For many patients, abortion is a lifesaving procedure.
Sometimes that’s because an abortion makes it possible for the patient to survive a medically dangerous pregnancy. Other times, getting an abortion can help patients successfully escape domestic violence.

One conversation will not change another person’s mind, but it can broaden their perspective.
Try not to go into a conversation with the primary goal of changing the other person’s mind. If they sense you are trying to persuade them, they will become defensive and shut down.

Try to approach the topic calmly, and if you’re nervous about it, say so. People are going to be more open and vulnerable when you admit that you are.
Your reproductive freedom = your ability to pay your bills.
When you’re DENIED the freedom to access abortion or birth control, you are denied the freedom to decide your own future — and the financial consequences can be devastating. ⬇️

💰 When making the decision to carry a pregnancy and to parent, you consider the added expenses (formula, child care, clothes, etc).
When that choice is taken away from you, it can jeopardize your ability to make ends meet.

We’re a research program at @UCSF that studies reproductive health, rights, and access.
We work hard to uncover the data so that policies can be research-driven.

Abortion is a critical part of healthcare that allows families and communities to thrive.
Many people seek out abortion care because they aren’t ready to start families or because they want to focus on providing for the children they already have.

“We don’t have to imagine what happens when people are denied abortion,” shared @Dianagfoster, who directed the #TurnawayStudy.

What happens when someone wants an abortion, but gets denied care?

Abortion has no long-term health effects whatsoever. All of these myths about increases in risk for depression, breast cancer, infertility, etc. are exactly that—myths. Nothing about abortion is dangerous. It has a lower complication rate than wisdom teeth removal or colonoscopy.
