Shield laws protect abortion providers who offer telehealth abortion to people outside the state. A New York judge reaffirmed the strength of state shield laws and drew a clear line against Texas’s attempt to export its abortion ban beyond its borders.

Mifepristone has a well-documented safety record, demonstrated through real-world use and in over 100 peer-reviewed research publications. The FDA’s inquiry into the safety of mifepristone is senseless and politically motivated. #AbortionAccurate

A medication abortion is safer than consuming Tylenol – and we can cite over 100 studies that prove it. #AbortionAccurate

The symptoms of a miscarriage and a medication abortion are identical. Medication abortion pills essentially prompt the body to have a miscarriage, a process that people often experience naturally at home on their own. #AbortionAccurate

Abortion bans deepen economic inequality. Abortion bans deepen economic inequality. Abortion bans deepen economic inequality.

Abortions are a normal part of our reproductive health care. Many people who have an abortion are already parents or decide to have children later in their lives.

Although many pregnant people use cannabis as a medicine to manage pregnancy symptoms or health conditions, they perceive providers as viewing and treating cannabis as a harmful recreational drug, according to a new study.

Even living in a pro-choice state doesn’t guarantee access to abortion care. An Illinois woman was denied emergency care for her ectopic pregnancy by an anti-abortion OBGYN before receiving care elsewhere.

Adoption can be traumatic for all parties. Placing a child for adoption is an extremely difficult emotional step for most people — and it is often traumatic for both the birth parent and the adoptee.

Restricting reproductive rights is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes. Restrictions on reproductive freedoms often necessitate other kinds of restrictions – like limits on free speech and travel – to enforce and maintain them.

The medical consensus on APR is clear: It’s not possible to “reverse” the effects of the abortion drug mifepristone, and attempting to do so may even be dangerous.

There’s a harmful myth that most patients regret their decision to have an abortion. In fact, the opposite is true. The majority of Turnaway Study participants reported feeling relief even years after their abortion.

"Mifepristone’s safety record outpaces that of penicillin or Viagra. Why then would our nation’s public health leaders want to investigate a medication that has a track record other medications would envy?" Read this op-ed from Dr. Daniel Grossman in @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/heal...

The medical consensus on abortion pill "reversal" is clear: It’s not possible to “reverse” the effects of the abortion drug mifepristone, and attempting to do so may even be dangerous.

Pharmacy dispensing of mifepristone was approved by the FDA in 2023, but educational opportunities for pharmacists were limited. Our researchers designed an educational course for pharmacists, which resulted in enhanced knowledge and support for medication abortion. doi.org/10.3390/phar...

The anti-abortion movement’s promotion of abortion pill "reversal" is akin to an “unmonitored research project,” @ansirh.bsky.social's Dr. Daniel Grossman told us. And in the US, there is a “very ugly history of experimenting on people from marginalized groups.”

Abortion care should be guided by evidence, not politics.

Telehealth abortion care is highly acceptable and beneficial for trans and gender expansive patients, according to a new study. Patients reported benefiting from an at-home experience that reduced gender discrimination and increased a sense of security.

According to ANSIRH's Dr. Daniel Grossman, the anti-abortion movement’s promotion of abortion pill "reversal" is akin to an “unmonitored research project.”

Abortion bans hurt families. When people are denied an abortion, they are at higher risk of poor bonding with their babies, and their existing children are also more likely to be raised in poverty and less likely to meet developmental milestones.

"With this new one, it’s possible that the price could come down further," ANSIRH'S @ushma.bsky.social told Newsday, "which would really increase access, especially for people [living in states] with abortion bans who have these tremendous barriers to abortion care."

Our health records are private for a reason. But Missouri’s new Attorney General, Catherine Hanaway, is trying to access Planned Parenthood patient records.
