Anyone who doesn’t understand this or says it isn’t true has never taken care of pregnant women from conception to delivery. They have no concept of the nuance, how many things can go wrong, and how often they DO go wrong. Pregnancy care isn’t possible without abortion access.

Without abortion, pregnancy is too dangerous to attempt. Building a family safely requires abortion. The reason pregnancy doesn’t kill more people is because OB/Gyns are good at their jobs. And abortion is part of the job.

"Being pregnant, desiring pregnancy, and parenting your children does not absolve you from being at risk of criminalization."
@Reprorightsdoc spoke with @Salon about the increased surveillance & criminalization risk that pregnant people face. Read more: salon.com/2024/10/03/new-rep…

Now that @opill_otc, the first-ever OTC birth control pill, is available on shelves & online across the US, we must ensure it is accessible. That means:
✅ fully covered by insurance
✅ low & no cost options
✅ stocked nationwide w/o barriers

The horror of the US criminal punishment system isn’t only that it wrongfully imprisons and kills innocent people. It is that it imprisons and kills regardless of guilt or innocence. It is designed to uphold power, not morality.

TW: The impact of abortion bans in GA and beyond is deadly. We need all hands on deck to demand accountability for the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller & to regain access to lifesaving care.

Health care providers are still unable to provide standard medical care in states with abortion bans, according to our new Care Post-Roe report.
"Medical care for pregnant people has become dangerously warped." - @DrDGrossman.

“This young woman in Georgia should have received the care she needed and deserved, without delay.” - @Reprorightsdoc
Access to the timely, compassionate care that we need is critical. Amber Thurman should still be alive.

Why do Republicans keep bringing up abortions in the “ninth month”? Beyond them not wanting to have a real conversation about the barriers they put in place to make it difficult for people to get abortions, pushing care later into pregnancy, it’s about disgust. I explain!

In the last two years, more than 100 pregnant people have been denied or delayed life-saving care.
"Whether you live in a ban state or a so-called ‘safe’ state, this affects us all,” said @Reprorightsdoc of @prhdocs.

150 years ago you would find that most people thought of abortion as normal and mundane and in fact did not consider it different from miscarriage. Rich white men were bothered by it thanks to the efforts of a bunch of racist doctors seeking to put Black midwives out of business

My heart will always be with abortion funds. They are our movement. Ensuring abortion funds have funding for people seeking abortions and for a local strategy (with abortion storytellers too!) means we will win. I truly don’t see how we can any other way. thenation.com/article/activi…

It's time for a different kind of world. Read our letter now. bit.ly/PRHBIDEN
New: Hundreds of health care providers send stark message on abortion to Biden & Harris.
“We ask you to champion policy solutions that are not premised on returning us to the narrow protections Roe created," @prhdocs & hundreds of other providers urged.
