Being a good human is often easy. Thanks to @prh.org for putting out this gender inclusive language guide. prh.org/resource/gen...

⚡️🪩WE’RE HAVING AN ABORTION PARTY AND YOU’RE INVITED. On Monday, May 4th, 2026, we are celebrating abortion providers who show up for their communities and patients amid threats + political attacks and we’d love for you to be there in-person and online. Get your tickets at prh.org/courage

We're with @prh.org, Dr. Verma, and all of medical reality, if that wasn't clear.

As @prh.org fellow, Dr. Verma, said “ we should not pretend that this is an issue of the science.” @acog.org: “complication or death risk from an abortion procedure “is less than the same risk from common procedures like wisdom tooth removal, cancer-screening colonoscopy, and plastic surgery.”

Anyway, in conclusion, at this very moment, someone in red America is taking abortion medications out of a bulk supply in their closet and putting it in a nondescript envelope to mail. This will continue to happen regardless of what the Senate does or doesn't do next.

Third and final witness is Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN who provides care in Georgia & Massachusetts and is a fellow with @prh.org. "Holding space for complexity is important -- but discomfort with abortion care should not be used as an excuse to distort facts."

Amazing moment in Dr. Nisha Verma of @prh.org's testimony: She discloses that she herself took these medications after suffering a "devastating pregnancy loss" a few months ago.

Louisiana AG Liz Murrill bemoans that telemedicine Rx plus shield laws allowing Rx across state lines lead to 900 abortions a month in LA; some folks later go to emergency room. Evidence-based witness from @prh.org later notes people are ordering pills BECAUSE states like Louisiana banned abortion

@prh.org is hiring a full-time physician Reproductive Health Advocacy Fellow — someone ready to use medical expertise to take on policy, misinformation, + the systems that harm our patients. If you’re a clinician who wants to practice medicine *and* shape it, take a look. 🔗 prh.org/careers/#fel...

Folks, it’s high time we cleared something up: abortion pills and “morning after” pills are two different things. You take the morning after pill when you have the ingredients for tacos. You take abortion pills when you have an existing taco you don’t want to or can’t have.

“I was with you, until you said ‘pregnant people.’” I get this a lot. I’m an abortion provider, and the CEO and President of an org known for abortion advocacy. Let’s talk about why I use inclusive language — and why I’m not stopping. 🧵

if you are “pro-choice” and also transphobic, you are not serious about undoing the control, white supremacy, and patriarchy that make abortion bans possible and you are certainly no ally to bodily autonomy or self-determination

Abortion is health care, but it can also be an act of hope or a prayer or a wish or a Hail Mary for the lives patients want to protect or build or keep imagining. Some people don’t want to be pregnant, they have an abortion, they go on to lead the lives they imagined. Abortion is worth celebrating.

I hate the Hyde Amendment and you should too! It prohibits federal funds, like Medicaid, from being used to pay for abortion care. It sucks soooo bad.

Science, not politics, should guide medical care. Yet the Trump administration and RFK Jr. are spreading false claims about Tylenol that create fear and confusion for pregnant patients. Know this: The science is settled. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. Thank you for having me @msnbc.com.

appreciated these insights from @prh.org fellow Dr. Mariana Montes, an obstetric anesthesiologist

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

Gotta say we when we worked our ass off to get into to medical school and complete the arduous journey of residency, we didn’t expect to spend so much time defending science and medicine from a *checks notes* whale carcass kidnapper

Balanced coverage ≠ platforming extremists or medical misinformation

Our patients trust us to protect their health and dignity. Political assaults like those from RFK Jr. and the Trump administration only heighten obstetric pain and violence and endanger lives. As physicians, we stand by the evidence: Tylenol is safe. @prh.org

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Prepare for potential immigration enforcement actions at health care facilities using @prh.org’s new resource page, which aims to support your efforts to protect patients and communities. prh.org/resource/ice...

After Greg Abbott signed #HB7 (which targets medication abortion) yesterday, Physicians for Reproductive Health @prh.org is out with a statement from Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi:

Abortion rights shouldn’t be a bargaining chip lawmakers use to negotiate what they consider to be “legitimate” political issues. Abortion is inextricably linked with economic, climate, and health care policy. It is a legitimate political issue. You bend on abortion, you’ll bend on anything.

