@RishabhRustogi @IDFtweetz (2/2)Equitable access to abortion services will be possible only when every PHC offers nonjudgmental, safe care with informed choices. Open communication is key to reducing stigma.#IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoicesForChoice

@RishabhRustogi @IDFtweetz (1/2)Ensuring safe & dignified access to abortions in rural India requires strengthening legal execution, improving provider base, raising awareness about legality, & enhancing affordability, confidentiality, and quality of care.#IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoicesForChoice

@juzbrainfarting @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi Not at all. This is a very safe procedure when performed by skilled hands.

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (2/2)There is a need to ensure that credible, simple, need-based platforms are available to support those seeking information & care using chatbots, social media, or helplines, given the popularity of these mediums. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (1/2) Digital media's growing influence as an information source is undeniable, yet its reliability remains questionable. Women seek trustworthy content. Developing credible platforms tailored to their needs has become imperative. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@vibhorikak @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (2/2) Ensure she has the opportunity to ask questions & fully understand the procedure. Empower her to make an informed decision. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@vibhorikak @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (1/2)Offer nonjudgmental emotional support and help gather correct information from reliable sources. If she wishes, accompany her to a trained provider. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@pariktank @SaravanakumarOG @IDFtweetz Ensuring safe and dignified access to abortions in India can reduce this sporadic incidence. Lack of safe access coupled with social stigma leads women to choose an alternative action. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@FredFahrenheitt @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (2/2) It also extends to respecting women’s choices and supporting their autonomy in decision-making. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@FredFahrenheitt @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (1/2) Men are the first contact point for women as a reagent of social trust. Men can support safe abortions by advocating for reproductive rights, challenging stigma, and offering emotional support to partners. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@Vanshikaa_g @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi Socio-cultural factors mostly influence a woman’s decision to seek abortion, often through stigma, family pressures, & cultural norms. This often leads to feelings of guilt, stress, & isolation, impacting women's mental health. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@musumusuhaaaasi @IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi Restricting access to abortion and suppressing open dialogue does not prevent abortions; it only drives them underground, leading to an increase in unsafe abortions. This reality underscores importance of accessible safe healthcare. #IndiaForAbortion #RaisingVoiceForChoice

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (2/2) Empowering persons with knowledge of their rights enables confident, timely decision-making combined with enhanced confidentiality, affordability, & quality standards, creating a supportive environment that safeguards the health & well-being of potential abortion seekers.

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@IDFtweetz @pariktank @MedhaGandhi (1/2) Without clear knowledge of their legal rights, people may delay seeking care, be unaware of safe & available options, or even turn to unsafe methods. This not only increases health risks but also compounds feelings of uncertainty.

@SrBachchan Get well soon sir. You could have avoided any contact with outsiders. I am worried. Praying to God.

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@BellaLack Yes can see

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

Well said Lester

Somnath Chatterjee is lucky to get 1.5x3 inch space on the first page of TOI. Good that he died in 2018. Otherwise, he probably would have to book his own space in advance.

[Sushanta K. Banerjee @sushkumb]

@SrBachchan This add does not really undermine the status of bank, rather this is the gross reality.
