"Until we grapple with the fact that these unheard stories of abortions that never happened are also tragedies, we will continue fighting for scraps rather than the full autonomy we deserve."
@SusanRinkunas on the (cursed) 1-year anniversary of Dobbs: https://t.co/kbDQ3OX6Gg
When abortion is banned in the South or Midwest or Appalachia people genes to shrug their shoulders, thinking folks can just fly or drive to the closest state where abortion is legal. But sometimes they can’t. Sometimes people are forced to stay pregnant.
A new report from the Care Post Roe Study paints a bleak picture of OB-GYN care since the fall of Roe. Providers have seen:
⬆️Increased morbidity
⬆️Increased delays in care
❌An inability to give time-sensitive care
❌Worsened pregnancy complications

In a landmark achievement for reproductive justice, a joint FDA advisory committee voted today to UNANIMOUSLY support a progestin-only birth control pill to be offered over-the-counter (OTC)!
Grateful to join fellow witnesses today for a Senate Judiciary hearing on the "Assault On Reproductive Rights In A Post-Dobbs America." Thank you, @SenatorDurbin
Ok, so I'm being given 2-3minutes to address the class of 2023 School of Nursing...!!
so much to say, so little time.
What's one thing I CANNOT leave out #nursetwitter?
so far my list includes (in no particular order): racism, nursing role in propagating inequities, responsibility to respect bodily autonomy, not serving as weapon of the state, work in environmental justice, nursing as political act...
I completely agree with being careful not to stigmatize misoprostol-only abortion because it's still very safe overall.
But we have GOT to be honest with people about the *significant* reduction in effectiveness. People deserve to have all the info to make their own decisions.
