Midwifery is ESSENTIAL reproductive health care. Midwives support people throughout their pregnancies AND postpartum. NIRH is proud to advocate for midwives – their expertise improves health outcomes and supports autonomy for pregnant and birthing people! 🎨 by #sannalegan

A win for patients in #Idaho – a federal judge has granted PROTECTION to St. Luke's providers who perform abortions for patients suffering a medical emergency. It's up to states to proactively guarantee access to emergency abortion care to protect patients’ lives and autonomy.

Millions suffer from endometriosis without adequate answers or care. Meanwhile, lawmakers remain fixated on regulating uteruses, instead of funding research. This #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, we demand more than bans—we demand justice, research, and equity.

#WhiteLotus perfectly captures our look of disbelief at *certain* backwards takes 😲 Did we miss any?

NIRH is proud to have supported a Maryland bill that, if signed into law, will put $25 MILLION towards abortion care! HB930/848 ensures these funds go where they were intended: to help patients access essential care. Maryland is setting an example for 26 other states to follow ✅

The abortion pill is safer than taking Tylenol. Yet, it's harder to access. Make it make sense. 🤨

Abortion bans aren't the only thing that keep people from accessing the abortion care they want, need, and deserve.
Pink gradient showing common barriers to abortion care. It reads, "Systemic: Abortion bans, gestational limits, waiting periods, parental consent, and clinic restrictions. Financial: Cost of abortion care, lodging, transportation, or other needs to get care. Social: Internalized stigma, cultural or family pressure, coercion & misinformation. Logistical: No nearby clinics, limited availability, can’t take time off work, unmet access needs."

Did you know that #fakeclinics outnumber REAL CLINICS 3-1?! These anti-abortion centers exist just to manipulate pregnant people looking for support, and many are even funded by tax dollars! Spread the word about these insidious anti-abortion traps! 🎨 by #sannalegan

In the first criminal charges under Texas’ abortion ban, a Texas midwife has been arrested for allegedly providing illegal abortions. This is NOT an isolated incident - it is the predictable result of a coordinated effort to criminalize providers. Read on. texastribune.org/2025/03/17/…

People deserve access to medical care - regardless of their capacity for pregnancy. Treating hypothetical kids as having more value than real patients cannot be tolerated - whether through denying hysterectomies, abortion bans, or preventing BC access. Our repro health is OURS!

There are endless reasons someone may need birth control and abortion, but above all: it is our RIGHT.
Digital illustration of the faces of six people who use birth control. There are various reasons including 'managing illness, bleeding on your own terms, regulating menstrual cycles and preventing pregnancy. There's big text that reads, 'we must fight to protect our right to birth control.'

The FDA is responsible for regulating medication abortion, contraception, and other forms of life-saving reproductive health care. And yet to lead this agency, Pres. Trump appointed Dr. Martin Makary, who has spread blatant disinformation about abortion. That's a RED FLAG. 🚩

This story by @motherjones is a horrific example of what happens when we criminalize pregnancy. Pregnant people facing difficult circumstances need medical care, not punishment that makes them less likely to seek care. Read the article at the link below! motherjones.com/politics/202…

Newsflash 🚨 just because someone gets an abortion doesn’t mean they were pressured to. We must end this stigma that surrounds abortion care.
