Science, not politics, should guide medical care. Yet the Trump administration and RFK Jr. are spreading false claims about Tylenol that create fear and confusion for pregnant patients. Know this: The science is settled. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. Thank you for having me @msnbc.com.

Our patients trust us to protect their health and dignity. Political assaults like those from RFK Jr. and the Trump administration only heighten obstetric pain and violence and endanger lives. As physicians, we stand by the evidence: Tylenol is safe. @prh.org

We’ve been hearing that social media platforms are censoring abortion-related content, even when no law requires them to do so. Now, we’ve got the receipts to prove it. www.eff.org/pages/our-s...

‼️THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Congress is one House vote away from passing Trump's “big beautiful bill”—a federal government funding bill that would destroy Medicaid and DEVASTATE reproductive health care across the country, forcing Planned Parenthood's vital health centers to close.

Another attack on our rights, another attempt to dismantle access to essential health care. The Senate's vote to "defund" Planned Parenthood is a backdoor abortion ban with real and devastating consequences.

The Supreme Court just made it easier for states to block people on Medicaid from getting care at Planned Parenthood. Not because the care isn't safe. Not because it isn't needed. But because of who those patients are.

When you’re pregnant and in a medical emergency, you deserve care immediately. But today, the Trump administration made that harder by rescinding EMTALA’s guidance around abortion care. Let’s call this what it is: an abandonment of responsibility to the lives of pregnant people.

A healthy, sustainable planet will result in healthier pregnancies, healthier mamas, healthier babies, and ultimately, healthier families. Reproductive Justice doesn’t just intersect environmental justice - Reproductive Justice *requires* environmental justice.

“What we’re seeing in maternal mortality are race-bound conditions, our policies cannot be race-blind if we’re attempting to address them.” @reprorightsdoc.bsky.social Fate of Black Maternal Health Programs Is Unclear Amid Federal Cuts capitalbnews.org/black-matern... by @ronnielcohen.bsky.social

Join @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social April 11-17 for a week of activism & community-building to amplify the voices of Black Mamas & birthing people. The theme for #BMHW25 is: “Healing Legacies: Strengthening Black Maternal Health Through Collective Action and Advocacy!" 💛 blackmamasmatter.org/BMHW25/

"When I was about four months pregnant, I almost had a miscarriage. My doctor recommended I take occasional breaks at work to rest and to stop doing any heavy lifting. … When the store’s management found out about my restrictions, they pushed me out of my job."

We are losing clinicians—fast. People are leaving states with abortion bans. Medical students & residents choose not to train or practice in places where they can't provide evidence-based care. Dobbs + dangerous abortion bans are exacerbating what was already an urgent, dire shortage of providers.

Medicaid covers doctor visits, prescriptions, care for millions of children, veterans, people with disabilities and working adults. This is a fight for our families. Don’t stay silent—demand Congress votes “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Call NOW: 866-426-2631.

March 10 is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. With increasing attacks on abortion and the people who provide them, we talked to abortion providers across the U.S. about what they want their communities to know and what keeps them motivated to continue the work.

And hey, abortion providers? I see you. I see you holding your head high as you past those clinic harassers and into a long day. I see you moving mountains to get one patient the care they need. I see you worry, are tired, and show up anyway. That’s the work, isn’t it? We bend so we don’t break.

Now, more than ever, we need complex models of care that center community and prioritize those at the margins. Abortion providers have always known and lived deeply in this truth.

For many of us, who have lived under fascist conditions in this very country, whose ancestors have as well, this has always been our reality. Now, it is everyone’s reality. Welcome.

The Trump Administration's reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule will have a devastating effect on refugee women and girls.

The Trump administration has erased thousands of pages of public health data from government websites—information doctors rely on and taxpayers funded.

A visionary Black feminist artist, activist and teacher, Faith Ringgold was never afraid of forging her own path. #BlackHistoryMonth

Remember, the reproductive justice framework includes parents. Affordable childcare gives parents the ability to work and provide for their families. Freezing federal funding and dismantling public programming is an attack on working parents, particularly working mothers.

Loretta Ross’ 'Calling In' is a guide to “building bridges instead of burning them down” and seeking “power with, not power over” in the fight for justice.

⚠️ ALARMING: The Trump administration is scrubbing reproductive health care information from the CDC website. Oh, and by the way, the site also suggests “adoption” when people search for "abortion."

Physicians here. Gender-affirming care is as lifesaving as it is life-affirming. We trust trans youth to know what they need. We love you and we are right behind you.

Best known for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks also fought lifelong against sexual violence and systemic oppression—exposing the deep ties between racism, sexism and misogynoir.

When things seem daunting, I make it a practice to be reminded of the countless advocates and leaders who are working tirelessly to challenge the relentless attacks on reproductive health and bodily autonomy. With the wisdom and support of each other, we will make our way through this.

I want you to know that @prhdocs.bsky.social is committed to championing science and medicine through the upcoming presidential cabinet and beyond.  For @msmagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about what we need to be well and how we prepare for what's next. Read it here: msmagazine.com/2024/12/03/a...

In U.S. v. Skrmetti arguments, Supreme Court justices were preoccupied with the supposed risks of gender-affirming care. But these risks are low, and even if they were higher, @garnethenderson.com argues that part of bodily autonomy is the right to take risks: rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/12/09/a...

Y’all, the attacks on abortion rights and trans rights are completely interconnected. They are from the same playbook with the same goals: to control us and to enforce white supremacy. We have to show up for trans rights with the same energy we do for abortion rights. We must.

As a physician with decades of experience, I urge the Court to side with evidence, science, and the real needs of young people and their families. Trans kids deserve to live, play, and thrive in a world that affirms health care as a human right.
