility and death.
Still think the GOP is pro-life?

44M+ women of repro age live in states where abortion is banned or severely restricted & 19M+ live in contraceptive deserts. The gaps are significant & yet only 21% of women of repro age who seek care at FQHCs receive any contraceptive counseling or services. 😤

This #LatinxHeritageMonth, we honor the history and legacy of Latina/x resistance for abortion rights. The Marea Verde or Green Wave is a global movement for abortion rights started by feminists in Latin America.
Proud of Philadelphia today! Thank you @HelenGymAtLarge@KendraPHL@JamieGauthier1 for introducing this critical legislative package! And look at this boss @afrarey go!!! 👏🏻

— @afrarey, OBGYN and abortion provider
Standing up for abortion rights and reproductive justice has never been more important. That's why I'm proud to introduce the Reproductive Freedom Platform for Philadelphia with @HelenGymAtLarge and @CouncilmemberJG today. Here's what our legislation will do ⬇️
👉 pregnant pt in a state that bans abortion tells provider that they intend to seek an abortion in a state where abortion is legal, provider CANNOT report the statement to law enforcement
