For the first time in nearly 50 years, Planned Parenthood is being forced out of the Title X program, meaning people across the country who are already struggling to make ends meet might not be able to access the care they need.

Absolutely devastating.

#IStandWithPP #ProtectX
It’s not just Planned Parenthood. Seven states and the only Title X grantee in Maine have also made clear they CANNOT stay in the program under the gag rule — together with Planned Parenthood, they serve nearly HALF the patients in the program. #ProtectX
Trump’s gag rule is destroying the nation’s decades-old program for affordable birth control and reproductive health care. While the Trump administration may have given up on you, we NEVER will — we’re doing everything we can to make sure patients don’t lose care. #IStandWithPP
Now, we turn our fight to Congress.

Congress has the power to stop the Title X gag rule, and protect birth control and other health care for millions of people. Your senators need to hear from you NOW.

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court stripping away our right to abortion, we’ve watched states across the country move to ban abortion, attack trans youth, ban books, and so much more.

Let's discuss. 🧵
This year alone, anti-abortion lawmakers have introduced more than 360 bills across 47 states that seek to restrict access to abortion in some way.

Bans have eliminated some or all access to abortion in 20 states.
Some of these bans have been presented as a “compromise,” but we call BS.

There are no “reasonable compromises” on someone’s reproductive freedom. Every abortion ban, no matter the level of restriction, is dangerous.

🧵In the coming weeks, a ruling by a federal judge out of Texas could compromise miscarriage care for the entire country.

Let’s talk about it:
Mifepristone, one of two medications taken to end an early pregnancy, could soon be banned nationwide — even in states like California or Michigan where abortion rights are protected in law.

This is the most common way to end a pregnancy.
And mifepristone, taken in combination with misoprostol, is frequently used for the medical management of miscarriage.

The impacts of this case could go far beyond abortion care. Anti-abortion lawmakers know exactly what they’re doing.

Abortion is health care and we’re proud to have allies in the US Senate with us in the fight for reproductive rights.
"I’m sad, I’m frustrated, and I’m angry. But I’m also determined.” Dr. Floyd of @PPMWDC on her experience as an abortion provider during this fight.

Providers like Dr. Floyd keep us going & we’re determined to fight so they can give care without interference from politicians.
“I would not physically exist if not for timely and accessible miscarriage care. My abortion motivated me to guarantee the same empowerment in health care for others.”

– Abortion storyteller Kelley

‘Tis the season for family chats, dinners… and discussions about abortion. While it’s not always an easy convo, it’s an important one. But how DO you talk about abortion? The key: Connect on a personal level. 🧵
How ppl feel about abortion is based on their values + experiences with pregnancy, parenting, and planning their futures. Deeply personal stuff. Find common ground and speak about your own values + what keeps you in the fight.
Reinforce the shared belief that everybody’s lives and circumstances are unique and they are the best ones to make their own medical decisions – not politicians.

Ground the convo by focusing on who should have power over our bodies.

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.

📈 The #TurnawayStudy found that women who were denied an abortion & forced to carry a pregnancy have 4x greater odds of living below the Federal Poverty Level.

Years later, these women were more likely to struggle covering BASIC LIVING EXPENSES.

♈ As the first sign, Aries are always prepared. They request their mail-in ballot early, and send it back with weeks to spare.
♉ Taureans enjoy taking things a little slower. They’re ready to vote early in person, finding peace in the scenery as they wait in line.
