A recent study highlights a surge in young people using telehealth for medication abortion, surpassing adults. Over 7 million teens reside in states with abortion bans, facing complex parental involvement laws. @theconversation.com @lauralindberg.bsky.social @danamartha.bsky.social bit.ly/47ko2hU

Washington State is one of the 13 states under investigation by the Trump administration for providing health insurance coverage for abortion. bit.ly/4d4nYX6 @apnews.com

We’ll march through snowstorms solo like baby Kermit here, if we must, all to shatter abortion stigmas, bust birth control myths, and and support the rights and health of ALL women including trans women and gender diverse folks of every shape and size.

Star are just like us! This list of 50+ celebrities who openly discuss their abortion experiences is inspiring! Their courage challenges abortion stigma. Approximately 1 in 4 women between 15-45 will have an abortion in their lifetime. @people.com bit.ly/47Jlaep

“If they can violate patient privacy protections for specific types of health care, that doesn't affect just trans people. That affects everyone... ” - QueerDoc founder Dr. Beal bit.ly/4biGtpx @autonomynews.co @garnethenderson.com

Love these words from Erin Grant, co-ED of the @abortioncare.bksy.social. Indie clinics like ours are at the forefront of ensuring abortion access. ACN plays a crucial role in helping us foster community and enhance the abortion care network across the country. @amnesty.org bit.ly/3PNZfwr

🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ We're proud advocates of trans rights & access to trans-inclusive reproductive health care. By collaborating with LGBTQ nonprofits, trans-led orgs, and local leaders, we strive to ensure that the LGBTQ community in WA continues to receive caring & inclusive healthcare. #LGBTQHealthAwarenessWeek

What's luck got to do with it? Not much! We can help with that. Call us at 800-572-4223 to discuss your birth control options and see which one is a good fit for you.

"Ultimately, we feel like we made the right choice in moving to Washington.. It shouldn't matter what ZIP code you live in, right? But here we are." - An abortion patient from Idaho who had to get care in Washington when her fetus had fatal anomalies. @19thnews.org @shefali.bsky.social

Abstinence-only sex ed leaves young people unprepared. It hits BIPOC and queer communities hardest, highlighting health inequities, stigma, and access gaps to culturally competent care. Comprehensive LGBTQ-inclusive sex ed is crucial for better public health. @nickfulton.bsky.social bit.ly/4lxvKLl

Gen Z men are twice as likely as Baby Boomers to cling to outdated gender roles, with a third believing men should have the final say and 31% thinking women must obey their husbands. @theguardian.com

Thank you so much @prochoicewa.bsky.social for dropping off some plants for us in honor of Abortion Provider Appreciation Day! We're humbled by the love and support we get from our local allies and community. Thank you all for the love and support each and every day.

In 1993, Dr. David Gunn’s life was taken at the hands of an anti-abortion extremist. Three years later, to commemorate his legacy #AbortionProviderAppreciationDay was formed.

“Small moments of relief matter. I’m proud to be part of a team that works creatively and persistently to remove financial barriers – whether that means finding additional resources, coordinating support, or simply being a steady, reassuring voice.” - Abby, Financial Office Manager

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! It was wonderful to brave the rain and wind with lovely women and allies in our this morning at the Seattle #WomensMarch. Thank you all to the women past, current, and future who have been fearlessly advocating for our freedoms in the face of adversity.

“I ensure patient safety by keeping our instruments sterilized. Another part of my job is providing those who seek abortion care for medical reasons with memorial tokens. It’s important to me that our patients feel comfortable, seen, heard, and free of judgment. It’s their body, their choice.”

“Being a friendly face during a confusing & often overwhelming time allows me to be a safe space for our patients. In my role, I help demystify abortion & reproductive healthcare & empower our patients to ask questions and advocate for themselves within the clinic and outside our walls." - Dallys

"Diversity is a gift, because we learn from diversity way more than we learn from sameness. We need a word like feminism. It's about our shared humanity." - @gloriasteinem.bsky.social @nytimes.com @tanyamohn.bsky.social bit.ly/4l7W2U4

TW: r*pe, p*dophilia, seggsual violence "Everyone attempts to write their politics on the bodies of these children." - Jonathan White, former official with the children's programs in the Office of Refugee Resettlement bit.ly/407EkXk @melodyschreiber.com @us.theguardian.com

We had an absolutely fantastic time this weekend at the @oasisyouthcenter.bsky.social's Gender Bazaar! It was a delight to connect with queer youth and discuss our LGBTQ-inclusive care and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) services.

Watching #AlsyaLiu's joyful and free performance on the ice was a powerful reminder of what happens when women can define and pursue their dreams on their own terms. Her defiance against control and pressure is inspiring... @abortioneveryday.com @jessicavalenti.bksy.social bit.ly/4aXx3OT

🚨 KS has taken a drastic step backward in trans civil rights, marking one of the most significant erosions in the US. The state is now forcing trans individuals to surrender their licenses if they don't match their "sex at birth," with no grace period offered. bit.ly/4rMa4NO @erininthemorning.com

In a time where threats and demands are rising, this funding is a vital lifeline. It's a powerful testament to advocacy and the steadfast dedication of Washington State leaders to safeguarding abortion access. bit.ly/4siSUY7

No one should face delays in receiving care because of their body size. There must be increased education for providers regarding biases against people with larger bodies. Regardless of weight, everyone deserves timely and effective reproductive healthcare. @19thnews.org bit.ly/4aARqCt

The Washington House and Senate have put forward their supplemental budget proposals, and both draft budgets propose to restore the Abortion Access Project (AAP)! 🎉

No one should live in fear of arrest while experiencing pregnancy loss. Anti-abortion advocates are exploiting the legal system to criminalize pregnancy loss, engaging in a harmful and escalating campaign to control our bodies and our freedom. @autonomynews.co @susanrinkunas.com bit.ly/3MS2PVk

Providing accurate and affirming information about abortion care is an essential part of comprehensive sex ed.

