What horrific and sad news. Argentina’s largest newspaper, Clairín, is reporting Elizabeth, a 24-year-old mother of two, has died from septic shock and an infection after trying to induce a miscarriage with parsley. May she rest in power. #AbortoLegalYa thecut.com/2018/08/one-wo…
Elizabeth's death is a tragedy, yet completely avoidable with access to safe abortion. One week ago, Argentina's Senate voted not to legalize abortion in the country. This is what happens when patients don't have access to health care. #AbortoLegalYa nytimes.com/2018/08/09/wor…
Once again we see why calling those who oppose access to safe abortion “pro-life” is a misnomer. Deaths due to unsafe abortion just about disappear when abortion is legalized. Hopefully that’s not too far in the future for Argentina. #AbortoLegalYa

During the #KavanaughHearings, Kavanaugh referenced his dissent in a case on the contraception coverage requirement by employers for employees' healthcare. In his testimony, he referred to contraception as "abortion-inducing drugs". This is not medically accurate and is a tactic.
Medically and scientifically, pregnancy begins at implantation. Most contraception works by blocking an egg release or blocking or disabling sperm; sometimes they work to block implantation of a fertilized egg. No contraception works after implantation or causes an abortion.
Medication abortions, or surgical abortions, remove an existing pregnancy. Contraception works before a patient is pregnant. Contraception, Plan B, and IUDs do not cause abortions. There is a huge misinformation campaign to conflate how these things work to undermine access.

This is a moving story about unsafe abortion in 1968. The public health threat of overturning Roe v. Wade is great, but women will not suffer the physical harms to the same degree they did in the 1960s thanks to medical advancements. Unfortunately, criminalization is.
Self-managed abortion is rarely coat hangers and back alley abortions these days. In my research in Texas, patients are more likely to give themselves an abortion through medication abortion or herbs: liberalarts.utexas.edu/txpep/_files/p…
My research has found medication abortion is safe for patients to use on their own (journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…) or via telemedicine (reuters.com/article/us-hea…), however taking medication abortion on your own is criminalized in many states. This is dangerous for patients.

Hey @CDCgov, can we work on the framing here? Women, and all who can become pregnant, are not perpetually 'pre-pregnant’. Caring for their health is about more than their ability to become pregnant.
@CDCgov Yes, folate is important for a healthy pregnancy, but it may be irrelevant to those using effective contraception and/or would have an abortion if they became pregnant. There are many who “can” get pregnant, but don’t have sex with cisgender men and aren’t planning pregnancy.
@CDCgov Let’s move away from a strictly heteronormative, cisgender-focused framing of pregnancy, @CDCgov, and recognize that continuing a pregnancy is not always a desired outcome for everyone. We have to listen to our patients and their healthcare needs.

Irish lady behaves in such an abusive, racist way with @airindiain crew for being refused extra drinks. Very decent AI crew behaviour. Arrested on landing. Wonder if she should have been controlled onboard with handcuffs. @JitiBhargava @Mohan_Rngnathan

There are several reasons why so many people have had enough of the Democrats fighting for those entering America illegally.

Here are a few of those reasons:
