"Pulmonologists, critical care doctors, even rheumatologists are struggling to adequately treat pregnant patients in states that restrict [abortion] rights, new research reveals." Reporting from Allison Torres Burtka via @rewirenewsgroup.com:

Scientific evidence has overwhelmingly proven that mifepristone is safe and effective. Our access to medicine must be dictated by science, not politics. This is a win for our reproductive rights.

Last I talk to Juskwa Burnett & Tarah Demant re: healthcare & judicial barriers faced by Indigenous women when it comes to the disproportionate rates of sexual violence they face. The US gov also erects barriers when it comes to accessing healthcare & support. www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo...

In this episode I talk to Marium Durrani about the rise of intimate partner violence and domestic violence after the overturning of Roe. www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo...

In this episode Monica Edwards and I share our personal stories and we discuss the ways in which IPV and reproductive health, rights, and justice intersect, and the communities most impacted by IPV. www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo...

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This is an issue that lands very close to home for me as a survivor of intimate partner violence when I was in my late teens and early 20s. I just wanted to take a moment to say to other survivors that I see you, I believe you, and I stand with you.

A new @ifwhenhow.bsky.social & @hrw.org report based on 62 interviews across 6 states reveals how state-mandated parental notification laws effectively give parents or judges “veto power over a young person’s abortion decision,” violating young people's human right to bodily autonomy.

Though policymakers frame parental notification laws as less harmful than parental consent laws, @hrw.org and @ifwhenhow.bsky.social found that notification laws essentially grant parents–or a judge– veto power over a young person’s abortion decision. Read more: tinyurl.com/WhoseAbortionIsIt

A recent federal policy change allowing immigration enforcement at domestic violence shelters has also created more barriers for undocumented survivors, who advocates say already deal with abusers threatening to report them to ICE or take their children out of the country as a means of control.

Recent reporting by The 19th reveals, ICE continues to detain people that are pregnant, postpartum, and/or nursing despite federal limits on such practices, raising human rights & maternal health concerns. Maternal health is a human right, & includes immigrant & asylum-seeking parents & families.

“Instead of investing in maternal and reproductive health, prosecutors are weaponizing the law against pregnant people, especially in states already facing maternal mortality and infant health crises.” —Lourdes Rivera of @pregnancyjust.bsky.social via @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

For 25 years, mifepristone, the first of two meds used in medication abortion, has given people the power to manage their abortions safely and on their own terms. Its success is exactly what makes it a target for anti-abortion extremists. Learn more: www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo...
