“Understanding third-trimester abortions is the key to understanding all abortion care.” — @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social #ReproJustice @kpfa.org

This week’s #podcast features @amylittlefield.bsky.social discussing her new article for The Nation, “What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions?” alongside Garin Marschall, co-founder of @patientforward.bsky.social, who highlights the importance of protecting access to later-abortion care.

When @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social decided to become a doctor, she wanted to offer the technical part of care in addition to the emotional care and the educational care. She views healthcare as a way to empower people. #ReproJustice @reprosfightback.bsky.social

Whatever the stage of pregnancy, imposing any limits on abortion access means that we are not truly providing the room to choose. #ReproJustice @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social

📣 So excited for these upcoming book events in DC, Atlanta and NYC. I will be talking about Beyond Limits with some absolutely incredible conversation partners. Cannot wait to see you there! 🧡 For more info, visit ShelleySella.com 🙌 #AbortionBeyondLimits #EmpathyHasNoLimits #booksbooksbooks

“It’s important that abortion be provided throughout pregnancy without the intervention of the government, which doesn’t know people’s lives as well as the patients themselves.” — @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ #ReproJustice

Studies find that people denied abortions face increased rates of poverty, physical complications, and long-term health issues. But @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬’s patients didn’t need a study to tell them that. They lived it. #ReproHealth @time.com‬ buff.ly/XRF8mYw

@doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ and her mentor, Dr. George Tiller, had the same outlook: The pregnant person is smarter than the doctor. It’s a midwifery model that pays attention to the patient’s physical and emotional care. #ReproHealth

!!!!!!

Abortion is far safer than continuing a pregnancy in many cases due to the high maternal mortality rate in the US. This is why support systems are crucial for patients undergoing this procedure. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ will tell you. #ReproHealth

Before Roe was overturned, pregnant patients in the 3rd trimester were already living in a post-Roe world. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ points out that they had all the restrictions more and more people are facing now. #ReproJustice‪ @thecut.com‬

"When these stories are truly heard, judgment fades. Understanding and compassion take their place." 🧡 Check out @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social’s powerful feature in TIME & hear her talk with us about Beyond Limits on our recent episode: www.reprosfightback.com/episodes-blo... #Booksky

🧡 New essay today in TIME! 🧡 “We are told to be ‘reasonable‘ about abortion and accept limits—15 weeks, 20 weeks, 24. But the truth is, they do not reflect the unpredictable realities of pregnancy, or the complexity of human lives." time.com/7292801/thir...

@doctorshelleysella.bsky.social's book is probably one of the best things I've read in the past decade.

3rd-trimester abortion care is often stigmatized and misunderstood. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ wrote BEYOND LIMITS so that people understand the circumstances that lead individuals to seek such care. #AbortionIsHealthcare @genepoolmedia.bsky.social‬

📚 Happy Publication Week to @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social and her book, "Beyond Limits"! This book is "a tribute to the real people whose hearts, reasons, and stories are more complex than politicized conversations about abortion lead us to believe." Don't miss it! www.shelleysella.com

ROLL CALL 🗣️ @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social, the first woman to openly provide abortions later in pregnancy in the US, sits down with your Buzzkills to gab about her book "Beyond Limits," the beautiful legacy of Dr. George Tiller, and reclaiming the narrative from anti-abortion fools.

"If people could hear these stories, they would have such a different attitude about third-trimester abortion." @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social spent 20 years providing care to patients seeking abortion late in pregnancy. Our conversation about her new memoir: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Understanding 3rd-trimester abortions is key to understanding all abortion care. Because what drives people to have a 3rd-trimester abortion are the same things that drive people to have a 1st- and 2nd-trimester abortion. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬ #ReproRights

"What if we accurately & compassionately talked about why people may choose to terminate their pregnancy at [a late] stage?" @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social sits down with @thecut.com to discuss just that & her book with @beaconpress.bsky.social BEYOND LIMITS. www.thecut.com/article/dr-s...

This is my most personal interview to date. I hope folks will take a moment to read it and sit with the questions it raises. And a huge thank you to @msjpauly.bsky.social for the thoughtful conversation 🧡

Pub week continues with this new interview in @thecut.com 🧡 Huge thanks to @andreagonram.bsky.social for the thoughtful questions and for introducing readers to Beyond Limits!

In her new book ‘Beyond Limits: Stories of Third-Trimester Abortion Care,’ Dr. Shelley Sella tackles the discomfort and misinformation around abortion care later in pregnancy.

Happy #PubDay, @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬! 🎊 BEYOND LIMITS, a compassionate perspective on late-term abortion that challenges preconceived notions of who gets abortions and why, “bursts with insight.” — @publisherswkly.bsky.social‬ buff.ly/b45oAEz

"Life is complicated. I guess that's what I want to say, what I want people to acknowledge: that life is complicated, and it doesn't fit into gestational limits that the state has decided—that that's how we should decide who can have an abortion or not." @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social

ONE WEEK til my book Beyond Limits is available everywhere books are sold! 😬🥹🥰

@doctorshelleysella.bsky.social, retired OB-GYN & the first woman to openly provide third-trimester abortion care in the U.S., sits down with us this week to share her expertise, the many reasons people seek a third-trimester abortion, & personal stories from her new book Beyond Limits. #podcast

For @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social‬, defending later abortions requires a new paradigm of trust that will make us better able to defend all abortion. #AbortionIsHealthcare @thenation.com‬

"In essence, it’s child trafficking": another article on the state of Utah as a hotbed for #adoption trafficking. With competition among would-be adopters so intense--roughly 1 million couples versus roughly 20,000 adoptions every year--Utah is a hot marketplace.

I am so proud to be featured in this incredible article in @thenation.com alongside some inspiring providers, patients and advocates. I hope it will inspire folks to read more by picking up my book Beyond Limits 🧡
