Defending EMTALA rights is especially important as the Supreme Court considers emergency abortion care this session. Nobody should worry over whether they will be able to receive care for a life threatening pregnancy complication.

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

If you believe that you or someone you know has been unlawfully denied emergency abortion care in any state, please take advantage of @CMSGov's new EMTALA complaints report! You have a right to emergency medical care! https://t.co/VeX2d86TDV

This is so horrifyingly dystopian and a stark example of how data tracking can be used to invade patient privacy (with potentially catastrophic consequences)

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

Near Intelligence was accused of tracking user visits to 600 Planned Parenthood locations and handing over that data to an anti-abortion ad campaign

have we made this joke yet? presenting the fallen: speaker of the house.

May the odds be ever in your favor!

@hankgreen @IMAKglobal has done a ton of work showing how damaging excessive patenting is for patients, and has a great database of patent data for top drugs that’s publically available! Highly recommend their “Ovepatented” report for anyone looking for an explainer on drug patents

@SiliciaL how does it feel to never face the Duo Lingo Owl’s wrath??!

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

This is why local politics matters! Even in blue states where abortion rights are ��safe,” voting in the right local officials can result in creative policy to make repro rights even more accessible. (This is a “please vote” tweet, btw)

The Los Angeles City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday prohibiting pregnancy centers from misleading people about the reproductive health services they provide, including abortion and contraception. https://t.co/fQOgIv0HHl

Our Chairman @RepWaxman reminds us that real change requires continued commitment to progress. Passing meaningful climate legislation certainly hasn’t been easy but it is absolutely worth the perseverance — our planet depends on it 🌎 story- @rbravender https://t.co/c5YJFO0DyF

Birth control pills are one step closer to being available over the counter https://t.co/w14GTpCmcq

[POLITICO @politico]

The FDA is reviewing the first-ever application for daily over-the-counter birth control pills in the wake of Roe’s fall.

The application submission follows more than six years of studies the company has run with thousands of subjects. https://t.co/lrlC719MW2

@JSawyer330 @dcpl I use the sleep timer on the Libby audiobooks aallll the time for nighttime relaxed reading 📖

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

The DC library’s @dcpl Libby app is truly a game changer. I still can’t believe how easy it is for me to find and read ebooks, and it lets me sync up with library cards from my childhood library to search across collections!

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

@24hourlibrary @dcpl No I don’t but this is amazing to know! I’ll have to add to my collection!!

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

I am your biggest fan 🙇‍♀️

This is not spon con I just have really enjoyed rereading the Percy Jackson books straight on my phone

And of course, methodology available at first link and more in depth here: https://t.co/plD8Nh9WkT

This completely aligns with work I did with @IWPResearch and the Tara Health Foundation. 2020 abortion restrictions alone cost state economies $105 billion annually. GDP, workforce participation, and earnings growth are all positively impacted by eliminating restrictions (THREAD)

[Reuters Legal @ReutersLegal]

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a testimony to the Senate Banking Committee that eliminating women's access to abortion would have ‘very damaging effects’ on the U.S. economy https://t.co/GA7d6f4rWr

[Helen Robins @HelenRobins11]

TL:DR access to comprehensive reproductive care is central to equitable participation in the workforce, and restrictions fall hardest on women who already face systemic barriers for accessing economic opportunities. Repro restrictions impact EVERYONE. (fin)
