LIVE: We are at the @CorteIDH arguing the first-ever case pertaining to sexual violence in schools. Our client Paola was raped by her school doctor and vice-principal & took her life days after her 16th birthday. @ReproRightsLAC #JusticiaPorPaola

@CorteIDH @ReproRightsLAC CW: Rape

When Paola started struggling in school, her vice-principal, who was 50 years older than her, offered to help her with her work under the condition that she have sex with him. After harassing and pressuring her for months, the vice-principal raped Paola repeatedly.
The abuse continued for several months before Paola realized she was pregnant. When the vice-principal learned of the pregnancy, he asked her to get an abortion and sent her to the school doctor, who agreed to perform the procedure under one condition, that she have sex with him.
These events led Paola to take her own life a few days after her 16th birthday by ingesting white phosphorous. School authorities were alerted shortly after she arrived at school, but they did not take the necessary measures to address her condition. She died shortly after.
Ecuador failed to protect Paola from multiple predatory public officials and failed in its duty to guarantee Paola the right to life, personal integrity, education, and a life free from violence and discrimination.

Today, we fight for her and her family. #JusticiaPorPaola Image
@catamartinezc @ReproRightsLAC This is a groundbreaking case and will determine future protections for the sexual and reproductive rights of women and girls in Latin America.

Our attorneys (pictured below with Paola's mother) will not rest until we get justice. #JusticiaPorPaola Image

⚠️With the abortion pill case going before the US Supreme Court today, here are some important reminders about mifepristone, the medication in question.
Mifepristone is extremely safe. ­­­In addition to a 20+ year track record of use in the US, the medication’s safety is documented in more than 100 peer-reviewed articles.
Leading medical and scientific organizations recognize mifepristone as safe and effective including the American Medical Association and the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG). It is also classified as an essential medicine by the World Health Organization.

NEWS OUT OF TEXAS: Today, the Texas Medical Board announced that they are publishing proposed rules to purportedly ‘clarify’ exceptions to the state’s harsh abortion bans. However, these rules fall seriously short of the clarity needed.
“The rules Texas Medical Board proposed today contain more of the same rhetoric we have been hearing for years: that physicians should just read the language of the exception and exercise their reasonable medical judgment.” -Molly Duane, @ReproRights Senior Staff Attorney
Further, these rules create a burdensome documentation system physicians must use when providing an abortion, including documenting whether there was ‘adequate time to transfer the patient’ ‘by any means available’ to a different facility to avoid having to perform an abortion.

🔴LIVE: The @SenateBudget Committee is hosting a hearing on the devastating economic impacts of abortion bans. The committee will hear from @ReproRights' Tennessee plaintiff Allie Phillips and other experts. Tune in now and follow our live coverage: budget.senate.gov/hearings/no-ri…
@SenateBudget "Reproductive rights, it turns out, are intrinsically tied to economic opportunity. Reproductive justice is economic justice. Restricting one restricts the other." -@SenWhitehouse Image
“[The] freedom to decide if and when to have a child affects a women’s life trajectory and her family’s financial security. Women denied an abortion who had to carry a pregnancy to term were 4x more likely to live in poverty." -@SenWhitehouse

BREAKING: Idaho court rejected the state’s attempt to throw out our case brought by women denied abortions. Our case seeking to expand the medical exceptions in Idaho’s abortion bans will proceed despite the state’s attempt to dismiss the case. dropbox.com/scl/fi/3huvsbd…
“We’re grateful the court saw through the State’s callous attempt to ignore the pain and suffering their laws are causing Idahoans. Now the State of Idaho will be forced to answer to these women in a court of law.” -Gail Deady, Senior Staff Attorney at @reprorights
After hearing what our plaintiffs have gone through, the State of Idaho filed paperwork to dismiss them and throw them out of court.

BREAKING: The US Supreme Court says it will hear a case that could eliminate access to mifepristone—one of two drugs used in medication abortion. The case was filed by an anti-abortion group seeking to undo FDA approval of the drug and remove it from the market nationwide.
The case reached SCOTUS after an appellate court partially upheld a district court ruling granting the anti-abortion group's request, which attempted to reinstate restrictions on mifepristone that limit access. The Court will likely hear arguments on the case in spring.
The district court's order limiting mifepristone access is currently blocked and will remain blocked until the Supreme Court rules, likely in June of 2024.

UPDATE: After a week of legal whiplash and threats of prosecution from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, our client Kate Cox has been forced to flee her home state of Texas to get the time-sensitive abortion care needed to protect her health and future fertility.
Kate has been unable to get an abortion in Texas, even though her fetus has a fatal condition and continuing the pregnancy threatens her future fertility. Last week, a state court ruled in Kate's favor, but within hours, TX AG Paxton asked SCOTX to block the order immediately.
The Supreme Court of Texas temporarily blocked the order on Friday and has yet to issue a final ruling on this time-sensitive matter.
