The Supreme Court justices that overturned Roe v. Wade have taken on two new cases that could further limit abortion access and override the expertise of scientists and health care providers.

I see a lot of people (rightfully) decrying how horrifying it is for someone to have to ask a judge for permission to have an abortion. I’d like to remind you all that teens in many states have been forced to do that for many years now.

[Anna Bernstein @anna_berns]

In my latest for @TCFdotorg, I wrote about the myth of a "moderate" abortion ban and the risk of compromising on limits to abortion care. Every ban is an attack on bodily autonomy—and has the greatest impact on the people facing the most barriers to care: https://t.co/9Dj3XxQfVm

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

As states continue to ban and restrict abortions, debates among politicians often revolve around asking “How far is too far?”

In a new commentary, TCF’s @Anna_Berns makes clear a fundamental truth: There Is No Such Thing as a Moderate Abortion Ban. /1

ICYMI: Anti-abortion politicians are targeting Texas abortion funds and PRH's Board Chair Elect @dr_moayedi. Why? Because they're fighting to protect the privacy of the patients they care for and the donors who believe in showing up for people who need abortions.

The medication abortion drug mifepristone was approved by the FDA 23 years ago today. Despite its overwhelming safety and efficacy, baseless legal attacks against it continue. @Anna_Berns sets the record straight. ↓ #AbortionIsHealthcare

If I could use my short time here on Repro earth to make one small piece of change, it would be to forever send that dreaded "1% of abortions happen after 21 weeks" stat to the ash heap of history. Here's why:

⚠️MAJOR UPDATE: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit just ruled on the challenge to the abortion pill. This order is not in effect. Our attorneys are looking into what this decision means for the future of #MedicationAbortion access. Stay tuned.

[Free the Pill @freethepill]

‼️ Breaking news‼️ We just made history: in a GROUNDBREAKING advancement for #repro health, the @US_FDA just approved Opill, the FIRST-EVER over-the-counter birth control pill. #FreeThePill

Community-based organizations play a critical role in reducing health inequities—but complex federal grant applications too often prevent these orgs from accessing funds. Here's what the government needs to do to make federal funding more accessible. 🧵 https://t.co/E9niRzN6vT

“Someone you know, someone in your family, or someone you love currently relies on or will need an abortion, contraception, gender-affirming care, or other essential healthcare." - @NikemaWilliams

Getting abortions, contraception, or accessing pregnancy and gender affirming care should *never* make you a target for the criminal system.

Roe was always the floor—not the ceiling—for abortion access. One year out of the Dobbs decision, I'm inspired by the leadership of @AllAboveAll and @RepPressley in envisioning a future of abortion justice for all. My latest for @TCFdotorg:

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

Tomorrow marks one year without the protections of Roe v. Wade—but even under Roe, abortion access was out of reach for too many. @RepPressley's #AbortionJustice Act would make abortion care available without barriers for all.

“We know that the harm of this crisis falls hardest on people working to make ends meet who are more likely to be people of color,” @theFword527 on why we need the #AbortionJustice Act. TY @RepPressley for blazing the trail in Congress with this new bill: https://t.co/tPUOCdqKt9

Our new report out today rings the alarm: Congress has 100 days to prevent as many as 3.2 million children from losing their childcare.🚨#SolveChildCare https://t.co/Mmue2YHWJX

[The Century Foundation @TCFdotorg]

Last week, the Fifth Circuit heard arguments in the case attempting to undo the FDA’s approval of the medication abortion drug mifepristone. Judges and anti-abortion plaintiffs amplified dangerous misinformation. @Anna_Berns's new commentary fact-checks: https://t.co/SobopeHQ7U

[@prh.org @prhdocs]

We’re listening to Fifth Circuit hearing on mifepristone and hating every minute of this misinfo parade, so just thought we’d remind everyone of the time PRH Hottie @dr_moayedi called that anti-abortion OB/GYN out on spreading medical misinformation. 💅🏼 https://t.co/aalCeI52Mu

To address the staffing crisis & make healthcare workplaces more equitable, we have to hold predatory training programs accountable. Read more from @stephmhall & @anna_berns: https://t.co/klLCessKUM @AFTHealthCare #NationalNursesWeek #CodeRed

Half of mothers in the US report having no retirement savings at all, compared to 32% of fathers. Policy solutions like investing in child care, passing #PaidLeave, and raising the minimum wage can correct this. Our new report breaks it down.

Two things remain true tonight: 1) mifepristone is still available as safe and effective medication abortion care and 2) judges shouldn't be making decisions about reproductive freedom.
