This story illustrates the lengths anti-abortion extremists will go to undermine medication abortion access. For example, exploiting rare instances of forced abortion cases to advocate against telehealth medication abortion access. @autonomynews.co @susanrinkunas.com bit.ly/4ecZ8TU

In 1996, nearly 656,000 teen girls gave birth in Brazil. By 2025, about 276,000 did. But this public health victory has not come without controversy.

When 3 in 10 women and 1 in 10 men on average experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime (IPV) it is critical we inform people about how to identify healthy relationships versus abusive relationships.

The shift in the Title X program towards "natural family planning" & away from hormonal birth control could have serious implications. While hormonal birth control is backed by decades of research for its safety & effectiveness, cycle tracking is much less reliable. bit.ly/4dzztWt

A new study reveals states banning abortion are less likely to offer the highest standard of care for miscarriage patients. Miscarriage care is abortion care. Banning abortion only inflicts unnecessary harm and undue burdens on pregnant people. @shefali.bsky.social @19thnews.org bit.ly/4tKOZna

Justice Thomas and Alito dissented fiercely against the SCOTUS decision allowing Mifepristone by mail amid ongoing lawsuits. Alito was furious that pro-abortion states outmaneuvered his attempt to overturn Roe and restrict access with shield laws. @mjsdc.bsky.social @slate.com bit.ly/4nylBPA

🚨 BREAKING: Mifepristone is still available by mail, for now🚨 SCOTUS t has decided that the fifth circuit ruling will remain paused as the lawsuit continues. This means Mife can be dispensed via mail in WA and across the country, for now.

A global science consortium announced yesterday that PCOS will now be referred to as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This change aims to provide a more accurate representation of the condition, reduce stigma, and enhance research efforts. bit.ly/4tznwEK @clairehcameron.bsky.social

Happy Mother's Day to all who mother! Sending our love and support to mothers, grandmothers, caretakers, chosen families, queer mamas, trans parents, moms who have lost their children, and children to have lost their mothers. 60% of those who have abortions are already parents.

Telemedicine Mifepristone access is still available for now. Telemedicine abortion access has been a critical lifeline for abortion seekers who live in states with abortion bans and many living in rural areas. We will be watching this case closely. @npr.org @selenasd.com bit.ly/4uV8j2b

important PSA: Louisiana's response to the Supreme Court in this case is due by 5pm ET today, 5/7. The justices could rule any time after that—yes, even before the stay expires. www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

What's also interesting is who did NOT put their name on this abortion-related brief ahead of the midterms: *Sen. John Husted (Ohio) *Sen. Dan Sullivan (Alaska) *Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) she claims to be pro choice but isn't actually

Proposed changes to Title X could dangerously shift the focus away from vital services like STI testing, birth control, and cervical cancer screenings. This could devastate millions especially for low-income, the uninsured, and young people. @salon.com bit.ly/4n3hgnc

An anti-abortion PAC, Idaho Chooses Life, sent misleading texts to thousands who signed a petition in favor of a ballot initiative to overturn Idaho’s abortion ban. @idahostatesman.com bit.ly/3Raj8hW

The Hite Report, written by German sex educator Shere Hite in the 1970s, exposed a stark truth: most women in cis heterosexual relationships aren't sexually satisfied and 70% of women surveyed reported being unable to orgasm from penetrative sex. bit.ly/4vJpFAh @rosavcampbell.bsky.social

Social media algorithms favor misinformation and anti-contraception propaganda because they generate more engagement. We desperately need more positive narratives about birth control, which empowers many to control their reproductive lives. bit.ly/4sQKS8J

“It’s not so much about people having anxiety because they cannot have an abortion….It’s way bigger than that. People saying, ‘I want to be sterilized because I don’t want to be at risk of getting pregnant and having a bad outcome." - Camila Arnaudo, MD @medscape.com bit.ly/3P0QLlH

"Like us, and for clinic staff in this room and across the country and world, compassion is our guiding light, and advocacy is our superpower." - Dallys Oldja Rincon, Patient Services Coordinator
