On Fri night, Brooklyn court staff forced a woman to give birth inside the courtroom. Per public defenders, she gave birth in handcuffs, unable to reposition herself, unable to pick up her infant. The men who’d shackled her looked on. The judge lauded the birth of a ‘beautiful baby’ on the record.

MIFE UPDATE: SUPREME COURT PAUSE (May 4th 2026) The Supreme Court has temporarily paused Friday’s Fifth Circuit’s order restricting Mifepristone by mail and telehealth.

MIFE UPDATE: A federal court has ruled that Mifepristone — one of the two medications used in medication abortion (“the abortion pill”) — can no longer be mailed. This applies nationwide. For now, mifepristone cannot be mailed and must be dispensed in person.

Reminder! This is tomorrow at noon at Ridgewood Commons! We will, as always, be covering misoprostol-only abortions, and will also discuss yesterday's ruling (amongst many other things). Bring a friend!

We heard that "progressive" Councilmember Gale Brewer is considering changing her vote on 175-B (she abstained in the first round). Give her a quick call TODAY (before 5pm) to demand she vote NO on 175-B so that the mayor's veto holds! 212-873-0282

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR! We are once again asking you to help us fundraise for our friends at @nyaaf.bsky.social, New York's only abortion fund. Buy some cool merch designed by us and give NYAAF your money!! www.bonfire.com/store/nycfar...

Mayor Mamdani vetoed 175-B! Supported by Zionist institutions, 175-B seeks to prevent pro-Palestine protests at schools. The Mayor’s veto comes after a broad coalition of pro-Palestine, Jewish, education, labor, repro, and progressive orgs fought for months against this bill and similar proposals.

Major victory for the rights of students and education workers in NYC!! Huge shoutout to @peoplesplannyc.bsky.social and all of the educational groups who have been organizing so hard against 175-B.

Got two minutes today? Keep urging state leadership to nix the buffer zone proposals! These proposals would make demonstrating or *preparing to demonstrate* (i.e. just hanging out) outside places of worship a Class E felony.

Super quick and easy action you can take today against the NYC buffer zone bill 175-B, which would curtail protest at educational facilities (including college campuses): actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

We are meeting with a bunch of state reps this week — keep making these three calls daily! Make it clear New Yorkers OPPOSE buffer zones.

Save the date! Our next infoshare will be Sunday, May 3 at Ridgewood Commons. Leave with empowering knowledge on abortion pills, self-managed abortion, and the state of pregnancy criminalization in the country. Masks will be required and provided. No registration required. See ya there!

🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 @speakermenin.bsky.social @ericdinowitznyc.bsky.social just passed 2 bills that restrict protest BUT we can still defeat 1 of them. We demand: @mayor.nyc.gov: Veto Int 175-B! @council.nyc.gov: Sustain the veto! Join us 4/16 @ 12PM, City Hall #NoTo175B RSVP: tinyurl.com/rallyNo175b

NEW: Our grassroots coalition statement on the passage of Intros 1-B and 175-B: tr.ee/statement

New Yorkers gathered on the steps of city hall today to say NO to buffer zones, NO to censorship, NO to empowering the cops to violently policing protest they disagree with. @nyclu.org @aqeny.bsky.social @nycforabortion.bsky.social @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @palestinelegal.bsky.social

Councilmembers are spreading a lot of misinformation about Intros 1-B and 175-B, the two "buffer zone" bills that are slated to be voted on this afternoon. The bills will not combat antisemitism or any form of hate, and will endanger New Yorkers already disproportionately targeted by the NYPD.

Electeds should not be prioritizing the interests of foreign real estate companies violating human rights over their own constituents. Yet by supporting Int. 1-B, these 35 NYC councilmembers are doing just that.

🚨 CALLS TO MAKE TODAY BY 5PM. City Council will be voting on these bills Thursday.

Keep making these calls today! We have til Thursday to stop these bills.

Join us with the NYCLU & dozens of community organizations to stand against City Council's proposed "buffer zone" bills that would prevent protests against the sale of #StolenPalestinianLand outside places of worship, or for divestment from war profiteers outside educational facilities.

One hour left to make these calls today! It is imperative everyone call these councilmembers to let them know that they have been duped: 1-A and 175-B are NOT hate crime prevention measures. They are designed to prevent forms of speech that the speaker disagrees with.

