Access to sexual and reproductive health, rights, & justice (#SRHRJ) is foundational to economic, mental & physical well-being. @IpasOrg joins 100+ orgs in calling on the Biden-Harris admin to implement policies that support sexual & reproductive autonomy. https://t.co/9BhV72xI8L

Today the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is holding a hearing about the FDA’s approval of mifepristone.

Banning mifepristone for abortion care is senseless, especially considering its conclusively established safety and efficacy.

Here’s what you need to know [ 🧵]

Our Policy and Advocacy manager, Jina Dhillon, explains to NC Newline that the NC bill runs counter to trends around the globe that generally favor an expansion of reproductive freedom. Listen here 🔽

Dr Brahmi to NC GA: "As a doctor who has worked in Africa, Europe, and Asia, I can tell you that abortion bans are only “mainstream” in countries where people die from them": https://t.co/26O4iALwtE @ncpolicy @juliefornc @GraigMeyer #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionBans

[Ipas @IpasOrg]

Once again, abortion is health care. No matter where you live. We'll fight for reproductive freedom in NC, and around the world.

[Anu Kumar @AnuKumarIpas]

The marriage of gerrymandering & extremist ideology has resulted in this bill. RIP democracy. A sad day for #NC #bansoffourbodies #abortionishealthcare https://t.co/AdXPMbTpXh

[Anu Kumar @AnuKumarIpas]

Phew for now. @SCOTUS ensures that mifepristone remains on the market, allowing appeals to move forward. But we shouldn’t even be riding this #reprorights roller coaster. Let’s stop playing politics w/ people’s bodies b/c @AbortionIsEssential

[Anu Kumar @AnuKumarIpas]

Phew

For 50 years @IpasOrg has made #MVA available to millions of people in over 100 countries, including the US, who need abortions, post-abortion care, miscarriage management, endometrial biopsy. It's still here. We're still here. @DKTWomanCare

So much for this being an issue for states to decide. They want a national ban. They want fetal personhood. They want Gilead. https://t.co/OeJ1l9Cy9c

[ACOG @acog]

#Mifepristone is an exceptionally safe, important medication. ACOG and leading medical societies urge the U.S Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to set aside the District Court opinion in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA. Read our amicus brief: https://t.co/mpr3zrraUb
