First data from Texas, now across the US. While we (clinicians, advocates, families) already know abortion is a key component of full spectrum sexual and reproductive healthcare (including perinatal care!), now we have the data. Abortion should be free legal and on demand.
Hot take from #SFP2024: we have always been doing #SMA (self managed abortions). Even when mifepristone is dispensed in person - people take misoprostol and go through the majority of the process on their own! @SocietFP
The horror of the US criminal punishment system isnโt only that it wrongfully imprisons and kills innocent people. It is that it imprisons and kills regardless of guilt or innocence. It is designed to uphold power, not morality.
A new report out today from @PregnancyJust finds that, in the first year after Dobbs, 210 pregnant people faced criminal charges related to pregnancy, birth, or pregnancy loss.
This is the largest single-year number ever, and almost certainly still an undercount.
The election results are in! @SCNosalMD is the new #AAFP president-elect. ๐ She has practiced medicine for nearly 2 decades in South Bronx, NY and is chief medical information officer at @forFamilyHealth. https://t.co/0jgHSPdVSc

URGENT: In his proposed budget, Gov. Shapiro cut funding for PA Family Residency Expansion project. The PAFP relies on those $$$ to help fund residency slots in Family Med & support community health outreach work. Please contact your legislators TODAY. https://t.co/DMHmbBdHOo
