One thing looks different this open enrollment season: health care premiums have skyrocketed. Affordable Care Act tax credits that lower costs for millions are in limbo while Republican leadership in Congress refuses to continue them. Everyone deserves access to health care, not a #HealthcareHeist.

What are the weirdest myths about masturbation you were told growing up?

If lawmakers won't fight for our basic human rights, maybe etsy witches will 🔮🪄

Your neighbor’s contraception? Not your business. Your coworker’s pregnancy? Not your business. A stranger’s abortion? Definitely not your business. Everyone deserves the right to make their own decisions about their body, health, and future without judgment.

The most common symptom of STIs is having no symptoms at all. Anybody who has sex can get STIs, and some can be spread even if there’s only skin-on-skin action between genitals without passing fluids. Testing is the only way to know for sure if someone has an STI.

The Trump admin is using the shutdown to make it harder for people to get reproductive health care. They are working to fire the staff that oversees the Title X program, which helps provide affordable birth control, cancer screenings, and other reproductive health care across the country.

Abortion rights are not only crucial to our physical health, but also key to our mental well-being. No one should have to live in fear and worry over not having control over their own bodies. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let's advocate for the right to abortion care.

Consent can sound like many things but consent is always: 🤗 Freely given 🔄 Reversible 💡 Informed 🎉 Enthusiastic 📍 Specific

Abortion care is health care. Health care includes abortion care. 🎨: @liberaljane.bsky.social

Learning about pregnancy in sex education should be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and include different experiences like IVF and surrogacy. Here’s what that can look like for elementary, middle, and high school.

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we celebrate the role that birth control plays around the world in giving people control over their bodies and futures. We need policymakers to take action to make birth control methods more accessible and affordable for all in the US and around the world. 💙

Today, the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in a pre-trial appeal about the meritless False Claims Act case. This lawsuit is part of the effort to shut down Planned Parenthood and deny patients care. The fight continues.

Planned Parenthood health centers are proud to provide high-quality, affordable health care to over 2M patients every year. No matter what the future holds, we’ll work to make sure you have access to the resources, care, and education you need to make your own health decisions — across the country.

"The attacks on our rights aren’t slowing down — but Planned Parenthood’s foot is on the gas toward freedom." - @alexismjpp.bsky.social

This #LatinxHeritageMonth and always, Planned Parenthood is dedicated to serving Latinx communities. We’re committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care to all our patients, regardless of language or immigration status.

A federal court allowed the “defund” provision targeting Planned Parenthood health centers to take effect. What does this mean? Patients cannot use Medicaid to pay for their care at Planned Parenthood health centers.

🎶 a little respect for people's health care decisions can get you very, very far 🎶 #ProtectTheDolls

Thank you @chu.house.gov and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social 💙 Planned Parenthood health centers remain committed to providing essential health care to their patients - and we're not backing down.

✅ Mifepristone has been around and researched for nearly 40 years ✅ It has been safely used for 25 years by over 7.5 million people for abortion and miscarriage care ✅ The World Health Organization classifies mifepristone as one of the “core essential medications” for basic health care systems

Thank you to our friends at Families USA for amplifying the irreplaceable place Planned Parenthood health centers have in communities nationwide. With over 1.1 million patients at risk of losing access to cancer screenings, birth control, prenatal services, and more — solidarity is so important ❤️

The Trump administration just effectively banned abortion care for veterans — in all cases except life endangerment. They have continued attacking access to reproductive care for service members, veterans, and their families. Everyone should have the freedom to get the abortion care they need.

Update: WE WON! A federal judge has fully blocked the “defunding” provision targeting care at Planned Parenthood health centers. This means that while this case continues, so does your access to care.

Thank you 💙

Abortion is health care. It’s common, safe, and it’s your right. We will never stop fighting for you to get the care you need and deserve.

Planned Parenthood health centers provide essential services, including cancer screenings, birth control, STI testing and treatments, HPV vaccines, abortion care, and more. Planned Parenthood health centers SAVE lives. Without them, over 1M patients could lose access to health care.