SCOOP: Planned Parenthood of Greater New York—an affiliate facing budget shortfalls—is selling its Manhattan health center, management told staff today. Plan is to close the Bleecker St clinic, where PP has operated for three decades, and move staff and patients to the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn

Some Roe anniversary mind expansion.....

ATTN: TEXANS! Repro action alert! The Afiya Center is organizing a campaign to demand #txlege release maternal mortality data from '22 and '23 -- after the Dobbs decision. Fill in your address and the form auto-sends to your state reps + health officials!

I know folks largely mean well. But nothing tells me we have different goals more than “Roe is the floor.” What do I mean by that?

Reposting our guide from November about what New Yorkers (and most in blue states) can do to protect access to abortion under Trump! More details in thread and at nycforabortionrights.carrd.co. Share information, not panic ❤️

ALL ABOARD ;) the barbie meme train! First up: some NYC villains, with a bonus link to some Eric Adams Cringe™️ via @hellgateny.bsky.social: https://hellgatenyc.com/new-yorkers-react-to-eric-adams-reacting-to-someone-saying-fuck-you

We have 14 spots left for our info session and social tomorrow in Crown Heights! We will cover the history of abortions outside the formal medical system, including herbs, menstrual extraction, mife + miso! To RSVP, DM us on IG @/nycforabortionrights

I’m gonna channel my anger into being really annoying to fascists at @nycforabortion.bsky.social clinic defense tomorrow

As predicted, the fall of Roe has led to worsening violence in states where abortion remains legal. Cops aren’t keeping clinics safe. Is it time to try a new approach? https://rewirenewsgroup.com/2023/06/12/anti-abortion-and-fascist-violence-are-one-and-the-same-clinics-are-paying-the-price/

we talked to @garnethenderson.bsky.social for this very important piece 👇

Want to rep NYC and being pro-abortion? You have until MAY 31st to get a tee from our design drop!! All proceeds go directly to the New York Abortion Access Fund, New York State’s only abortion fund. Last month we raised over $4,000 — let’s keep it going! bit.ly/nyaaf-tees

NEW from Shane Burley in Truthout about the long history of abortion clinic defense as anti-fascist action. A reminder that we do clinic defenses on the first Saturday of every month in Soho! https://truthout.org/articles/abortion-clinic-defense-needs-to-be-seen-as-a-key-part-of-anti-fascism/

If you look a bit deeper, this isn’t some “rightward swing” on Revcom’s part. They’ve ALWAYS held these beliefs. Last year @nycforabortion.bsky.social made an excellent call out for their front group “Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights” and the transphobia and anti-blackness they manifest

TOMORROW at 5pm at Foley Square in Downtown Manhattan, we will be mobilizing alongside many NYC groups to demand an end to Copmayor Eric Adams’ austerity budget and slashing of public services and demand we prioritize community wellbeing over policing. Join us!

Black, Indigenous, and POC COMRADES TO THE FRONT ❤️‍🔥 our next orientation will be led by BIPOC NYCFAR members for new BIPOC NYCFAR members! It’ll cover our organizing, working groups, and how to get involved! Folks of all backgrounds and skills welcome. Sign-up link at bit.ly/nycfar-orientation

IF YOU KNOW PEOPLE IN MINNEAPOLIS/ST.PAUL, tell them to come out at 7pm tonight at the State Capitol to support Planned Parenthood workers against their CEO’s union busting! They have fired two union leaders and disciplined the entire bargaining team.

The Black maternal mortality rate in the US is insane. In Mississippi—where Dobbs hailed from—it is 75 more times dangerous for Black women to give birth than to get an abortion. SEVENTY-FIVE TIMES. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/05/14/black-doulas-maternal-mortality-rate/

We just released a statement calling in Planned Parenthood leadership. This is not an attack on individual workers at PP who are doing vital work, but rather a declaration that the problem of resource distribution and neoliberal politics in the reproductive rights space must be confronted. 1/2

manifesting abortion twitter here by sharing info about self-managed abortion (SMA)! did y’all know Abortion pills are available by mail in all 50 states? 🕺🏽 more at plancpills.org! also here is our SMA hub, which includes infosec and funding help: https://sma-info.carrd.co
