As Chair of the Congressional Pro Choice Caucus' Providers & Clinics Task Force, I’m proud to be a part of @EnergyCommerce’s 1st hearing in 20+ years to ensure access to abortion care, free from political interference.
We must pass #WHPA and #ActForWomen. We will not go back.
FACT: the Women’s Health Protection Act will ensure women can access abortion care without unnecessary political interference. Since 2016, states have passed over 170 unconstitutional laws to restrict the right to abortion care. It’s time to pass #WHPA and #ActForWomen.
Abortion is health care and health care is a human right. I believe ALL women should have access to safe, affordable abortion services free from the interference of anti-choice politicians. That’s why I #ActForWomen and am an original cosponsor of #WHPA.
Once someone decides to have an abortion, it should be safe, affordable, and free from punishment, stigma, and judgment. Abortion access shouldn’t depend on your zip code, race, or socioeconomic status. We must pass #WHPA to ensure women’s access to abortion care. #ActForWomen

According to the pro-choice Guttmacher Institute, ELEVEN percent of abortions in the United States take place after the first trimester, and national estimates suggest that D&E accounts for roughly 95% of these procedures. A second trimester D&E #abortion 1/4
is a blind procedure during which the fetus and other tissue are extracted piece by piece. The toughest part of a D&E abortion is extracting the head, which is about the size of a plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. 2/4
During the #SecondTrimester, 15 to 23 weeks after the woman's last menstrual period, abortions are typically performed over a two-day period. At week sixteen LMP, the baby’s fingerprints are visible, and the child’s organs are visible through his or her thin skin. The child’s 3/4

Today is the 32nd Anniversary of the release of #DirtyDancing-- many people's 1st exposure to #reprojustice. Come, let's talk about it.
For many, #DirtyDancing is their first exposure to reproductive justice. What is #reprojustice? @SisterSong_WOC explains sistersong.net/reproductive-j…
@SisterSong_WOC In case you didn't know, the entire plot of #DirtyDancing is based on what happens when Penny can't access safe, legal abortion care and what it was like pre #RoeVWade.

THREAD: The Trump Admin continues to tear into #reprorights & #reprojustice on all fronts, domestic & international. Today's news about the further expanded #GlobalGagRule aka #MexicoCityPolicy is the latest affront. More from @transscribe for @Rewire_News rewire.news/article/2019/0…
Yesterday, @transscribe published another @Rewire_News piece abt the wildly unsettling news that Trump Admin Officials attended a 'Make Families Great Again' event with Hungarian PM Orban. 2/ rewire.news/article/2019/0…
As @IntlWomen's Shannon Kowalski told @transscribe “The Making Families Great Again conference demonstrates insidious connections btwn authoritarian gov'ts, far-right nationalists & anti-choice mvmnts who conspire to strip women & gender diverse ppl of their rights.” 3/

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/
