Members of our state legislature have chosen to spend the current special session further attacking abortion access and undermining democracy through sham redistricting.
We call on our legislature to focus on the actual needs of Texans at this moment.
Texas already enforces a total abortion ban that has forced 28,000 residents to travel out-of-state for care in 2024. Now lawmakers want to go further, pushing an extreme and cruel agenda that would make abortion care even less accessible. 🚨
After a 6-week ban went into effect in #Florida, there was a substantial decline in clinician-provided abortions in the state.

The 2024 state legislative season is a stark reminder that the fight for reproductive freedom goes beyond abortion. Our new analysis reveals alarming trends—from attacks on assisted reproductive tech like IVF to restrictions on youth access to health care. https://t.co/ohttOuCQbU
Because #Florida’s Supreme Court upheld the state’s 15-week abortion ban, a 6-week ban is now cleared to go into effect on May 1. Floridians have faced more restricted access for close to a year. This new ban will further erode access.

BREAKING: An anti-abortion judge in Texas just ruled in the lawsuit challenging FDA approval of mifepristone. Our experts are reviewing the decision and will have more soon. This case is a frontal attack on a drug used in more than half of all US abortions. #MedicationAbortion
Last year I wrote an op-ed for @MsMagazine on why the debate on exceptions to abortion bans is disingenuous and harmful. That argument is apparently being misunderstood by some, including the author of a recent NYT oped.🧵
in terms of covering reproductive health law cases, i was really spoiled with scotus letting people know exactly what times opinions were being released because waiting for this texas mifepristone abortion ruling is so anxiety-inducing
We might get a decision today banning mifepristone and you'll see a lot of reactions. Let’s cut through the clutter:
-Their goal is to ban abortion
-In every state
-At any point of pregnancy
-For any reason
-Using any available lever—courts, legislatures, stigma, disinformation
It makes me sick to say but we should go ahead and talk about it -- I will be shocked if medication abortion or miscarriage treatment that uses mifepristone is still allowed in the U.S. by the end of February. Anti-abortion orgs have carefully set this up to ensure a win.
#MedicationAbortion is safe, effective & accounts for more than half of all US abortions.
But a federal court case now threatens access for people nationwide. Here are the facts you need to know about medication abortion & what’s at stake in this case 🧵

The reasons someone has for seeking an abortion are personal to the pregnant person, and every reason is valid.
Everyone should be able to get the full range of pregnancy-related care—including abortion—free from unnecessary and burdensome restrictions.
