Today is #ThxBirthControl Day! 🩷Birth control lets Texans plan their futures and protect their health. Everyone should have access to the full range of options — because access matters. We’ll keep advocating for strong programs like #HTW and #FPP that make this possible. 💪

📊 Black women in Texas face nearly 2× higher rates of severe maternal morbidity than White women. These disparities are unacceptable — every mom deserves quality, respectful care, regardless of race or ZIP code. Together, we can make every pregnancy safer. 💛 #MaternalHealth
