#MyHealthMyData (HB 1155), from @SlatterVandana and @Dhingrama, provides strong protections to consumer health data. It
- requires opt-in consent before companies collect, use, or share data
- prohibits sales of health data
- restricts geofencing around health facilities

Today, on what would be the 50th Anniversary of #RoeVWade, @aijenpoo shared the following statement:
“Everyone should have the opportunity and means to care and make decisions for themselves, their families and futures. 1/8
“Everyone should have the opportunity and means to care and make decisions for themselves, their families and futures. 1/8
No matter what it looks like or the role we play, family is at the heart of what we value most. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn #RoeVWade has taken away one critical way people can manage their lives, health, and wellbeing. 2/8
Forcing someone to carry a pregnancy against their will can have devastating and lasting consequences for them and their family. 3/8
👋🧵Hi we’re @AllAboveAll, and we’re taking over the @WomensMarch account today to talk all things #AbortionJustice!
@AllAboveAll We are a coalition of more than 150 local, state, and national partners and a catalyst for #AbortionJustice. That means we are fighting for a world where abortion care is affordable, available, accessible, and supported for everyone who needs it.
@AllAboveAll At All* Above All, we know that racism, economic insecurity, and immigration status can multiply the already massive barriers to abortion care–and our solutions must incorporate racial, economic, and immigrant justice.
It's been a long and hard week with the leaked SCOTUS draft, which if final, would push abortion care further out of reach. That said, we are continuing to fight for #AbortionJustice for our communities. Here's a 🧵 of some BOLD actions from this past week. 1/12
The Massachusetts House added $500,000 for abortion access & infrastructure in their budget last week! The funds would go to MA's three abortion funds and help people get the abortions they need #mapoli 2/12
Massachusetts Senate President was like, I see that, and I raise you $1.5M. Next week the Senate plans to unveil their budget which includes $2 MILLION for abortion access. LFG! #mapoli 3/12
Okay, listening into the #RHEA the Reproductive Health Equity Act testimony, and listening to folks that haven’t given birth or could have opinions about #reproductivehealth is just always disappointing and unnecessary.
This guy on this panel basically said “why does birth need to constitute a human right”, um, sir, what in the what? LIVING HUMANS don’t have human rights yet.
All this commentary coming to you is really actually inspired by @Justa_Jus ‘s incredible commentary 🤣
Jewish tradition recognizes abortion as essential health care that is not only permitted but in some cases required by our tradition.

"The Torah has granted the physician permission to heal, and it is a religious duty which comes under the rule of saving an endangered life. If he withholds treatment, he is regarded as one who sheds blood.” (Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh De’ah 336:1)

In 1996 I had an “illegal” abortion in Egypt. In 2000 I had a “legal” abortion in the U.S. I use "-" because the State can fuck off with its opinions about what I can and can’t do with my uterus. That control belongs to me. feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…
I was not raped. I was not sick. The pregnancies did not threaten my life. I did not already have children. I just did not want to be pregnant. I did not want to have a child. And so I had two abortions.
I am glad I had my abortions.They gave me the freedom to live the life I have chosen.
Criminalizing abortion doesn't eradicate it nor does it make it rare. It makes it dangerous & often deadly for the poorest & most vulnerable people who can get pregnant feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…

Navigating an already complex and traumatic immigration system here in the US, (im)migrant pregnant folks, women, and families also have to deal with a restrictive reproductive health care system.

“We have to think about the cultural terrain and context that we live under. Celebrating abortion as a liberating personal freedom is alienating in the social and religious context of most immigrant families." @SSFTexas #BansOffOurBodies #AbortionJustice
.@NationalNOW reported that nearly 50% of immigrant & undocumented women experience violence from an intimate partner, 3x times the national average.

🎉BREAKING🥳 President Biden kept his campaign promise and just released a budget without the Hyde Amendment. YOU DID THAT! Our 130+ orgs coalition DID THAT. We love to see #AbortionJustice in action. #BeBoldEndHyde
We know the harm of the Hyde Amendment falls hardest on people of color working to make ends meet. Biden’s #BeBoldEndHyde move prioritizes racial equity and economic security and we are HERE FOR IT 🙌🙌
Now, all 👀 on Congress to keep going for #AbortionJustice and pass federal spending bills without abortion coverage bans, including the Hyde Amendment. #BeBoldEndHyde
One Black person dying during #childbirth is too many. During this #BlackHistoryMonth, and every other month of the year, we’re resolute on the goal of improving access to high-quality health care for Black women.
FACT: When it comes to health care in the U.S., Black pregnant people experience the worst outcomes. The time is now: we must prioritize Black maternal health. So… how do we do it?
Access to health coverage, from birth control to maternity care, is crucial for a lifetime of good health for mother and child. #AbortionJustice
