The faulty lung float test has been used to put dozens of pregnant people in prison, including a woman being sentenced to 30 years. This position from the National Association of Medical Examiners is a critical step in the fight against pregnancy criminalization.  www.propublica.org/article/lung...

Political agendas have no place in abortion clinics. Political agendas have no place at your OB-GYN’s office. Political agendas have no place in the emergency room.

Despite a vote in 2023 that codified reproductive freedom in Ohio’s state constitution, Republicans are still trying everything they can to make abortion inaccessible. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ohio...

Ciji Graham’s death was preventable. Ciji Graham should never have been denied life-saving care because of a pregnancy. Ciji Graham should still be alive today. 💔🌙

Last month, Trump signed an executive order aimed at blocking states from enforcing their own AI regulations. States must continue pushing back and pass legislation that combats online misinformation, police surveillance, and anti-abortion bias that is spread through AI.

ICYMI: Prop. 139 won majority support in every Arizona district, enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution. Instead of adjusting course, GOP lawmakers pushed new abortion restrictions, reporter @adriana-navarro.bsky.social found—with more coming this session: azcir.org?p=35084

They criminalized pregnancy more and more over the past two decades, now every member of the military is blocked from abortion care no matter what. It’d be everyone but that’s who they control completely so it’s where they could start without much media fuss.

Reproductive freedom deserves sunshine, and so do you. 🏒 #heatedrivalry

Law enforcement violence is a reproductive justice issue. ICE is looking to silence anyone who dares to demand human rights. Now is the time to keep showing up and continue fighting for our communities and collective liberation.

A new study by experts in federal health policy and drug regulation at Johns Hopkins University shows Republican's hysteria over mifepristone safety & frenzied accusations against the FDA re mifepristone to be nothing but politically motivated hot air. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/h...

“If we truly care about providing healthcare to rural Mainers, let’s ensure that the organizations who are already doing it well can continue to do their job.” Read the full @bangordailynews.bsky.social op-ed from family medicine physician Emily Hill: www.bangordailynews.com/2026/01/12/o...

ICYMI: The Trump administration put a near-total ban on abortion care and counseling in place at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities nationwide. This means millions of veterans, who put their lives on the line for their country, cannot access abortion care via their VA benefits.

Yesterday, with bipartisan support, the House passed legislation that, if also passed by the Senate and signed into law, would revive the Affordable Care Act enhanced subsidies for three years. Thank you to Dr. Fran for explaining why the Senate must pass an extension of the ACA tax credits.

Each of us deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and how to have a family. Our research shows that parents and children experience far better outcomes when people have wanted pregnancies on their own timelines.

For those who need reminding. 💙🧡

“I just wish my decision about where I end up practicing as an OB-GYN didn’t have to be further complicated by having to consider the law.” msmagazine.com/2026/01/06/t...

Essential pregnancy care and support have become harder for immigrants to obtain due to the Trump administration’s cruel and unjust immigration policies. As a result, pregnant people are experiencing dangerous complications.    NOBODY should ever have to choose between their health and their home.

This part: The women facing pregnancy-related criminal charges aren't, for example, active shooters. So why the need to publish their names and mugshots? Is it to shame and harm them long-term? And their lives are worth far more than clickbait.

Congratulations to Wellspring Health Access, Chelsea’s Fund, and the four women who argued against two of Wyoming’s abortion bans and WON 👏 apnews.com/article/abor...

As abortion bans create an increasing amount of maternal health care deserts – midwives, doulas, and birth centers are stepping up to provide reproductive health care. In fact, midwifery-led care can reduce maternal mortality and birth complications by up to 80 percent.

Iowa doesn’t have enough OB-GYNs. The state’s abortion ban might be making it worse. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2026/1/7/2361705/-Iowa-doesn-t-have-enough-OB-GYNs-The-state-s-abortion-ban-might-be-making-it-worse?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. Janell Green Smith. She was a devoted Black midwife and advocate who committed her life to advancing equity in maternal health. 1/3

Did you know that nearly 19 million rural Americans live in states with the most restricted access to abortion?

Doula care is and has always been a vital form of culturally-centered care that is rooted in Black liberation!

Climate justice and reproductive justice go hand in hand. States can provide sexual and reproductive health supplies, like contraception, in emergency checklist recommendations.

Even in the face of attacks, we saw big wins for reproductive freedom in 2025. Here's to capitalizing on that momentum and paving the way to more wins in 2026 🥂

Thank you, Oregon health officials! Contraceptives should be readily available to every individual that needs them, regardless of how they get their health insurance.

It’s time to get into gear for the New Year. If you want to stop anti-abortion forces in 2026, give NOW to NIRH’s Fighting Forward Fund and have your donation DOUBLED. With your help, NIRH will be prepared for the fight ahead 🧡 Link below. nirhealth.org/donate

Your contraception should be chosen by YOU and your doctor, not a stranger spreading misinformation on the internet.

This holiday season, NIRH is grateful for our community of advocates and supporters who fight alongside us. We couldn’t do this critical work without each and every one of you 🧡

Just five months after the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down an 1849 abortion ban, abortion access is once again under attack in the state Legislature.

NIRH is committed to providing fact-based information you can trust. Follow us to ensure you never miss the latest updates on reproductive freedom.

As a direct result of the Trump administration’s cruel immigration policies, ICE is endangering the health & safety of pregnant people in detention. Pregnant people of all immigration statuses deserve to live in a safe and healthy environment. buff.ly/fEy0VPj

Our partner @amplifyga.bsky.social is giving a RJ 101 lesson centering a framework that is rooted in Black liberation and created around the belief that EVERYONE has the right to bodily autonomy, to have or not have children, and to parent their children in safe and healthy communities.

Pregnant people deserve the support & care they need to have a safer & healthy birth. NY state must expand their New York State Doula Pilot program's eligibility to cover uninsured & insured pregnant people so that financial status is no longer a barrier. www.syracuse.com/opinion/2025...

Protecting your digital self is as important as protecting your physical self, especially as we see reproductive surveillance and criminalization increase. Hopp to it! #Zootopia

If @time.com is honoring the architects of #AI, then we’re honoring those who are raising awareness against the harm AI is causing in the reproductive health space.

Abortion is health care, and nobody should have to flee their home state to access that care.   wisconsinindependent.com/features/wis...

Every person deserves access to accurate medical information. Mayday Health’s public information campaign is a great way to spread accurate medical information. Medication abortion is safe, effective, and must be accessible to all.

NIRH is getting ready for 2026. 🤩 Through our Fighting Forward Fund, NIRH will be able to advance policies nationwide that support bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom. And if you donate TODAY, you will get these TWO stickers. 🧡 Give now at the link! buff.ly/NRVy3kF

The Alamo Women’s Clinic in Carbondale, Illinois has been a much-needed sanctuary within driving distance of 10 states with abortion bans. Independent clinics are critical for reproductive health care and need our support more than ever. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/07/u...

No one should EVER be punished by the legal system because of their pregnancy. That’s why NIRH is proud of our Repro Health and Data Privacy Partner @amplifyga.bsky.social for this resource on how to take action to dismantle the systems that turn pregnancy into a crime. www.stoppolicingpregnancy.org
