“People of color are disproportionately insured through public insurance or lack insurance altogether because of longstanding systemic racism and racialized systems of oppression. Hyde Amendment restrictions thus disproportionately limit choice and access for people of color.”

[Katie Brown, MD @DrKSBrown]

“Ending the Hyde amendment is a necessary — though still insufficient — step toward allowing people the human right to decide if and when they will continue a pregnancy.”

“Abortion should be covered for all. But the Hyde Amendment assures a gross level of inaccessibility to those who are least likely to afford it.”

[Dr. Daniel Grossman @DrDGrossman]

In case you missed the good news yesterday, a federal court issued an injunction suspending the outdated FDA restrictions on mifepristone, the first pill in a medication abortion, allowing patients to receive the pill via mail or delivery during the pandemic.

#SCOTUS just ruled that virtually any employer can claim a religious or moral exemption to deny birth control coverage. @DrKSBrown wrote about the impact this decision will have on her patients and her community in @truthout https://t.co/aeBBkYde2C #HandsOffMyBC

Black cishets disregard Black Queer folks, even as we create Black culture, as we sacrifice, as we fill the frontlines w/OUR BODIES.

“Your queerphobia, your transphobia... will only get us halfway to the finish line... You have to love #allofusornoneofus, or we will keep dying.”

There still have been no arrests made for the murder of #BreonnaTaylor. Call 844-298-2731 to demand #JusticeForBreonna. Continue to tag and call @GovAndyBeshear @LMPD @louisvillemayor. Breonna should be alive. The officers responsible for her death should be held accountable.

One of the most important ways that we can end the epidemic of violence against Black trans women and folks is by pushing a massive investment of funds and resources to efforts led by Black trans women and folks. #NeverKnewLove https://t.co/FrrQesz2Ys

The six week abortion ban passed by the TN legislature last week is expected to go into effect at any time now. CHOICES is fighting to stop the law from taking effect, but as of now, WE ARE OPEN and seeing patients! If we have to reschedule your appointment, we will call you.

"People have choices, but those choices are constrained by racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, classism and other forms of systemic oppression." @DrKSBrown writes about the potential impact of the SCOTUS birth control case in @truthout https://t.co/crukbqChj8

#BlackLivesMatter was founded with the intention of being inclusive of ALL Black lives. But there is power in #blackTRANSlivesmatter as naming a specific oppression. We ain’t free till we all free. Rest in power #DominiqueRemmieFells #RiahMilton #TonyMcDade #NinaPop
