"'Restore Roe' is a call to continue banning abortion and to continue criminalizing pregnant people" - @VillaviMD in a new piece from @chronic_jordan and the @theintercept about Abortion Justice Now.

1/7 The Abortion Justice Now (AJN) brief is a powerful call to rethink federal abortion policy, pushing for an expansive right to #abortion free from restrictive limitations.
@AlannaVagianos Combine this with providers, current and future, joining with later abortion patients to lay out a federal policy position to ensure the most socially & economically marginalized folks are not left out 💪💪💪

"The government has no place in making decisions about a pregnant person’s health and body. We’re going to be as forceful as we can in making sure our movement is unified in saying that an expansive policy is the only thing we will accept.” ~Dr. Jenni V of @RavenLabRepro
In a media briefing today from Abortion Justice Now, Dr. Jenni Villavicencio said: "For as long as I can remember... we've watched advocates, both elected & unelected, specifically use us & our patients as bargaining chips in their requests for political wins."

Any limits on abortion care, including viability lines, are harmful to the patients we take care of every, single day. They hurt the most marginalized among us. These limits have no place in state constitutions OR federal law.
Um no shade to the folks in Arizona, but the ballot initiative states that a right to abortion *with* a viability limit is "consistent with most major medical organizations and align with standard medical practices".
...That's...not true. Go to https://t.co/9a4rC1tRB9 for more.
This is it right here! @GovPritzker has listened the folks on the ground. #AbortionProviders and patients.
#Roe failed us
We can and MUST do better
How? Why? Well…. read, sign, and hold folks accountable

Abortion is not a dirty word. And when we treat it like one, we harm women. It’s time for politicians to get out of women’s doctors’ offices, and focus on the things that will protect our communities.
