The national teen pregnancy rate has gone down, and Republicans are actually MAD about it?? We shouldn't even have to say it, but teenagers having access to sex education, contraception, and abortion care is a net positive! 📣

"There's so much discussion about the restrictions on medication abortion that are not evidence-based…It's exciting to see science pointing us in another direction, where access could be expanded.” - Dr. Daniel Grossman, Director of @ansirh.bsky.social buff.ly/ZYqMY8q

No pregnant person should be forced to stay in a marriage or have their divorce be made more complicated, bc they are pregnant. There is still work to be done to address this issue, as these kinds of horrifying laws still exist in Arkansas, Texas, and Arizona today. www.jezebel.com/missouri-dec...

Cheryl Doyley’s experience with the judicial system is not a singular experience — judges have ordered pregnant people to have c-sections against their will for decades. Pregnant people deserve to be listened to, believed, and treated with respect and dignity. buff.ly/DmCKHme

"Millions use contraception treatments for serious medical concerns, health reasons, and birth control. Every Virginian should be able to determine their own medical options without the interference of politicians.” - @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social wset.com/news/local/v...

This is how you organize! Congratulations to the students who successfully advocated for their right to care. All universities and colleges should make medication abortion easily accessible for their students 🧡 www.wfmd.com/2026/03/25/u...

Dr. Joia Crear-Perry reminds us that treating people differently based on race and gender is a choice, which means our elected leaders can, and must, choose differently. Follow @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social for new resources, event details, and ways to get involved during #BlackMaternalHealthWeek!

More than 1 in 4 people who have abortions do so through telehealth. It increases access by offering care that reduces travel, costs, and stigma. This ruling in LA may have paused the state's attempt to limit how people can get medication abortion, but the fight is far from over. bit.ly/4cA0Peg

The treatment of pregnant people in ICE detention centers is abhorrent, and a reproductive health crisis. Abolishing ICE is not just about stopping arrests; it’s about dismantling a system that strips humans of their rights and robs them of their bodily autonomy. buff.ly/MbVTgrf

Over 130 civil society organizations have called on Congress to close a data broker loophole that has allowed federal agencies to buy private information and creates a pathway for the supercharge of AI-powered surveillance. www.npr.org/2026/03/25/n...

Insurance plans covering doula services is an important step towards truly comprehensive care. No pregnant or postpartum person should be unable to access the support they want or need simply because they can't afford it. www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

When the data doesn’t back up their arguments, anti-abortion groups turn to misinformation to make their case. That includes self-publishing unsubstantiated data to influence public opinion, and even using that data to justify a national abortion ban.

World Health Day reminder: you cannot have health equity without reproductive healthcare. ❤️‍🔥

Mifepristone is safe and effective, and attacks on this medication are not based on science, but on personal politics. Don't let misinformation stand in the way of care 🧡 Source: Reproductive Freedom For All

"These data indicate major shifts in how people in states with total abortion bans are seeking care, with fewer people traveling out of state and more accessing care via telehealth."

“In all aspects of pregnancy care and loss, the doula is the person who stays with you from the beginning to end no matter what happens, and is able to treat you with kindness and respect...” - Melissa Lopez Sullivan, director of the New Mexico Doula Association elpasomatters.org/2026/03/23/e...

In Alabama, the AG is seeking to require birth centers to meet hospital-level regulations – standards that are not aligned with their model of care and could limit access. Birth centers are now appealing to the Alabama SC to protect their ability to operate. buff.ly/XkFq8In

Conversion therapy is pseudoscience, not real therapy. It has been condemned by every mainstream medical and mental health association. It tears families apart and traumatizes children. It is NOT legitimate mental health care. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

❌ This is a NO SHAME zone ❌ #kerrywashington unapologetically talked about having an abortion and how no one should ever be allowed to make decisions about OTHER PEOPLES bodies. Kerry, we couldn't agree more! 🎥: #callherdaddy

Pregnant and postpartum women are more susceptible to dehydration, heat exhaustion, hypertension, and preterm labor during extreme weather events - making climate change not just an environmental issue, but a reproductive justice one too. www.theinvadingsea.com/2026/03/18/c...

Massachusetts’s shield law, state-level legal protections designed to safeguard abortion and gender-affirming care providers, patients, and helpers from out-of-state law prosecution, has allowed them to play a big part in helping pregnant people nationwide get care. www.wbur.org/news/2026/03...

In 2024, Missouri lawmakers authorized Medicaid to reimburse doula services. Since then, there have been about 625 participants who were able to access doula care during their pregnancy and postpartum. To summarize: when we support doulas, our communities thrive! #WorldDoulaWeek buff.ly/EdK1q4P

Title X has provided sexual & reproductive care, like pap smears, HIV tests, & free contraception, for over 60 years. But because of Trump’s HHS , millions might lose their access to care on March 31. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Vermont is the ONLY state in the Northeast without a freestanding birth center. But this could soon change! Green Mountain Birth Center, which will be run by midwives, is currently securing their site and funding to make care more accessible. vtdigger.org/2026/01/23/m...

The science is abundantly clear: Mifepristone is overwhelmingly safe and effective, whether provided in-clinic, via telehealth, or in a local pharmacy. Any attempts to roll back access have nothing to do with safety. This is about limiting abortion access.

Today is the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act and serves as a reminder that policy decisions shape who gets care and who gets left behind. We must continue to fight to ensure that EVERYONE can access the health care they need, including abortions.

A new study from @pewresearch.org found that the MAJORITY of U.S. adults support abortion access. It’s time for policies to reflect what the people ACTUALLY want 📣

“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

On May 9, Instagram will remove end-to-end encryption from its chats. While Meta claims this is due to “very few people using it,” we see it for what it is. A dangerous step backwards in data privacy. www.ndtvprofit.com/technology/i...

(1/4 ) This latest attack by the Trump Administration is yet another attempt to distract from the real barriers to health care people face every day — particularly cost, which, for too many, remains the greatest barrier to accessing care, including abortion. buff.ly/quBTcZ8

At NIRH, we believe that your health care access should never be determined by where you live, your income, or your insurance status.

For centuries, midwives and doulas have provided reproductive health care in their communities, informed by ancestral expertise and cultural knowledge. NIRH works with our partners towards policy solutions that increase access to midwifery care and improve pregnancy outcomes. 🎥: @reshmasaujani.com

Nothing happens in a vacuum. When states strip away abortion rights, families suffer financially, and access to health care suffers.

Mississippi leads the nation in pregnancy-related gun deaths, in part because of lax gun laws and restrictive abortion laws. This article was originally published by @mississippitoday.org.

"No patient in America should have to go back and forth with their providers…and for damn sure not with no politicians about what medical care they are allowed to have." - Lauren, a combat medic with the national guard. msmagazine.com/2026/03/15/w...

We’ve always known that medication abortion is safe and should be legal. And the MAJORITY of U.S. adults agree! 💗 www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Whenever it's up to the voters, it seems like abortion access is pretty popular!

Reproductive freedom all the time. Disco occasionally. #harrystyles gets it — the only person who should be making decisions about your body is YOU!

Today is #Oscars Sunday! We know who we’re putting on our ballot: our longtime partner, the Feminist Center for Reproductive Liberation. They are featured in a powerful documentary nominated for Best Documentary Short Film, "The Devil Is Busy.” NIRH is cheering them on 🎉

For generations, Black midwives have nurtured their communities, offering care that is rooted in deep cultural connection. This type of support improves health outcomes throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Today and everyday, we celebrate Black midwives! #BlackMidwivesDay buff.ly/H88H23G
