Sex work 🤝 Reproductive Justice For true reproductive freedom to exist, all sex workers must have equitable access to affordable health care, freedom from violence, and the right to make decision about their own body without fear or coercion. #SexWorkersRightsDay

"Midwifery includes the menopausal experience…I listen, gather precious information, hear their concerns, hopes and expectations, so that I can offer care that’s specifically designed for their journey." - Racha Tahani Lawler, a fourth-generation midwife msmagazine.com/2026/02/10/m...

Start the conversation, even with your friends. You don’t have to be an expert. Just show up. 🫶

Several GOP towns and states across the country have passed laws allowing residents to sue their neighbors for getting an abortion.

Congratulations Wisconsin on this loooong overdue victory 🥳 New moms will now get extended postpartum Medicaid coverage, a step that 48 other states have already taken. The legislation now goes to Gov. Tony Evers, who is expected to sign it into law. pbswisconsin.org/news-item/wi...

🧵 1/6 ICYMI, here is some of the progress that was made in state legislative sessions last month! From contraception to EMTALA to abortion access, reproductive rights and justice advocates are working hard to expand care across the country.

Black midwives have long been the heart of maternal care, guiding generations of birthing people with ancestral wisdom and sacred, hands-on skill. 🎥 via @yourchoicesclinics.bsky.social and Dr. Akaninyene Ruffin

The Trump Administration's cruel policies aim to erase 1.6 million transgender Americans from public life. Republicans are stripping Title IX protections from students and denying gender-affirming care in federal facilities. We need to call it what it is: discrimination. @civilrightsorg.bsky.social

Dr. Oz thinks replacing OB-GYN's with robots is cool. We think it's a sign of policy failure.

"When this assistance relies on inconsistent large-scale private donations, as well as the almost-supernatural work of abortion providers and supporters, it’s no wonder that some people are slipping through the cracks, even while abortion numbers are rising."  msmagazine.com/2026/01/21/a...

At least 101 studies in 26 countries over three decades have found that medication abortions are very safe. Pass it on.

This grant will help fill a huge need by supporting the opening of the first nonprofit birthing center in South Florida. Founded by Southern Birth Justice Network and Magnolia Birth House, this center will be a beacon in an area where many maternity units have closed. www.wlrn.org/health/2026-...

The Turnaway Study followed thousands of women seeking abortion care, and one thing stood out to researchers–these women understood the circumstances of their lives and why an abortion was the right decision for them.

Reproductive justice requires supporting the full spectrum of abortion experiences and allowing people to have their abortions in whatever way is most comfortable for them. reproaction.org/self-managed...

Patients in Minnesota are being forced to postpone their appointments for fear of being targeted by ICE. ICE's ongoing presence means Minnesotans are in danger of violent extremism and their health care needs going unmet, which can lead to severe consequences.

The surveillance tools that ICE is using to track people are an affront to data privacy and bodily autonomy. As ICE continues to attack communities, educate yourself on these technological weapons below ⬇️ www.ms.now/ali-velshi/i...

Everyone should be able to access reproductive health care, regardless of their race, ethnicity, income, or immigration status. Yes, everyone.

Your reason for having an abortion is good enough. You know what is best for you and your future.

Philadelphia Midwife Collective is opening Philadelphia's ONLY birth center! They'll serve as a grounding force in the community by restoring humanity, trust, and dignity to the birthing experience. Every person should be able to access a local birth center 🧡 buff.ly/mKTKFEK

This #ValentinesDay, we are full of LOVE for bodily autonomy, access to all forms of reproductive health care, and our wonderful advocate community 💗

“When you wrap love and support around an individual, they thrive. If they have a baby inside them, that baby is going to thrive, too.” - Lisa Sockabasin of Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness, a health org that serves four federally recognized tribes in Maine.  www.pressherald.com/2026/02/01/i...

