Happy #Caturday! 🐈‍⬛☀️

Artemis and I are just $237 away from raising $2500 to fund abortions in Appalachia with @HollerHealth! Can you help us get there?

Now just $136!!!
Y'all are incredible!!! We're at $2506!!! And we still have more time before this fundraiser ends and there's truly never enough money for abortion funds, so up the goal goes again! Can we hit $3000???? 👀👀👀
Just $394 from $3,000 raised to help low income folks in Appalachia pay for their abortions!

🧵 emergency contraception x weight (updated)

The best evidence we have suggests that Plan B & generics are less effective in folks >155 lbs. Likewise, data suggests that Ella is less effective >195 lbs. The existing data is a bit mixed, but overall, it seems likely to be true.
Hormonal & copper IUDs can also be used for emergency contraception and aren't impacted by weight. But they have major cons: requires a clinic visit, often expensive without insurance, insertion can be painful, lasts for years, etc. That said, they're a good option for some!
While not 100% proven, evidence also suggests taking 2 doses of Plan B doesn't improve effectiveness. It does, however, make you more likely to vomit. Nausea is a fairly common side effect of Plan B, and vomiting within 2 hours of taking it can lead to failure.

🧵I am seeing A LOT of confusion about the different types of abortions. Here's a very brief guide to some of the most common abortion methods:
Medication abortion is overall the most common method. It uses 2 medications: mifepristone (mife) & misoprostol (miso) to end an early pregnancy (usually up to 10 weeks). If you go into a clinic, you usually take mife there, and then take miso at home. It's very safe & effective.
There's also telemedicine abortion, a type of medication abortion. Instead of going to the clinic, you talk with a clinician via video or phone, and the same mife and miso pills you would get in the clinic are mailed to you. This is legal in 31 states. Very safe & effective.

A beginner’s NO list for talking about abortion accurately & without stigma:

🚫 coat hangers

🚫 handmaids

🚫 “safe, legal, rare”

🚫 gendered language

🚫 “Underground Railroad”

🚫 “only ends safe abortion”

🚫 euphemisms like “right to choose”

🚫 “no one’s pro-abortion”
FAQs on why this language is unhelpful, stigmatizing, or just plain wrong: docs.google.com/document/d/1w_…
Y'all, this is a resource for people who want to do better and be less harmful, not a king's decree. If you want to be wrong, go be wrong. I don't need a status report from the badass bloc over here.

Abortion has no long-term health effects whatsoever. All of these myths about increases in risk for depression, breast cancer, infertility, etc. are exactly that—myths. Nothing about abortion is dangerous. It has a lower complication rate than wisdom teeth removal or colonoscopy.

🧵 Before I say this I want to be very clear that Lizelle is NOT at all to blame for what is being done to her. Full stop.

But for others in the future, there are some things you can do to reduce (not eliminate) the risk of criminalization with a miscarriage or abortion at home:
1. Leave no online footprint of searches or purchases. Digital Defense Fund's privacy guide is your go-to. Private browsing, 2-factor authentication, encrypted messaging, etc. are critical: digitaldefensefund.org/ddf-guides/abo…
2. Medical complications are very uncommon with abortion pills but not impossible. If it's not an emergency but you need expert health advice, use a service like Google Voice to call or text the Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline at 1-833-246-2632. mahotline.org
