Many medications have multiple purposes and no one should be denied the right to access birth control pills for any reason just because some religions might disapprove of the use of contraception.
DNA test results also revealed that the birth control pill is:
✔️ Not just for pregnancy prevention—it can help manage conditions like acne and menstrual cramps, too
✔️ Safe enough for over-the-counter use
✔️ Ready to be more accessible to more people
#FreeThePill
Together, we’re building a better future for sexual and reproductive rights, one that includes:
✔️Ending the Title X gag rule
✔️Expanding Medicaid
✔️Increasing affordable health coverage
✔️An end to “defunding” Planned Parenthood health centers
✔️NO coverage bans on abortion
Thank you @HandmaidsOnHulu for bringing light to the serious problem that is crisis pregnancy centers. These centers shame and intimidate women seeking abortions and quite frankly should be illegal as they disseminate harmfully incorrect information. #SRH785#ReproductiveJustice
All people deserve to have a complete understanding of their own sexual and reproductive health. It is time to make a change to our sexual education in this country and in many others around the world. #SRH785
✨ It’s #SexEdForAll Month! ✨
All young people have a right to education, info & skills to make healthy decisions about their lives. That’s why we’re joining advocates across the US to call for equitable access to the high-quality, evidence-based sex ed that youth deserve!
Keeping abortion legal is not enough. The same people who are most harmed by abortion restrictions—working-class people of color—are bearing the brunt of this pandemic and systemic racism every day. It’s time to end Hyde and expand abortion access. #BelieveInMore
It's hard to find child care. If you can find it, you might not be able to afford it. If you can find it and afford it, there might be a waiting list 8 miles long. As a country, we need to invest in universal child care so we can build a future for every family.
Reproductive Justice is about so much more than just abortion, it is about providing all people with the right to choose when and how they want to be a parent. This would expand that choice for many people. #SRH785
@DastineSasha I find it incredibly difficult to do honestly. I try, but I often feel like I slip back into the gender binary very easily. This is definitely something I want to and have to keep working on.
It should be affordable and accessible to ALL. Right now it is affordable and accessible to some, but not all resulting in inequity. #SRH785#ReproductiveJustice
#MaternalJustice means listening to and taking care of all people throughout their reproductive lives -- from birth control access, pre-natal, child birth, and postpartum care, and of course ensuring abortion is available and affordable.
This is an absolute must read. The racial inequities in maternal health outcomes have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
Doula care can be part of the solution. This is why MA must pass the doula bill @RepLizMiranda, @SabadosaMA, @SenJoanLovely

☝☝☝ This is us! We're working toward a future where birth control pills are available over the counter—no prescription requirement, no age restriction, and no prohibitive costs. #FreeThePill
I love this image. This post is to honor that women who took a symbol of extreme conservatives and turn it into a statement of reproductive justice. #SRH785
We're thrilled about this @Blavity op-ed from #FreeThePill Youth Council member @electedangel! Read about the many barriers to SRH care that Black women face—and how an OTC birth control pill will bring us one step closer to true liberation for all—here: https://t.co/OvsWHUAxTt
We are not all perfect and we need to admit that. You may think that picture of your “perfect” family is innocent, but it can make a depressed mom question her own abilities as a mom. #NormalizeImperfection#SRH785
Let’s normalize being imperfect on social media. Mother’s with postpartum depression open Facebook and all they see are pictures of your perfect and happy family. Instead lets show them the gallon of milk your kid spilled or the paint they smeared on the wall.
