Happy abortion provider day to all of our current, past, and future providers! We thank you for continuing to provide health care to those who seek it!
Did you know?:
There is NO significant difference in # of abortions in places with restrictive vs liberal laws?
There is, however, a big difference in safety of the women who seek them. https://t.co/h8P7CX7lHe
“The Administration is putting physicians in an untenable situation, prohibiting us from having open, frank conversations with our patients about all their health care options—a violation of patients’ rights under the [AMA’s] Code of Medical Ethics,” https://t.co/iCjv7RmdD7
A win for safe abortions. Politicians’ (and judges’) personal feelings about abortion procedures do not and should not overrule medical safety. https://t.co/uSbSKkqEir
This UCSF "Turnaway" study examines what happens when people are denied abortions. A lot of really valuable information as politicians try to force us towards a future where more people are turned away from legal and safe abortion care. https://t.co/ad2bgkbeGY
10 years ago, Dr. George Tiller was murdered for providing care for patients. Today, we honor his legacy and uplift the compassion that guided his work. Thank you to ACN member Carole Joffe for honoring this part of his legacy.

LOUISIANA: Anti-abortion politicians are close to passing SB 184, which would ban abortion at 6 wks, before most women know they’re pregnant. We need you to take action TODAY & fight back against these attacks on our rights. Call Governor Edwards at 225-342-7015. #StopTheBans
“Roe v. Wade is rooted in a basic understanding that women’s lives matter and that we have rights, needs and interests that don’t vanish when we become pregnant��� https://t.co/WIPQSTYIrz

Who are we? Organizations at the frontlines of reproductive health, rights, and justice! Today, NOAF proudly stands with @WWAVinc and @nolapeoplesassemb Women with a Vision, Inc. and the New Orleans Peoples Assembly!
Language check: all #abortion bans are extreme abortion bans. A 20 wk ban is extreme, a waiting period is extreme. Any policy that interferes with a decision made by a person and their healthcare provider is an extreme overreach of government. #AbortionIsHealthcare
Today, we took a stand to protest unconstitutional restrictions on bodily autonomy and human rights! We gathered in the halls of the Louisiana State Capitol and held a "die-in" to protest the suite of anti-abortion bills being advanced and passed this legislative session.
