The Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program (TPPP) has been pivotal in reducing teen pregnancy nationally from 34 births per 1,000 girls in 2010 to 13 births per 1,000 girls in 2023. Now, it's under attack.

Federal judges have levied an “ego-driven, petty” attack that targets a transgender civil rights attorney. We spoke with legal journalist, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social, to discuss the importance of this case:

"Everything's normal. You're fine." For 22 years, that's what Kate Helen Downey was told about her severe period pain, until she was finally diagnosed with endo. On CRAMPED, Kate investigates why so many people with uteruses are in unexplained, undiagnosed pain. Learn more in rePROs' new #podcast ⬇️

Despite often being dismissed as “foreign” problems, harmful gender-based practices persist in every community across the US. In this #podcast, Maniza Habib & Amani Nelson examine the roots of GBV in western culture and discuss a survivor-centered & culturally informed approach to fight these harms.

"Amid escalating threats and a lack of federal protection, abortion providers and advocates are fortifying clinics, pushing states to act and refusing to back down." Jodi Enda reports in the final installment of @msmagazine.com's series on antiabortion violence:

It took 22 years for Kate Helen Downey’s severe menstrual pain to be recognized as a symptom of endometriosis. As host and producer of the #podcast CRAMPED, Kate sits down with us to share her story and encourage us all to talk openly about period pain.

For decades, abstinence-only has excluded and required negative portrayals of our LGBTQ+ peers. Now, the Trump Administration is threatening to gut millions in funding for sex education, HIV and STI prevention, and teen pregnancy preventions programs that include inclusive lessons.

"Everything's normal. You're fine." That’s what Kate Helen Downey was told about her severe period pain for 22 years before her endometriosis was recognized. As host of CRAMPED, Kate investigates why there are so many people with uteruses in unexplained pain. www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo...

Over 75 organizations signed a letter to Secretary Rubio opposing the Trump administration’s planned destruction of nearly $10 million in contraception. "Family planning is lifesaving, time-sensitive, essential health care which enables all people to flourish."

This episode is resonating with so many people. I am so touched by all of the people who are sharing their stories in the comments. Thank you to all of you for sharing your stories. I am so sorry you had to go through that. 💜

As conservatives push for the criminalization of more pregnant women & abortion seekers, a new book shines a light on what it's like to be pregnant behind bars I spoke w/ author Rebecca Rodriguez Carey for @motherjones.com about the women she says the repro justice movement has largely left behind:

Shield laws have become a lifeline for abortion patients and providers in the US post-Dobbs, which is precisely why conservative policymakers are turning to the courts, Congress, and state legislatures to attack this critical method of care. 🧵 www.guttmacher.org/2025/09/atta...

Featured story: “HB 7 exports Texas’ extreme abortion ban far beyond state borders. It will fuel fear among manufacturers and providers nationwide, while encouraging neighbors to police one another’s reproductive lives, further isolating pregnant Texans, and punishing the people who care for them.”
