After years of being told to “just deal with it,” I finally found a provider who offered anesthesia for my IUD swap. It was ridiculous how often I dismissed by providers, so I wrote about what it took to get the care I needed for Bedsider Providers 🤝🔗

What broke through on Power to Decide socials in Q2? 💬 Teen Mom OG’s Briana Dejesus + Dr. Raegan connecting on MTV 🔥 Bedsider using trends to call out birth control + sex myths 🎥 AbortionFinder makes its TikTok debut! More on the impact of our content:

Anti-birth control content IS NOT about empowerment. It’s a mix of grifters selling BS products, people insisting negative side effects equate to danger, and lies dressed up as wellness tips. Whether they’re selling supplements or shame, the goal is the same: Less choice and more control.

Today’s good deed: supporting our new AbortionFinder account over on the clock app 💜 cause I worked really hard on it 🥺

I didn’t want it to have to come to this, but here we are… Not letting my grandma out out of this cage until AbortionFinder reaches 10K followers on their new TikTok account: tiktok.com/@abortion_finder

If I got pregnant, the first time I… got nasty that kid would be 14 years old right now 😟 Literally can’t even imagine how much my life would fucking suck 😫 #thxbirthcontrol

“My baby is dead, they know it, and I’m still being forced to wait.” THIS IS THE REALITY OF WHAT ABORTION BAN DO TO PREGNANT PEOPLE. Cruelty is the point. Via @jessicavalenti.bsky.social jessica.substack.com/p/her-fetus-...

BIRTH CONTROL IS BASIC HEALTH CARE AND MEDICAID HELPS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACCESS IT. @rachelfey.bsky.social #ThxBirthControl #ImForPP

Abortion is common and people who have abortions are experiencing a NORMAL part of life. The crowd who is obsessed with what OTHER people with their own bodies are weird ones. #DestigmatizeAbortion #AbortionPositive

using #freakierfriday to see if anyone cares that the little brother from original was in a movie that was filmed in my house in middle school

*whispers* this is also true about criminalizing people for self-managed abortion later in pregnancy

Today, we #CelebrateAbortionProviders by recognizing EVERYONE who keeps clinics running with care and compassion. 💗 Doctors and nurses 💗 Lawyers 💗 Organizers 💗 Doulas 💗 Clinic escorts 💗 Counselors 💗 Researchers 💗 Medical assistants 💗 Donors 💗 Security 💗 So many more!

March 10 is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. With increasing attacks on abortion and the people who provide them, we talked to abortion providers across the U.S. about what they want their communities to know and what keeps them motivated to continue the work.

Y’all! It's National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers! Today is a day to #CelebrateAbortionProviders, including physicians, clinic staff, doulas, clinic escorts and others- for their work providing high quality care amidst unprecedented political attacks & hostility.

that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this

Abortion providers show up to work with compassion & courage to make it possible for patient to shape their own lives. And they do this despite the increasing attacks on them for doing their jobs! Grateful for their care today and always. 💜 #CelebrateAbortionProviders

What it feels like to talk about loving your hormonal birth control on TikTok 🥲 #TeamIUD #ThxBirthControl

So yeah love how even a rumor of being a “bitch” is more vilified than committing actual crimes

sometimes my job is so sad and hard but also everyday i'm reminded why i do this work and it's because people have abortions and people who provide or support abortion seekers are actually the best people on the planet, ever, ever

That time the combination of my Grey’s Anatomy addiction and my hatred for fake abortion clinics went viral 📈 via @msmagazine.com

Finally #thxbirthcontrol beanie weather ❄️

After being told (*cough cough gaslit*) by at least 4 different providers over the years that it wasn’t an option…. I finally got my IUD swapped under complete anesthesia today 💜 Shoutout to the providers who prioritize pain management and patient comfort 🫶

FYI I *always* want to hear about the abortion plotlines on your tv shows — a character considering an abortion, having an abortion, talking about a past abortion, or discussing abortion as a political / cultural issues. If I don’t have it already, I’ll put it in our database! abortiononscreen.org
