NEW: The Trump admin quietly implemented a new policy that essentially bans abortion at VA facilities—including in cases of rape or serious health risk—confirming what we've always known: Trump's promise to leave abortion to the states was a lie.

In 2025, critical policy shifts widened the gap between US states working to protect or restrict #ReproHealth & rights. Our latest analysis explores key legislative trends & perspectives from state partners working to advance reproductive freedom for all: https://gu.tt/4oIGdn0

Last week, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed two rules that would withhold federal funding from any type of gender-affirming care for minors. This is only the latest of the Trump administration's attacks on trans youth. Learn more via @statnews.com: https://gu.tt/490kXTZ

Anti-abortion groups and policymakers in the US are attempting to weaponize environmental laws to restrict #MedicationAbortion. Our new analysis exposes misinformation driving this strategy and makes clear that science does not support these claims. https://gu.tt/4j0sgj4

For 52 years, the Helms Amendment has interfered with access to the full range of essential health services in many countries, including safe abortion care. Helms must end once and for all. #RepealHelms

As rigorous science faces the escalating threats of misinformation & false narratives, evidence-based research remains crucial to protecting & advancing bodily autonomy. Explore our latest findings on #ReproHealth in the US: https://gu.tt/48VEnJP

The Support UNFPA Funding Act would restore US contributions to a vital UN agency that advances sexual and reproductive health globally. Thank you Senator Shaheen for introducing this critical legislation! @unfpa.org @shaheen.senate.gov

This #UHCDay, we’re underscoring a simple truth: universal, equitable health care requires #SRH services. Fully meeting all SRH needs would cost $15.56 per person annually, and every $1 invested in contraception saves $2.48 in related care. Read more: https://gu.tt/4qVHXfc

New: Our 2025 state trends analysis captures major shifts in abortion policies across the US, including how several states escalated attacks on #AbortionAccess by targeting shield laws & increasing the criminalization of patients, providers & helpers. More: https://gu.tt/4oIGdn0

Even small premium payments make it more difficult to enroll in and maintain health coverage, especially for people with low incomes. If the enhanced tax credits expire the cost will hurt millions of families. Via @CenterOnBudget: momsrising.org/CBPPpremiumplans #TrumpInflationCrisis

Access to affordable coverage is critical to helping people get essential reproductive health care, but ACA tax credits are set to expire on December 31st. Congress must extend the credits now and protect coverage for millions of people. #HealthCarePriceHike

People seeking health coverage through the ACA are facing increased costs and the expiration of tax credits that provided vital financial assistance. Unless lawmakers take action to extend these credits, many enrollees could lose coverage. #HealthCarePriceHike

We just released the 2025 Communities Need Clinics report. Findings show once again how essential indie abortion clinics are to access in the U.S. #IndiesProvide the majority of abortions & operate the most clinics in states w/ the harshest restrictions. They also provide most later abortion care.

Exciting news: Dr. Blair G. Darney has been named Guttmacher's Vice President for Domestic Research. Starting 2/1, she will lead Guttmacher’s US research vision, ensuring rigorous, policy-relevant & impactful work that advances #SRHR nationwide. Congratulations, Dr. Darney!

A federal judge blocked a provision of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” excluding @ppfa.org from Medicaid. The ruling is on hold for 7 days and only applies to 22 states and DC. The facts are clear: cutting Medicaid for Planned Parenthood hurts patients and providers.

Texas abortion funds @fronterafundrgv @fundtexaschoice @lilithfund @janesdueprocess @teafund refuse to be intimidated by HB7. We will continue to find every possible way to legally support Texans seeking the health care they need and deserve, wherever they must go to access it.

Guttmacher’s latest global research highlights what’s needed to advance #SRH: prioritize contraceptive innovation, fund cost-effective SRH services and safe abortion care, and adopt person-centered measures that reflect people’s needs and wants. #GlobalHealth #ReproductiveHealth #Research

Decades of research show that medication abortion is safe, effective & common, but that isn't stopping Florida’s attorney general from spreading false narratives about mifepristone. Our expert Rachel Jones spoke to @19thnews.org about the science & efficacy behind #MedicationAbortion.

Medication abortion — especially #mifepristone — has become the target of widespread misinformation in the US. Our VP for public policy @kellybaden.bsky.social#mifepristonedebunks common myths from the anti-abortion movement. Share the facts to put science over stigma. #AbortionAccurate

At #ICFP2025, Guttmacher collaborated with partners from around the world to share joint #SRHR research & explore ways to uplift their work, including through two partner-led sessions featuring our colleagues from @aphrc.bsky.social & @iyafp.bsky.social#ICFP2025#SRHRHear more about these partnerships and more:

Freeda, the giant IUD touring Europe, is spotlighting the impact of millions of dollars’ worth of contraceptives sitting unused in a Belgian warehouse—supplies that could have supported 1.5M women & couples. Plans to burn them are paused, but the risk of expiration remains. https://gu.tt/449zlYq

In a new special issue of @contraceptionjl.bsky.social, co-organized by the Coalition to Expand Contraceptive Access, Guttmacher researchers and partners call for an updated person-centered approach to quantifying the impact of contraceptive access in the United States.

The Trump administration’s #Medicaid cuts could strip coverage from millions of people nationwide. Medicaid is the backbone of repro health coverage in the US. Without it, access to affordable birth control, pregnancy care & STI testing is at risk. Read more: https://gu.tt/4qNHc7X

Today, all eyes are on #SouthCarolina, as legislators consider the most extreme and cruel abortion ban in the country: S323. It’s a total ban with virtually no exceptions. People who have an abortion would be charged with murder, facing up to 30 years in prison.

New Guttmacher research is featured in Context’s article on the risks of declining SRHR funding. Our #AddingItUp findings show 214M women still lack modern contraception, and every $1 invested in family planning saves $2.48 in related health costs. Read the full article: https://gu.tt/4hYoztT

Good news: Marriage equality in the United States is safe for now. #LGBTQRights #SCOTUS

Thanks to the hard work of HRC and our partners, marriage equality remains the law of the land through Obergefell v. Hodges and the Respect for Marriage Act. We won’t let up. We will keep fighting until all of us are free.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court denied an attempt to challenge Obergefell v. Hodges, the case affirming marriage equality nationwide. Our freedom to marry remains the law of the land.