Physicians for Reproductive Health (@prh.org) published resources for health care workers to prepare for ICE or law enforcement presence at their facility: "It is our collective duty as health care providers to do everything we can to protect our community members, regardless of immigration status"

⚡️HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS — ICE belongs in Diet Coke, not clinics. We created a resource to support health care providers with practical steps to protect patients and staff when ICE drops in so you can know your rights and respond with confidence. Get the guide here: prh.org/prepare-for-ice

The Trump administration announced a new initiative aimed at getting noncitizens disenrolled from the Medicaid program & CHIP. @reprorightsdoc.bsky.social of @prh.org warned that the initiative will "have a chilling effect" on those seeking care. www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

This is very important! If you want to make sure there's better information showing up on people's timelines, engage with content from trusted sources, like abortion funds.

The Summer I Turned Meaner to Anti-Abortion Extremists

For years, crisis pregnancy centers have been at the forefront of the anti-abortion movement’s agenda to target women navigating unplanned pregnancies. Now, the state's reproductive rights advocates are flipping the script and have opened Arkansas's first pro-choice "crisis pregnancy center.”

Disabled people are 11 times more likely to die during labor/in the postpartum period than non-disabled people. Better education and smashing ableism is how we get out of this horrible stat. For the past year, I’ve been looking into the topic of disability and pregnancy for @motherjones.com 🧵

It’s really ok to be abortion positive. It can be true that abortion is difficult for some, and easy and affirming for others. Childbirth is also difficult for some and easy and affirming for others. If you’re only policing abortion positivity, might be worth examining where you learned that from.

Hell yeah we will

As this Administration sows chaos and confusion, politicizes health care, and makes clear their desire to control if, when, and how people have their families, @prh.org will stay diligent and focused on ensuring we can continue to provide the care our communities need to thrive - including abortion.

When you’re pregnant and in a medical emergency, you deserve care immediately. But today, the Trump administration made that harder by rescinding EMTALA’s guidance around abortion care. Let’s call this what it is: an abandonment of responsibility to the lives of pregnant people.

Propaganda we aren’t falling for: -“Abortion isn’t health care” -Hormonal birth control fear-mongering -Transphobia -“Doctors shouldn’t get political” -The concept of RFK Jr

The cruelty and dissonance of lamenting low birth rates while simultaneously removing programming that makes it easier to start a family - what’s left to say?

Thanks to @msmagazine.com for this great write-up/interview about After Dobbs with @carolejoffe.bsky.social.

A healthy, sustainable planet will result in healthier pregnancies, healthier mamas, healthier babies, and ultimately, healthier families. Reproductive Justice doesn’t just intersect environmental justice - Reproductive Justice *requires* environmental justice.

✨NEW✨on our blog: We sat down with Drs. Keri Gerel, Joi Spaulding, Maura Jones Pullins, Eryn Wanyoni to discuss Black Maternal Health Week, the intersections of racism + maternal health outcomes, and so much more. Read it here: prh.org/updates/blac...

Criminalization is the primary way through which fascism advances its agenda — which is why we have to interrupt criminalization.

Watching abortion clinics opening up in non-ban states. Wish that could be us.

Hey so we are just simple doctors here and not economists but it seems really incredibly and especially cruel to take away people’s ability to opt out of pregnancy in an economic crisis

BREAKING: The Trump admin is yanking tens of millions in Title X funding from Planned Parenthood clinics—because apparently, birth control, STI testing, and cancer screenings are just too radical. Their excuse? Clinics dared to mention health equity and serve undocumented patients.

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic (previously Kerr v. PP South Atlantic), a case that centers on South Carolina's attempt to kick Planned Parenthood out of its Medicaid program. Arguments start at 10am ET; I'll be covering them live here.

I am one of the FEW abortion doctors left in Texas. I am Board Certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology AND Board Certified in Complex Family Planning I am a Texas #abortion expert Some might say, I’m THE Texas abortion expert I oppose SB31/ HB 44 Why?
