We couldn't imagine a better way to close out BHM than with a reflection from our very own Board President, Jordyn. Since joining our Board 8 years ago, she's fought for (and won) a more just Ohio for everyone who's had or will have an abortion. We're endlessly grateful for OUR president 💚

Reminder: Abortion is legal in Ohio through 21 weeks and 6 days from the start of your last period!

Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice coined "Reproductive Justice" in 1994 after the women's rights movement—led by white, wealthy women—routinely failed to address the needs of multiply marginalized people. A reminder: RJ is intersectional & goes beyond abortion or choice frameworks.

Trump tried, and failed, to ban abortion for migrant girls in U.S. detention during his first term. Now his administration has quietly and easily instituted a de facto ban by incarcerating vulnerable, pregnant children in Texas, an abortion ban state.

ICYMI: Every week, our editors scour headlines nationwide—from lawsuits over abortion access to LGBTQ+ rights—to bring you the most urgent news in reproductive justice. Here’s the latest in repro news:

OWA joins with Black communities across the nation in remembering the legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, who dedicated his life to fighting for Black liberation and equality. May he rest in peace and power, and may his work continue through all who fight for full racial justice and liberation. 🖤1/2

It's 2026. It's beyond time to stop thinking that consent to sex = consent to pregnancy.

For decades, survivors have begged for answers and accountability. But they say the latest tranche of documents—many containing unredacted names, contact information and identifying details—have left them retraumatized, exposed and furious.

When we talk about abortion, don't replace it with euphemisms like "a woman's choice" or "the right to choose. " Be bold, end stigma, and SAY ABORTION!

Abortion is... ✅ safe ✅ common ✅ a human right

Most people don't know that abortion funds can help, so tell a friend to tell a friend. No matter how you're feeling, AFO is here for you! 💞 www.abortionfundofohio.org/help

Update: The MAZU donation drop-off in Yellow Springs is paused due to overwhelming support! They're encouraging folks to donate directly to St. Vincent's.

Thousands of Haitian immigrants living in Springfield, OH, are set to lose temporary protected status 2/3. Locals are expecting a 30-day increase in immigration enforcement starting 2/4. AFO & @ohwomenalliance.bsky.social collected supports here: abortionfundofohio.org/springfield/

Where there's violent oppression, there's community resistance. We've collected a few of the extensive mutual aid efforts folks can support in Minneapolis: linktr.ee/abortionfundofOH Reminder: Police, prisons, and occupation are incompatible with Reproductive Justice & collective liberation.

ICE is a threat to public health. Full-stop, end of story.

Heads up! We're changing our intake process to better support Ohio abortion seekers, starting next Monday, February 2nd. Abortion seekers: We're here for you! Check out this run-through of our new streamlined process on our website: https://abortionfundofohio.org/abortion-funding-update/↗

NEW: An Atlanta-area crisis pregnancy center has raked in more than $1 million from an unusual source: the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CPC is opening a maternity home, worrying advocates that residents may be coerced into relinquishing children for adoption. @autonomynews.co

Midwestern tips to survive a winter storm: ✅ Take what you need, give what you can ✅ Help your neighbors ✅ Charge your vibrator

Ohioans voted overwhelmingly to protect abortion access in 2023. As of 2026, our elected officials have put forth total abortion bans, bans on medication abortion, absurdist anti-abortion sex ed, and duplicates of restrictions (like waiting periods) that are *currently* blocked in court.

We don't claim him

The future abortion funds want

Imagine spending your time policing hyperlinks and *checks cease & desist* ordering abortion pills, testing them, and finding that they were, in fact, abortion pills? www.jezebel.com/north-dakota...

Work that cultivates resistance is worth doing even when it's not flashy or immediately rewarding. Abortion access & the news move on a day-to-day basis. At the same time, liberatory work is a marathon, not a sprint. [Background ft. public domain illustration from Mori Yuzan]

hey! so it’s actually evil to deny someone the abortion they need

It's no shock that abortion funds don't receive federal or state (if you live somewhere like Ohio) grants. Help us fund abortion care by becoming a monthly donor: www.abortionfundofohio.org/aac

In Ohio, you legally have to give your name, address, and date of birth. You aren't required to show ID unless driving. You have the right to clearly state, "I choose to remain silent," followed by silence. You have the right to ask if you're being detained or if you're free to go.

It's okay to let yourself change. You don't have to hate abortion just because you always have. There's space for you here.

Did you know that there's an daily birth control pill that doesn't require a prescription? It's called OPill!

Minors can get an abortion in Ohio, either through parent/guardian consent or a legal process called judicial bypass. Learn more & get help at www.abortionfundofohio.org/jb

AFO is thrilled to be a 2026 Women's Fund of Central Ohio grant partner! We're incredibly grateful for their continued investment in bold, visionary leadership for Central Ohio's women & girls. Thank you, thank you, thank you! https://womensfundcentralohio.org/announcing-our-2026-grant-partners/

Following the killing of Renee Nicole Good, we are immediately reminded of 21 year-old Ta’Kiya Young. Ta’Kiya, a young Black mother, was pregnant when an Ohio police officer shot & killed her through her windshield in 2023. It has never been about self-defense or immigration.

An anti-abortion prosecutor wrongfully charged a woman with fetal homicide after an alleged medication abortion. State dropped the charge, but only after news outlets published her mugshot and claimed she faced life in prison. Beyond time to change how abortion arrests are covered @autonomynews.co

Abolishing ICE is a reproductive justice issue

After the woman told a healthcare clinic she took abortion pills to end an unwanted pregnancy, authorities charged her under a law that explicitly exempts pregnant people. www.jezebel.com/after-allege...

The lung float test has sent dozens of women to prison, sometimes for decades. This position from the National Association of Medical Examiners is a major step forward in defending women charged with crimes connected to their pregnancy loss. www.propublica.org/article/lung...

Where there should be light on this violence from the state, we instead get talking points directly from police PR. Refusing to question absurd charges and laws only confuses the public and demonizes individuals. Demand better & support repro journalists like Autonomy News or Rewire News Group

We have sadly come to expect this kind of pregnancy criminalization coverage from local news and tabloids like The New York Post, but @the-independent.com? Enraging.

Dr Janell Green Smith, CNM a respected midwife, scholar, and advocate has died from complications related to childbirth. She leaves a husband and newborn that need the support of her village. If you are able, please consider joing me in donating. www.gofundme.com/f/dr-janell-...

Looking for tangible ways to support abortion access in your community? We've got several opportunities, including a storytelling cohort that closes TONIGHT! https://linktr.ee/abortionfundofOH

Abortion pills are a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy or manage a miscarriage. Grifters who spread inaccurate and misleading info about them only benefit from us being confused or scared.

The road to abortion care is not as smooth sailing as it should be, but abortion funds can help! Support Ohio's statewide abortion fund here: https://secure.everyaction.com/-ModKl7fBkibpmxOryElDw2

EVERYONE deserves to have the dignity and autonomy to make decisions about their body, family, and future. Full stop.

Money is one of the biggest barriers to accessing abortion. Medicaid doesn't cover abortion care, and private insurance isn't required to either. That's where abortion funds come in—we fundraise so no one is forced to remain pregnant.
