“Living is all that we seek”

A patchwork of policies is trying to level the inequitable access to fertility care between straight and queer couples. Only seven states and Washington, D.C. have insurance laws that explicitly require the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people. rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/06/18/l...

ICYMI: @cameronoakes.bsky.social talked to the founder of a popular New York City LGBTQ+ book club about queer literature, book clubs, and what she's reading this Pride Month.

A delightful read about reading—and community

Happy Pride! @cameronoakes.bsky.social talked to Joey Lobel, founder of the Queer Book Club in New York City, about the importance of LGBTQ+ literature, how to come up with a great list of reads for Pride Month, and building community through books.

This is one those (whimsical and fun) stories I enjoy reading and editing the most: @cameronoakes.bsky.social interviewed Joey Lobel, creator of Brooklyn’s Queer Book Club meetup group, for @rewirenewsgroup.com about how to build a queer summer reading list.

It's Pride month! To kick things off for @rewirenewsgroup.com's coverage, I interviewed a local queer book club founder about building the Queer summer reading list of your dreams.

This is indeed a super fun story!

For @rewirenewsgroup.com, I wrote about how South Asians in the U.S. frustrated with America's dating crisis are turning to WhatsApp networks to find love:

BREAKING: It’s now past 5pm ET and no word from the Supreme Court. This means the 5th Circuit’s ruling restricting telehealth prescriptions of mifepristone is now in effect. However the Supreme Court could act and change this at any time.

As more local police collaborate with ICE, some crime victims and people who call 911 face arrest. People detained by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office include a restaurant employee reporting a possible burglary, a mom reporting a theft, and a crime victim who was in a minor fender bender.

Alabama jailed a woman for endangering her fetus. Then jail staff forced her to give birth in a cell with only other incarcerated women coming to aid her and her baby, according to a lawsuit.

BREAKING: SCOTUS extended its stay of the 5th Circuit's ruling in the abortion pill case until Thursday @ 5 PM, meaning mifepristone is still available via telehealth, the mail, and pharmacies for now @rewirenewsgroup.com rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/05/11/s...

NEW from @natasharoy.bsky.social for @rewirenewsgroup.com: #SCOTUS extended its hold on a lower court ruling that blocked a 2023 FDA rule allowing mifepristone to be prescribed remotely and dispensed via mail or by a pharmacy: rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/05/11/s...

Unfortunately, this is not the first time crisis pregnancy centers have appeared in a federal directory. Back in 2023, I reported on the CDC's refusal to remove them from its STI testing directories. And that was under the Biden administration.

To the extent that crisis pregnancy centers offer help for people continuing pregnancies—like diapers or baby clothes—there are usually strings attached. You might have to "earn" help by attending Bible study, for example.

Even anti-abortion physicians acknowledge that the quality of services at crisis pregnancy centers is poor, as @susanrinkunas.com and I reported for @autonomynews.co and @motherjones.com, based on recordings we obtained from an industry conference:

Ultrasounds at crisis pregnancy centers are typically not diagnostic—meaning they have no actual medical value, and are frequently read by people who lack appropriate training, resulting in cases like this:

Crisis pregnancy centers—which primarily exist to confuse, mislead, and delay abortion seekers—are increasingly advertising medical services. But these services are often of poor or dubious quality to say the least.

The site links out to Option Line, a 24/7 contact center that refers callers to crisis pregnancy centers. It is operated by Heartbeat International, one of three major crisis pregnancy center umbrella organizations.

NEW: The Trump admin has launched moms.gov, featuring "resources, information, and help for new and expecting mothers." The first resource listed: anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, which appear next to or above federally qualified health centers, depending whether you're on desktop or mobile.

Re: RFK Jr. going after antidepressants: When I reported this, multiple sources mentioned fear about access to medications. This stayed with me: “...To be told you can’t have this essential medicine that keeps you alive...what is that, other than saying, fundamentally, you are unworthy of life?”

The SCOTUS news just won’t stop. Proud of our team at @rewirenewsgroup.com for all today’s incredible coverage of mifepristone access, incl this legal explainer from @natasharoy.bsky.social. There’s more to come–including from @hegemommy.bsky.social and @angryblacklady.blacksky.app–so stay tuned.

ICYMI: SCOTUS paused a block on the telehealth provisioning of mifepristone for one week. @natasharoy.bsky.social broke down what that means for your abortion care options

@catesby.bsky.social talked to @rebeccakelliher.bsky.social, Just Pills, about the history and development of abortion pills in the U.S. and in Latin America.

Back in December, law professor @rebouche.bsky.social explained why the courts were going to have a major impact on abortion access in 2026, especially in deciding the future of medication abortion. Spoiler alert, she was right:

What is medication abortion? Last year, @cameronoakes.bsky.social talked to medical experts about how the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol are used as a safe option to end a pregnancy:

This morning, the Supreme Court temporarily restored nationwide access to mifepristone, pausing a lower-court ruling that had prevented the virtual prescribing and dispensing of the drug. We put together a timeline of the Louisiana case that could upend medication abortion access nationwide:

The Supreme Court is poised to weigh in on access to mifepristone, also known as the abortion pill. Here's what the Supreme Court's next steps could mean for telehealth abortion care—and what your options are.

explained What Is Going On & misoprostol-only abortions for @rewirenewsgroup.com:

building off the fab reporting by my colleague @cameronoakes.bsky.social rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/05/23/m...

NEW: SCOTUS has restored access to mifepristone prescribed via telehealth until May 11 while the Court considers next steps.

Here's our timeline of the Louisiana case that got SCOTUS involved in medication abortion. Alito set deadline for next steps at 5 p.m. on May 11.

It's a sign of the times that @rewirenewsgroup.com has spent 2026 debunking health misinformation coming from the U.S. government–and not just any federal officials, but from the nation's health agency. Today, we examine the FDA's enthusiastic claim that a drug called leucovorin may treat autism.

Let's be honest... This is what the in-unit dishwasher on @streeteasy.bsky.social is all about.

Edited @cuteflesh.bsky.social is such a delight. Emily Post doesn't cover communal sex toys. "As an intrepid sex writer, I feel it is my job to bring etiquette into the modern era and ask: Is it okay to put a butt plug in multiple anuses?"

Chemotherapy and surgery were long assumed to be dangerous for the fetus, but the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine now says that cancer treatment should not be withheld just because a patient is pregnant. @cameronoakes.bsky.social on this new, potentially life-saving change to medical guidance:

We spent months looking into how the Trump admin has remade the immigration courts by purging judges and pressuring those who remain to accelerate deportations. HT @nicknehamas.bsky.social for steering and @datab.ae, Allison McCann, @haleaziz.bsky.social + many more www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

I had a brief breast cancer scare when I was pregnant. I couldn’t stop thinking about the late friend of a friend whose cancer symptoms weren’t explored bc she was pregnant. She died. This is a very, very good change of direction. Props to @cameronoakes.bsky.social for tracking the research.

NEW: The judge in the Louisiana case that could upend medication abortion access has issued a ruling temporarily protecting telehealth abortion care in the state. Rewire is tracking this important case and will keep updating our timeline as the case progresses.

Breaking update on @natasharoy.bsky.social's excellent coverage of the Louisiana Mifepristone lawsuit: A federal judge has paused the case while the FDA's "review" of the drug proceeds. Mifepristone is safe and widely used in U.S. abortion care. rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/03/10/l...
