A 10-year-girl in Delaware picked up โItโs Perfectly Normalโ while at the library with her mother. When they came home, she showed her mom the chapter on sexual abuse and said, โThis is me.โ She was being abused by her father, and it was the first time sheโd spoken about it.

If you have experienced #sexualassault, I want you to know that itโs okay to be afraid of #papsmears. Youโre not being โstupidโ or โoverreacting.โ
You deserve a doctor who will work to create a safe space for you.
You deserve access to cervical cancer screening.

When abortion is banned in the South or Midwest or Appalachia people genes to shrug their shoulders, thinking folks can just fly or drive to the closest state where abortion is legal. But sometimes they canโt. Sometimes people are forced to stay pregnant.

Other cliniciand "described patients living in a state with an abortion ban who had bleeding while pregnant and were too scared to seek care in their home state due to the risk of criminalization. One clinician wrote:"

Today, I provided abortion care alongside a fantastic team.
We sat with patients and answered their questions, we held their hands, we did procedures.
But we also chatted about our families, about our hobbies, and our pets.
Because abortion is normal.

Yesterday while driving & listening to the book "When Abortion was a Crime," I was suddenly struck by a familiar story, one my mom told me years ago about a young lady who lived in her dorm who died of illegal abortion. The highlighted text is exactly what my mom had told me.

Had a doctorโs appt yesterday.
The MA asked if I was pregnant or breastfeeding.
Me: We are expecting via surrogate + I know it sounds crazy, but Iโm prepping my body to induce lactation.
MA: Congratulations. That is wonderful.

Advocacy works! It is a victory to see #Budget2023 continue investment in access to abortion and sexual health . This victory signals Canada's continued commitment in a time of attacks against reproductive health and rights around the world, and economic recession.

Reminder: Mifepristone + misoprostol are both extremely safe medications with decades of data to back this up, and the only ones who should decide what method of abortion they use is the patient getting the abortion.
