Why are we on the road for Roe?

B/c a lot of people don't know that we could lose the basic right to legal abortions in just a few months.

After all: SCOTUS solidified the constitutional right to abortion in the Roe v. Wade case nearly 50yrs ago.🧵 ppact.io/3gxYAL1
Our message is simple: our bodies, our futures, our abortions.

We need to expand access to abortion. And that means we have to start by defending the right to abortion, period. #BansOffOurBodies
Millions of people in 26 states could lose the right to legal abortion if Roe is overturned. Stay tuned the next few weeks to hear from some of the people working fearlessly to get you the health care you deserve ❤️
To kick things off, we started in snowy Ohio, where sexual and reproductive health advocates are fighting a “trigger ban” that could ban all abortions in the state if the Supreme Court dismantles Roe v. Wade this summer. Image
It’s important to know that ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL in Ohio — we have to fight to keep it that way & to expand access. Learn more from the people who know it best:
You can learn more about how to help and the fights ahead by following the incredible Ohio local accounts: @PPAOhio for Twitter, @PPAOhio on Instagram, and (you guessed it) ppaohio on TikTok. You can get email updates by signing up here: p.ppfa.org/366ekD3
Now we’re on to the Hoosier State to shine light on the inaccuracies of #HB1217 — a bill supposedly about “coerced abortion” but that is really just a thinly veiled attempt to limit access to abortion, period. Our friends at @PPAAEast break it down
Don’t live in IN, but still want to get involved? Follow @PPAAEast to spread the word about the incredible organizing they are doing on the ground. Reminder: what happens in states like Indiana affects ALL of us — from forcing patients to travel, to cases that go to SCOTUS. Image

Today, @GovAbbott signed #SB8, a dangerous law that would ban abortion before most people even know they are pregnant.

The majority of Texans support access to safe and legal abortion—but politicians are *still* attacking abortion access.
#SB8’s signing comes two days after the Supreme Court’s announcement that it will consider a Mississippi case challenging a ban on abortion after 15 weeks — putting Roe v. Wade in danger and 25 million people at risk of losing abortion access.
In 2021, legislators obsessed with attacking and undermining abortion access & reproductive freedom introduced more than 500 anti-abortion bills.

We will *never* stop fighting back against this cruel extremism and will do everything we can to ensure access to reproductive care.

🙌GREAT NEWS! The Biden-Harris admin just proposed ending the Title X gag rule! This dangerous policy undermines the only federal program dedicated to providing sexual and reproductive health care to people with low incomes. Breaking: The Biden Admin proposes new rule to rescind the T
Ending this gag rule is HUGE! Why? The gag rule was designed to block access to @PPFA and other providers, creating barriers to reproductive health care, especially for those facing systemic barriers: people in rural areas, and Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities.
The gag rule slashed the Title X network’s patient capacity in half. The harm of this policy was devastating before — now COVID has revealed just how important reproductive health care is tied to our communities’ health and safety.

What's scarier than ghouls, goblins, & 👻? 👀 Unqualified and extremely conservative nominees being confirmed to LIFETIME positions as federal judges. 😱

Their judgeships could have disastrous results for GENERATIONS. 😧 Meet just a handful of them. ⤵️

#Halloween #CourtsMatter
Extreme and biased: Sarah Pitlyk has gone on the record against alternative reproductive options, such as surrogacy and in vitro fertilization. She can’t be trusted to protect our health and rights. #StopPitlyk #CourtsMatter
We need judges who will protect our constitutional rights — not Steven Menashi who has spent his career working against them. Senators must stop his confirmation. #StopMenashi #CourtsMatter

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

“Women for Trump” launched today, and the hypocrisy is stunning.

Since taking office, the Trump admin has systematically taken away our health and rights — policies that hurt all women, including his own supporters.

We have the receipts. Thread ⤵️

The administration has implemented the Title X “gag” rule, making it impossible for millions of patients to get birth control or preventive care from Planned Parenthood through the Title X program. #ProtectX

They’ve repeatedly tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would roll back the significant gains people of color have made in being able to access health care.