"History tells us that before the ability to significantly intervene medically in pregnancies, about one in every five women died from a pregnancy-related cause." - Dr. Sarah Prager, @uwmedicine.bsky.social & one of our providers @akseshthedaily.bsky.social @thedailyuw.bsky.social

Good news! The European Parliament voted to adopt a resolution with a provision that calls for the full recognition of trans women as women. We love to see this! Trans women are women and if your feminism isn't intersectional then it isn't feminism. @erinthemorning.com bit.ly/46c1JKy

Medically accurate abortion care and evidence-based sex ed are clearly the best options. Yet, many are trapped in districts with abstinence-only education or live in areas that fake clinics prey on with manipulative misinformation.

It's alarming that a long-standing birth control method is facing new barriers. Regulatory measures should facilitate, not obstruct, access to effective contraception. Safeguarding patient safety and access must go hand in hand, not conflict. @autonomynews.co @garnethenderson.com bit.ly/46857Gq

Abortion care IS love. Happy #ValentinesDay! We extend our heart-filled thanks @shoutyourabortion.bsky.social, @thesweetfeminist.bsky.social, and all who crafted Valentines for our staff. We’re grateful for your encouraging words and adorable designs. Thanks for spreading the love!

Created some punny brand name Valentines for birth control and HRT! 😂

Black TGN people have always been at the forefront of change in the US. @erininthemorning.com published an article that lists just a few of the heroes who led the intersectional fight for liberation for black people, trans people, and all of us across the country. #BlackHistoryMonth bit.ly/4tuVJXn

Despite underfunding and limited name recognition, independent clinics like ours deliver nearly all later abortion care in the US. Thanks to @avaslocum.bsky.social for shining a light on the essential role indie clinics play across the nation. @msmagazine.com

Happy #NationalCondomMonth! Planning on some weekend romance? Slip on that glove to keep surprises at bay, both pregnancy and STI-wise!

Good news in Washington: SB 5917, the medication abortion stockpile bill, just passed the Senate! #WALeg

Sending our love and solidarity to all people from historically marginalized communities. Celebrating diversity and fostering resistance are crucial to our collective vision of an inclusive and free future.

Our progress is fueled by the power of our collective imagination! Together, we must continue to envision and work toward a better future where all can access essential reproductive health care including abortion and gender-affirming care access.

A new report from the @ameracadpeds.bsky.social provides suggestions to improve our current failing sex ed system. In summary, young people need to hear from responsible adults in their lives about all aspects of sexuality. #SexED bit.ly/3ZioWXL @psychologytoday.com

NEW: The FDA recently approved the contraceptive implant Nexplanon for use up to five years (instead of three). But it also placed the device under a REMS protocol, a special layer of regulation that could affect access. Many providers did not yet know about the REMS when I contacted them.

Sharing some recent feedback we have gotten from our patients: "The support was above + beyond. Thank you for saving my life."

Another alarming example of the dangers of abortion bans and inadequate sexual health education! In TX, a woman’s abusive ex reported finding evidence of an abortion in the trash, which was actually proven to be a blood clot. @tri-cityherald.com @cprobert.bsky.social bit.ly/4tfXNCi

What's our love language? 💙🤍 - Acts of reproductive health services - Words of confirmed appointments - Quality abortion care

Everyone who stands for immigrant rights, reproductive justice, abortion and gender-affirming care access are award-worthy. Immigrant rights, abortion access, and gender-affirming care are intertwined. Each represents the right of bodily autonomy and the freedom to live authentically and safely.

On 1/26, a message was sent to patients at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital stating that they will discontinue offering gender-affirming medical treatment for individuals under 18, effective after this week. Our hearts are with the trans youth who will be negatively impacted. bit.ly/4qSfxlP

The incredible, @thesweetfeminist.bsky.social wrote an op-ed on Literary Hub. We completely agree -- we are working together to make a better world, we have to use our imagination and creativity to get there, and it takes resilience to remain optimistic. bit.ly/4qQh0cj

We believe it's the perfect moment to reintroduce ourselves after some time! Cedar River Clinics began its journey as the Feminist Women's Health Center in 1979, and for over 47 years, we have proudly offered abortion and reproductive healthcare.

Everyone deserves abortion access. But abortion care, even before Dobbs fell has been chronically underfunded. Recently, we have been hearing from abortion funds that rage donations have dropped significant but more people need abortions than ever. @msmagazine.com @dsc250.bsky.social bit.ly/4k3XK8p

BREAKING: Another of DOJ's invasive trans care subpoenas quashed as to patient records. This one was challenged by patients of Children's National Hospital. Opinion from Judge Julie Rubin (Biden): storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