Reproductive health history was made last week ☀️ Virginians will have the opportunity to vote on the Constitutional Amendment for Reproductive Freedom in November, a critical step towards bodily autonomy for all. Read more about this win below: buff.ly/wgoYUoP

Doctors Say Texas’ Abortion Laws Cost a 37-Year-Old Mother Her Life, After 90 Doctors and Months of Crisis msmagazine.com/2026/02/11/t...

A law set to take effect in early December gives Texans the power to sue anyone involved in mailing abortion pills to the state, from drug companies to doctors.

#GalentinesDay is about the celebration of friendship, and we can't think of a better dynamic duo than mifepristone and misoprostol 🤍🤍 We will never stop fighting for you!

Birth Justice is a vital component of NIRH's work and mission. Meet four of our partners who are working to address barriers and increase access to community-based, culturally reflective doulas and midwives. #birthjustice

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

Black women currently face the highest rates of asthma-related mortality in the nation. The EPA overturning clean air regulations will only make this public health crisis worse.

Midwifery Is for Menopause, Too msmagazine.com/2026/02/10/m...

Abortion is normal. Abortion is safe. Abortion is healthcare. Abortion is a human right. Abortion is a blessing.

Sex educators are self-censoring their language online to avoid content bans on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. What do we lose when content creators rely on ‘algospeak’? @zoecunniffe.bsky.social reports:

The "pro-adoption" #superbowl ad is anti-abortion messaging in disguise 🥸 Anti-abortion extremists, like those who created this commercial, often push adoption as a replacement for abortion care. But it isn’t and never will be able to address ALL the reasons someone has an abortion.

Patients deserve to have abortions on their own terms. Medication abortion is the most common method of abortion in the United States and can be safely administered at home.

Healthcare is a human right, period.

Dearest gentle readers, No matter your preferred method of contraceptive, if you’re the tea someone is having tonight, make sure you’re comfortable and protected! #Bridgerton

Today, a judge ruled #Arizona abortion restrictions as unconstitutional and permanently blocked them! This decision is a step toward ensuring bodily autonomy for all, but there is still a long way to go — including the vital need to remove barriers based on misleading gestational limits.

Fact: Mifepristone has been FDA approved for over 20 years.

In our modern landscape, data privacy is a requirement for bodily autonomy. NIRH's President Christian LoBue joined @jessicavalenti.bsky.social for a chat about how these issues are all connected. Watch the full interview below: buff.ly/eWkt8lN

“As the reliance on telehealth services grows across the U.S. — and that care increasingly crosses state lines – we’re seeing an increase in states taking action to protect patients and providers from law enforcement in states with abortion bans.” www.route-fifty.com/management/2...

Pregnant bodies don't follow legal timelines. Only about 1% of abortions are performed past 21 weeks of gestation, but they’re essential. People often seek out abortions later in pregnancy if they learn of a severe fetal or maternal health issue.

Abortion bans are dangerous, and sometimes deadly. Since the Dobbs decision, dozens of women have come forward to say they were denied medically necessary abortions.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people enter pregnancy with chronic health conditions. In states with bans, many are being forced to carry dangerous pregnancies, b/c doctors are afraid to act until it’s often too late. Health care shouldn’t wait for a crisis.  www.propublica.org/article/high...

🧵The kind of state action we need! In 2024, Arizonians voted to add a fundamental right to abortion in their state constitution. Now, it's up to state legislators to repeal anti-abortion restrictions still on the books. Learn about three critical bills that have been introduced in #Arizona ⬇️

How do you explain ICE raids to children? @setharichardson.bsky.social reports on how Minnesota parents are struggling to protect their kids from the trauma of ICE’s occupation, while teachers face half-empty classrooms as students stay home for fear of being detained.

Did you know that abortion is one of the safest outpatient procedures in the United States? It’s even safer than consuming Tylenol.

Through a series of incremental policy changes, legal rulings and funding restrictions, conservative lawmakers have been quietly chipping away at contraceptive access. buff.ly/V3l6KPA

At 17, with no money or legal options, actress Sally Field had to cross the border to get the abortion she needed. She reminds us that bans don’t stop abortions from happening. They just make getting them safely more complicated. Like she says, we ALL have to stand up and fight.
