Arizonans overwhelmingly voted to enshrine the right to abortion in the AZ constitution. Healthcare providers filed a lawsuit to challenge the 15-week ban as unconstitutional. We can now provide abortion beyond 15 weeks!

The stigma of abortion assumes women and pregnant people are victims of abortion rather than strong, determined individuals who refuse to be told if or when to parent. Ending stigma starts with compassion and understanding ✨♥️.

2X MATCH TODAY for #GivingTuesday‼️

Despite the ever-changing abortion landscape, we have continued providing hands-on abortion training through our Next Generation Abortion Providers Program. A 4-week rotation is $1,000. You help us support trainees year-round.

[Desert Star FP @DesertStarFP]

We are thankful that we remain open and able to serve our communities with just, dignified, and exceptional healthcare. We are closed today. Clinical services resume next week.

Have a wonderful #Thanksgiving! Please consider us for your #GivingTuesday donation.

Arizona has constitutionally protected abortion rights. This is a crucial step to celebrate, but the work to overturn the 15-week ban and other harmful restrictions continues. Let's continue to work toward reproductive freedom. Learn more at https://t.co/XhT8B366HN.

This #GivingTuesday we aim to raise $25,000 to replenish our PAP (Patient Assistance Program) Fund, providing assistance to patients needing abortion or transgender care and cannot afford it due to lack of a means to pay. Can we count on your support? https://t.co/jLiujPB2g7

Love the love we are receiving today! Patient said, "I'm not trying to make you all fat," while pulling these Ghirardelli bags out of their bag 😋. Another patient brought us truffles to start the afternoon clinic. 🫶🏾

I’m so grateful to these three for sharing their stories and fears and struggles with me, all in an effort to stand up for everyone else.

Hey Arizonans! Today - Oct 29th, is the last day to mail your ballot. Change is only possible when we show up. Don’t let your vote go encounter.

It was so sweet (pun intended) of one of our patients to bring us donuts this morning 🥰. She understood the assignment. We are Bosa snobs here 😋.

@cat4d1 @drdeshawn_md Thanks for your support. Who media outlets interview depend on the story they want to tell. @stephanieinnes at the Arizona Republic has done a great job covering our clinic over the years, but yes, we sometimes don't fit the narrative.

@40wattbulb @drdeshawn_md Thank you for your support!

Today is the final day of National Voter Education Week. We have realized that many people do not vote because they think you have to fill out the entire ballot to cast your vote. Your ballot does not have to be completely filled out to turn it in.

[Desert Star FP @DesertStarFP]

We know that our patients need us to be more than clinical providers. We provide care that is highly stigmatized and politicized. We show up in excellence to serve populations that historically face barriers to care and experience trauma at the hands of our health care system.

[Desert Star FP @DesertStarFP]

Wouldn't it be cool if you received one of our handwritten GOTV postcards in the mail? We are counting on you! We dedicated a bit of our time at the clinic and in the community to write love nudges to you. Let's be the change we need.
