ICYMI, shoutout to the bold organizers who made this win in Massachusetts possible. We’re done settling for legal abortion on its own in 2021. We need more.

This month, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the FDA approval of mifepristone.
Now is the time to demand lasting changes to improve access to abortion and ensure that no one endures policing or prosecution for ending their pregnancies.

Abortion.
Anytime.
Any reason.
The majority of people who have abortions are people of color. Listen to us.
Listen to those of use who’ve actually had abortions, not a woman who says it’s okay to racially profile her Black son.
Hi @tedcruz & @LilaGraceRose. I saw your latest op-ed on the court's decision to make medication abortions more accessible in a few states during the coronavirus pandemic.
I hope you won't mind if I offer a few edits and fact check the piece. 📝
BREAKING: @RepPressley has filed an amendment to remove the Hyde Amendment from the federal spending bill. THANK YOU for fighting for us and our families to get the healthcare we need, including abortion. #BeBoldEndHyde
There’s no reason whatsoever the Hyde amendment should still exist and deny abortion to those struggling financially — all the more so with a “pro-choice” Democratic majority in the House. #BeBoldEndHyde

Thread!
The Hyde Amendment — which blocks Medicaid funds for abortion — is racist, classist, and sexist, and deliberately so, in the words of the man it’s named after.

BREAKING: #SCOTUS decided against reproductive freedom today in 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘷. 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘴𝘺𝘭𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢. They ruled that virtually any employer can deny their employees health insurance coverage of birth control just because they have personal objections. #HandsOffMyBC
I see a lot of people sharing this thread and while I understand what it's trying to do, it's not quite accurate. Abortion bans in the US (and around the world) are racist. For people of color to have abortions is not racist. We deserve the right to freely decide our families.
The majority of people having abortions are already mothers. Educate yourself about self-managed abortion with pills here, and follow @reproaction for more on #MaternalMondays: https://t.co/5cEgfeBro9
Hi! I’m Dr. Jamila Perritt @reprorightsdoc and I’m taking over Dr. Grossman’s Twitter account today! I'll be tweeting about my work as an Ob/Gyn, and how reproductive justice, Black feminism, and decriminalization inform my medical practice. My tweets will be signed -JP
“We have a right to protest. We have a right to live without surveillance. We have a right to live in sustainable communities. And, we have a right to good health.”
COVID-19 makes the barriers faced by people seeking abortions even more difficult to overcome. @nwaafund Board Member @BethVial writes about why the work of abortion funds is crucial in this moment.

Consider donating to the Domestic Worker’s Alliance Coronavirus Fund at https://t.co/Yl8JxLN2Fe or pitching in other ways to support those who too often provide support in our economic system but are left behind in times of need.

For patients who need early abortions but can't leave their homes, telemedicine provision of medication abortion is a solution. As I told @vice, it really just doesn’t make sense to continue to restrict this safe practice that is well-liked by patients.
