@Katie_Keith @Health_Affairs Thanks to you Katie for the collaboration!

People in the US are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than any other high-income country.
Right now, we have the opportunity to address the maternal health crisis head on - by passing the #Momnibus Act.

@monicarsimpson @theestallion @TraceeEllisRoss @lizzo This touched my soul! One time for the Aunties.

Climate justice is gender justice.

“If we want to talk about Planned Parenthood, let’s talk about how many lives PP has saved & how many babies have been born because of the prenatal care provide by PP. If you don’t believe it & you’ve never met a PP baby, I am happy to let you know that I am one.” - @AOC 💖🙏🏽

Thanks @RewireNewsGroup for uplifting our research and more importantly this issue.

[Rewire News Group @RewireNewsGroup]

The Affordable Care Act requires insurance plans cover maternity care—like ultrasounds, midwifery care, and prenatal visits.

But the Women’s Initiative at @amprog found that what counts as maternity care varies by state, leading to *significant* disparities.

Happy Earth Day!

[CAPWomen @CAPWomen]

Climate change poses serious health risks to pregnant, postpartum people & their infants. Our nation's maternal health crisis makes this threat even worse.

This #EarthDay, policymakers must act now to protect pregnant people & new parents.

Here's how: https://t.co/xxFIIlUwkP

Check out our new brief outlining a concrete roadmap to improve access and coverage to maternal health care services. @osubahmed

[CAPWomen @CAPWomen]

This week marks 11 years since the #AffordableCareAct was passed.

While the ACA has helped improve the quality of coverage for pregnant people, we must build on it to address the maternal health crisis.

The cost of inaction is too high to bear.

Some might call this a subtweet — but I promise I donut have any idea what they mean.

[Jamille @JamilleAFields]

It's past time to advance a proactive vision for abortion. Excited today to see the reintroduction of the EACH Act. Bold policy that treats abortion as the health care service it is.

"The legal right to abortion is meaningless if people are unable to afford and access care...the EACH Act is one important piece of this work to ensure meaningful abortion access for all."- @JamilleAFields

[Jamille @JamilleAFields]

I am pleased to share CAP's wide-ranging report that outlines a proactive vision for abortion access. Among other things, the report highlights the advocacy and policies advanced by national and state organizations leading on the issue.
