Today, the Trump admin is forcing us out of the Title X program — our nation's program focused on family planning, of which we serve 40% of patients. This is a *direct attack* on Planned Parenthood and on our health and rights, and we will not stand for it. #StandWithPP #ProtectX
We’re working to make sure that all patients can still get the health care they need. Contact your local health center to find out how much a service costs and ask if there are other ways to get your care covered: p.ppfa.org/2KSy5j7
We aren’t throwing in the towel & we won’t give up on our patients. Being forced out of Title X won't stop us from referring for or performing abortions, prescribing birth control, or any of our other services. Our doors are open and we are fighting against the gag rule.
The most important thing: Congress can take action to right this wrong. Make your voice heard to ensure that patients can continue to get the care they need. Stand with Planned Parenthood — we stand with you. Take action: p.ppfa.org/2MqjuOT #ProtectX #StandWithPP

It has been 100 days since Roe v Wade was overturned and we lost the federal constitutional right to abortion.

Today, 17 states have abortion bans in effect.

Here are 17 stories from people in those states on how access to abortion impacted them.
Alabama

(CW: rape, death)
“At age 21, I was in an abusive relationship. We usually had protected sex...not always consensual. I got pregnant and decided to get an abortion. I now have a wonderful career and a beautiful family. Without an abortion, I'd probably be dead" - Ali
Arkansas

"I'm very scared thinking about getting pregnant again, especially living in Arkansas. Because I know that once I get pregnant, I didn’t matter anymore. My physical health, mental emotional, stops becoming a priority," -Brianna

🧵 It’s important to use gender-neutral language when we talk about abortion.
Trans and nonbinary people need and deserve access to sexual & reproductive health care, including abortion.

What does that have to do with language?
Using gender-neutral language when talking about abortion is critical to prevent the erasure of trans and nonbinary people — who already face disproportionate barriers to health care access.

PSA: There is no “AIDS vaccine.” It doesn’t exist. Facts are important, and we’re here to give them to you (and, um, whoever else needs to hear this). Here’s the truth about HIV & AIDS:
HIV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that stays in your body for life. HIV is carried in blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. Condoms can help prevent HIV. So can a medicine called PrEP (more on that later).
HIV is a virus that damages your immune system, making it easier to get sick. Without treatment, your immune system eventually becomes too weak to protect itself, and other illnesses can attack your body. When this happens, it’s known as AIDS.

Defunding and divesting from the police looks different in every city and requires participation from the community, including ours.

Planned Parenthood stands with @Mvmnt4BlkLives and we will be following their lead on the ways we can partner to strengthen Black communities.
We stand with #DefundThePolice because it’s a call to divest from police and invest in Black communities. It prioritizes services that strengthen community-based solutions, education, and health care instead of militarizing police forces.
As health care experts, we know racism is a public health crisis. Our #1 priority is the health & safety of our patients & that doesn't stop once they leave our centers. The treatment of Black people by police is the antithesis of the standards we envision for our bodies & lives.

Idk who needs to hear this but virginity is a made-up social construct, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your hymen.
A virgin is someone who’s never had sex. But “sex” means different things to different people, so “virginity” does too. Many don't care what it means or think it matters. Whatever you believe, the fact is you can’t tell if someone’s had sex by checking their hymen.
The hymen is a thin, fleshy tissue that’s located at the opening of your vagina. Like other parts of our bodies, hymens are a little different for everyone.

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day, a day representing the 23 months Latinas must work to earn the same pay that white men earn in 12 months. #LatinaEqualPay
Low wages force many Latinas to make impossible choices between putting food on the table or paying for health care — a decision no one should have to make. #LatinaEqualPay
With such a disproportionate wage gap, the only way to prevent us from going backwards is for everyone who believes in women’s equality — from equal pay for equal work to accessing basic health care— to stand up and fight back. #LatinaEqualPay
