BREAKING: A judge has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and ordered that it keep getting Medicaid funds. https://t.co/Ec1pFtKzue

Planned Parenthood health centers save lives. We know what happens when they are “defunded.” Cancers go undetected, STIs go untreated, birth control is harder to get, and the health infrastructure of communities breaks down.

Call Congress: https://t.co/3aZSIXMIAD

Planned Parenthood health centers are the only source of health care for many patients. Many rely on Medicaid & other federal/state programs. "Defunding" Planned Parenthood is deeply unpopular. We can stop it, but we can't do it without you! https://t.co/GXeJxG96If 🎨 liberaljane

Americans overwhelmingly support Planned Parenthood & abortion access. Planned Parenthood is MORE POPULAR than any elected official or party; voters do not want politicians interfering in their health care. Tell Congress: Protect health centers & patients: https://t.co/0pNEG7Jy9J

"Defunding" Planned Parenthood would hit everybody's pockets because cruelty has a cost. Early estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office show it would cost $300 million to block people from getting care at PP health centers. Fight back: https://t.co/0pNEG7Jy9J

“Defunding” Planned Parenthood keeps patients from getting the care they need. Speaker Mike Johnson and his allies are trying to shut down PP health centers, pushing their political agenda instead of protecting access to essential health care. Fight back: https://t.co/0pNEG7Jy9J

We have great news to share! Thank you to everyone who contacted their senators. Every message and conversation with legislators can make a difference!

"...a better future isn’t determined in the battles of the day, but by applying ourselves with compassion and kindness to each other and ourselves every single day. I will always believe in ND. I will always fight for hope in our state for everyone in it." https://t.co/2KbcNGTeAN

Recent decisions coming out of the ND Legislature have caused pain, fear, and frustration. To those feeling unseen or unwelcome because of these votes, we want to be clear: Your worth is not defined by the choices of lawmakers. You matter, and you belong here.

At 12:30 p.m. today, the House will be voting on HB 1477 (protecting access to fertility treatment) and HB 1478 (protecting access to birth control). Our legislators have a chance to do the right thing—but they need to hear from you. Tell them to VOTE YES: https://t.co/YLLtwi0V8o

2.HB 1373 would redefine human being & personhood to apply at the moment of conception. This copycat legislation is a widespread tactic of the anti-choice movement & has been used to undermine the rights of pregnant people. Tell your reps to oppose HB 1373 https://t.co/yxIaeDEGf7

[Planned Parenthood North Dakota Advocate @ppNoDak]

2 bills will be heard in committee tomorrow. HB 1595 would enforce guidelines for unlicensed clinics (crisis pregnancy centers) to receive state funds, including requiring at least 1 qualified health care provider be employed & present. Show your support: https://t.co/9RcCZadLBf

"A new bill introduced in the North Dakota Legislature is already drawing intense debate over its potential implications for reproductive health, particularly in relation to in vitro fertilization (IVF)." https://t.co/6WLfjaIO6a

Help protect reproductive health care in ND!

Four GOOD reproductive health care bills have been introduced in the ND Legislature, and you can submit written testimony in support of them!

Here's a thread on how to do that >

Reps introduced HB 1373—a harmful bill redefining human being and personhood to apply at the moment of conception. This copycat legislation is a widespread anti-choice movement tactic to undermine the rights of pregnant people. Urge your reps to vote no: https://t.co/yxIaeDE8pz

We are heartbroken to lose the indomitable force that is our former president, Cecile Richards. In her 12 devoted years of service to our org, she brought us to new heights in our health care, education, and advocacy work.

She was the embodiment of “Care, no matter what.”
