“By 2040, 70% of US will live in 15 states with 30 senators. That means 30% of country, which is whiter, more rural, more conservative, will elect 70% of senators”

Dr. Taylor of @DesertStarFP speaking the truth: "I think it’s a matter of the folks who are funding these efforts are more conservative. They actually like viability bans and aren’t comfortable with people having later abortions."

[Missouri Abortion Fund @MOAbortionFund]

A statement from Missouri Abortion Fund: MOAF aims to increase abortion access. The victory in Ohio this week shows once again that abortion is a winning issue. 🧵

“What we know is that creating carveouts of who can access abortion care creates a roadmap for anti-abortion politicians to punish and criminalize the people who need or provide abortions.” –Andrea Miller

[Amy Littlefield @amylittlefield]

After Ohio's abortion victory, I'm remembering @nirhealth's Andrea Miller, who would have had something uncompromising yet unifying to say about it.

Featuring @KellyBaden @Bonyen_Lee @rhartholder and excerpts from my last interview with Andrea.

Just a day after we talked bold and truly progressive strategy. Holding the movement accountable

I appreciated her willingness to say the hard part out loud, to commit to something #BetterThanRoe

I know @nirhealth will continue this important work & honor Andrea’s vision

[NIRHealth @nirhealth]

NIRH is mourning the sudden passing of our president, Andrea Miller.

Re-sharing this excellent piece rejecting the status quo after Dobbs in honor of the late Andrea Miller of @NIRH:
"...our task is to reclaim baseline expectations for what is right and just. It’s on us to demand a framework that includes everyone."

Hyde - AND its insurance ban progeny - are de facto abortion bans for too many. And they were alive and well under Roe.

We must build something better than Roe. Pass it on.

[Planned Parenthood Action @PPact]

For 47 years, anti-abortion politicians have used the Hyde Amendment to deny abortion coverage for people working to make ends meet. Since day 1, this policy has most harmed people of color, young people, and immigrants.

As some officials cheer on providers’ decisions to rollback care, transgender teens and activists feel betrayed.

Remember: the FAKE clinics known as CPCs are typically run by anti-abortion organizations, often with NO certified medical staff and NO intention of providing either abortion care OR birth control.

Medical decisions are too nuanced, science too complex and changing, people’s experiences too individualized and personal, to EVER be appropriately boiled down into legalese and enshrined into a statute.

[NEJM @NEJM]

Requests to help mold abortion legislation that runs counter to evidence-based medicine create substantial moral distress for clinicians and raise important ethical questions about how to respond. Read the full Perspective by @DrBevGray and Jonas J. Swartz, M.D., M.P.H.:

[Vanessa Wellbery @VanessaWellbery]

ALL of this but as an advocate, deeply resonating w how after many years of using stories of the most marginalized and traumatized to fight bans we have a moral responsibility not to throw those very folks under the bus to policies (falsely) perceived to be politically expedient

[Doc McNick (she/hers) @DocMcnick]

There are LOTS and LOTS of people & professions involved in the fight for #AbortionAccess. Some have been around a while, others are new to the fight

Women denied abortions were 4xs more likely to live in poverty 5 years later. 3xs more likely to be unemployed than those who were able to obtain an abortion. Abortion is an economic justice issue.