From cancer screenings to birth control, abortion, gender-affirming care, or when and where you get care – your health care decisions should be yours. Not the government’s. Not lawmakers’. Just you and your health care providers.

We’ve faced attacks like this before. While the Trump Administration and Congress try to shut down Planned Parenthood, care continues. We’ll do everything we can to show up for patients and the communities Planned Parenthood health centers serve — no matter what.

The Senate just voted to take away your health care and “defund” Planned Parenthood. It's a political attack that could shut down nearly 200 health centers and strip abortion access for everyone, everywhere. Make no mistake, Planned Parenthood will never stop fighting to protect access to care.

Make no mistake: When anti-abortion rights lawmakers target Planned Parenthood, they are trying to pass a backdoor abortion ban. But both Planned Parenthood and abortion rights are more popular than any political party or elected official. Show #ImForPP → p.ppfa.org/together

Let’s get one thing straight: Planned Parenthood isn’t unpopular and neither is the care that health centers across the country provide. No matter what some lawmakers say, nearly two-thirds of Americans support Planned Parenthood — not this administration's attacks on affordable care.

“Care. No matter what,” is our promise. Even as lawmakers try to shut us down, Planned Parenthood will always show up for you — no matter your zip code, insurance, or immigration status. We won’t back down and health centers won’t stop providing care. Your health and rights are worth fighting for.

People experiencing medical emergencies should not have to worry about whether or not the life-saving health care they need is legal or not.

There are a few ways people get abortion pills, including for self-managing their abortion. Self-managed abortion can be life-saving and empowering. There can also be legal risks. Learn more: ReproLegalHelpline.org The Miscarriage + Abortion hotline has clinicians who can support: 1-833-246-2632

Planned Parenthood health centers provide care to over 2M patients per year. “Defunding” Planned Parenthood would shut down health centers and make it harder for patients to get: 🚨Cancer screenings 🚨Birth control 🚨Abortion 🚨STI testing and treatment 👉 and so much more. 🎨: @liberaljane.bsky.social

Lawmakers are focused on the wrong thing: At a time when Americans need health care, they're bent on meddling in our personal lives, trying to control our bodies, and attacking abortion access.

🚨The overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood health centers at risk of closure are in abortion access states. “Defunding” Planned Parenthood could shut down 1 in 3 health centers — taking away health care from 1M+ patients. We need you in this fight. Make your voices heard→ p.ppfa.org/together

Early this morning, the U.S. House passed a budget bill with language to “defund” Planned Parenthood. This would be devastating – nearly 200 health centers could close, and more than 1.1M patients could lose access to care. We will never stop fighting for all people's access to health care.

Republicans in Congress are out to “defund” Planned Parenthood. They're targeting PP health centers — but they're punishing millions of patients who need essential services like birth control, STI testing, and more in the process. Add your name to say #ImForPP → p.ppfa.org/together

No one should face criminal charges for seeking information or health care. But pregnant people are being targeted - no matter the birth outcome. Your search history isn't a crime. Your health decisions aren't either. Pregnant people deserve government protection, not punishment.

It’s not a luxury. It’s not up for debate. It’s essential – for our bodies, our choices, and our futures.

This morning, the House Energy & Commerce Committee is voting to “defund” Planned Parenthood @ppfa.org — our largest provider of reproductive health care like cancer screenings & STI tests. It won’t save a dime. It will hurt millions of patients and increase the deficit.

When we say, “care no matter what,” we mean it. Every day, at nearly 600 Planned Parenthood health centers across the country, clinicians and providers provide the sexual and reproductive health care that patients and communities rely on. Join us in telling Congress #ImForPP → p.ppfa.org/support-pp

Your rights shouldn’t vary from state to state. But if you’re pregnant, they do. The freedom to make decisions about your own body is a basic human right — that deserves government protection, not government interference.

We must call out when organizations and outlets like Fox News spread misinformation and propaganda about what gender-affirming care *actually* is and looks like. Allow us to set the record straight ⬇️

🗣️ Birth control is health care. 🗣️ Abortion care is health care. 🫵 You deserve access to both.
