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.

Not for nothing, but 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

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?

As an abortion advocacy organization, when we advocate for trans rights someone will inevitably ask: “Shouldn’t you just stick to abortion?” No, we shouldn’t, and we won’t.

Abortion ban “exceptions” are a performance to make anti-abortion extremists look reasonable. They are not. The “exceptions” are meant to be confusing for patients and providers because anti-abortion extremists do not want *anyone* having an abortion, even if it means people die. Don’t be fooled.

A legal battle in Texas threatens to dismantle the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act—putting the rights of pregnant and postpartum workers, and the integrity of congressional lawmaking, on the line.

The full statement Physicians for Reproductive Health @prhdocs.bsky.social shared regarding the recent arrests of Texas health care workers over alleged abortions:

It’s not uncommon for non-physicians to dispense medication abortions: Nurse practitioners and midwives are legally authorized to provide medication abortions in over 20 states in the U.S. From @prhdocs.bsky.social:

@prhdocs.bsky.social teamed up with @npwf.bsky.social to detail the devastating consequences the Dobbs decision has had on the health care system. Read it here: tinyurl.com/yduu29f2

We are losing clinicians—fast. People are leaving states with abortion bans. Medical students & residents choose not to train or practice in places where they can't provide evidence-based care. Dobbs + dangerous abortion bans are exacerbating what was already an urgent, dire shortage of providers.

I’m honored to #CelebrateAbortionProviders with @prhdocs.bsky.social and @abortioncare.bsky.social. This is a resilient, brilliant community. We aren’t going anywhere.

Thank you, @murray.senate.gov for meeting with us and for your commitment to making reproductive health care, including abortion care, more accessible and more equitable for all people. We are lucky to have you in our corner. 💙✨

Trump & Republicans’ attacks on women’s health are making it harder for women to get the reproductive care they need in all corners of our country. I met with doctors from @prhdocs.bsky.social to hear how they're adapting to these new barriers.

...And #abortion. Medicaid is critical to many types of healthcare in NJ including abortion care, which luckily NJ state's Medicaid covers. Without it, many patients may have to pay hundreds out of pocket or not get care at all. @prhdocs.bsky.social @acog-org.bsky.social www.nj.com/politics/202...

1. Good news: Multiple hospitals are resuming trans care under 19 years old after Trump's trans ban was blocked temporarily in court. Writer Mira Lazine reports on hospitals in Arizona, Michigan, and Virginia restarting care. Not all hospitals have, though. Subscribe to support our journalism.

“Congratulations” to RFK Jr. on the sweet new gig! Here’s what else you win: •Physicians fact-checking you at every turn •Physicians getting even louder about science and evidence-based medicine •Physicians making fun of you in our group chat because you don’t know what you are talking about

This policy is HARMFUL and REGRESSIVE—and it will disproportionately impact women and girls, who will be denied access to life-saving reproductive health services. Get up to speed on the dangers of the Global Gag Rule here:

Remember, the reproductive justice framework includes parents. Affordable childcare gives parents the ability to work and provide for their families. Freezing federal funding and dismantling public programming is an attack on working parents, particularly working mothers.

New data from us: Families need $180,000 a year to afford child care. If Trump and conservatives in Congress were pro-family, they’d invest in care—not illegally freeze federal funding across programs, dismantle public programs, and push tax cuts for billionaires. nwlc.org/resource/chi...

Us pulling up on anti-abortion legislators

Physicians here. Gender-affirming care is as lifesaving as it is life-affirming. We trust trans youth to know what they need. We love you and we are right behind you.
