Another great talk at the opening session #croi2023. The slide show of Black, female activism shown during @RaphaelYvette’s stirring talk is powerful. “It is never about women: it is for the foetus, for the men, for the population. Why can’t it be for us?”

In the 1970s, activist doctors wanted to care for people with addiction humanely and equitably. The DEA stopped them and called them dealers. Excited to share my latest essay in @GuernicaMag. https://t.co/Cp4QjW00BT
Abortion is not just health care, it is a human right. Beyond infringing on bodily autonomy, there are conditions in pregnancy that result in death without safe abortion care. This is a calling for all in medicine to stand on the side of justice https://t.co/8FdGtvwI2L
And there are docs who will open their mouths to say ‘but medicine must be apolitical’.
If you don’t speak up now as we watch people stripped of basic rights, you are choosing violence for your patients. It’s truly that simple
Sending love and care to my fellow abortion providers, people seeking abortion care, and all those who support our communities today and every day. 🖤🖤🖤
“For poor and working-class women, a disproportionate number of whom are Black and brown, overturning Roe won’t mean that abortions will end. It will mean that safe and sound abortions in health-care facilities will move further out of reach.” https://t.co/A8tMbHRd6K
As a woman, I am enraged by the continued assault on our right to control our bodies + our futures.
As an American, I am appalled by the SCOTUS breach & its implications.
As the next Governor of Georgia, I will defend the right to an abortion and fight for reproductive justice.
"ACOG is aware of the reports of a draft opinion that would strike down the protections afforded by Roe and Casey. We will continue to affirm that the ability of patients to access safe, legal abortion is critical for their health and well-being.” 1/
