@Tiffany_L_Green Some of the analysis out of CA found this I believe. Here’s an article that cites a number of relevant articles https://t.co/Prk5oTNoUa

[A Better Balance @ABetterBalance]

Paid family leave access has grown, but disparities have grown too. There’s no denying we need #PaidLeave public policies to reach everyone. New analysis from @NewAmerica @BetterLifeLab:  https://t.co/RkfZ8TtMRp

This!! I’ve been on this soap box since my early @cityblockhealth days, and this piece expertly articulates why research/evaluation should be a part of building AND scaling health care orgs!

[Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA @sacjai]

In my latest @forbeshealth blog, I share why every healthcare organization should employ (or partner with) health services researchers.

“Sadly, the fiction that the US -all of the US-values and supports families has been laid bare…To the extent the United States has become more family friendly since Dobbs, the passage of new laws has largely been concentrated in states that protect the right to abortion.”

[Vicki Shabo @VShabo]

My latest in @GlobeOpinion: Since Dobbs, "[t]he passage of new laws has largely been concentrated in states that protect the right to abortion....This fragmentation in policy will also lead to fragmentation in outcomes."

@Lizstuartdc so so stressful!!

@ClintSmithIII The most stressful way to start a Sunday

@Cobylefko Beautiful trees, but aren’t these the super low density town homes that are feet from the A/C and across the st from the 2/3? Great tres, bad TOD

[Better Life Lab @BetterLifeLab]

1/ Indiana's #abortion ban takes effect today. #IN also does not guarantee #PaidLeave & restricts localities from doing so. The latest in the divide between states that support freedom, family & autonomy and states like IN that don't.

Reupping this:

@gabegabeyeah @Joe_Bruch And there’s an argument that spending more on healthcare, including case managers/social workers, means state $$ aren’t spent on other social services like housing…

And some states go even further and #preempt cities from enacting their own policies

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

In the year since I first posted this, not much has changed. None of the states that banned abortion have #PaidLeave.

They took away your right to decide if and when you'll have children and did nothing to protect your job or paycheck while you're pregnant or caring for a child.

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

@ChuckGartland1 @DrexelUHC Thanks for your suggestion! PA has a number of abortion restrictions that pushes it into the hostile category, and also doesn’t have paid family leave, so we’ve categorized it as light purple

[New America @NewAmerica]

A Year After Dobbs: Banning abortion has extensive ramifications, from exacerbated health inequities to increased pressure on safety nets.

@JuliaCraven, Jackie Jahn, @Alinasmahl, & @VShabo discuss the importance of paid family leave & abortion access.

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

Based on research in @AmJPrevMed w/ @jlpomeranz
@OlearyGabby @nina_y_sun and Irene Headen. We find that in 17 of the 25 states that restrict abortion, states go further and #preempt, or prohibit, cities from having paid family leave policies. https://t.co/jPA9o43Idi

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

Since #Dobbs, states with abortion bans far outpace those offering paid family leave | Opinion --
@jaquelynjahn⁩ and I argue that “state governments are sending a clear message: you don’t control your bodies, your health, or your career. We do.” https://t.co/LlqIDre4Va 1/3

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

Half of US states now restrict abortion, and none of those states provide paid family leave. These policies create an impossible situation for so many birthing people: forcing them to give birth and then immediately return to work or go without pay 2/3

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

@usama_bilal in his #SER2023 early career award speech “the idea that epidemiology is purely apolitical is naive”

[Alina Schnake-Mahl @Alinasmahl]

Okay Minnesota, passing paid sick and family leave!!! (And so much more!!)

[Will Stancil @whstancil]

I was told not to tweet this until the houses adjourned for fear of jinxing it, but the Minnesota legislature just completed what is probably the most productive session anywhere in the country since probably the New Deal. Sweeping bills and reforms across every area of life.

We’re thrilled to join this collaborative team w/ @stonybrooku @TempleCPH @DrexelUHC funded by @CDCgov to advance policy as a #PublicHealth intervention to reduce morbidity, mortality and disparities in HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STDs, and TB. https://t.co/EWKJYm5RJ0
