A pharma sciences professor has proven what we already knew: the study cited in Texas Judge Kascmaryk's radical attempt to remove #mifepristone from the market is “grossly misleading” and “dishonest”. The publishing journal has opened an investigation. newjerseymonitor.com/2023/08/02/stu…
Here are a couple hints that Kascmaryk’s favorite junk study wasn't on the level:
➡️All but 1 of the study's 8 authors are associated with the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of the Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America group which works to elect anti-abortion extremists.
➡️The lead author of the study is employed by an anti-abortion think tank and is a paid expert witness that defends extreme anti-abortion laws in federal court.
➡️One author was, until recently, CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, one of the very plaintiff medical groups suing the FDA to attempt to remove #mifepristone from the market.
➡️Another author is a longtime anti-abortion activist with a record of debunked research attempting to directly link abortion with suicide.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: there is scientific CONSENSUS on the exemplary safety and efficacy of #mifepristone. Anti-abortion extremists cannot change the science, no matter how much as they’d like to. #FactsMatter.

#BREAKING: HUGE NEWS! 🎉🎉🎉
The judge in our Zurawski v. Texas case has ruled IN FAVOR of our plaintiffs, BLOCKING Texas' abortion bans as they apply to dangerous pregnancy complications including fatal fetal diagnoses.
Today’s ruling alleviates months of confusion around what conditions qualify as medical emergencies under Texas’ abortion bans, giving doctors permission to use their own medical judgment in determining when abortion care is needed.
The judge also ruled Texas's SB8, a reprehensible vigilante law which empowers individual citizens to report others' abortions for pay, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

🔔WE ARE IN TEXAS STATE COURT RIGHT NOW representing 13 Texan women denied abortions despite serious pregnancy complications.

👉Follow this thread as we share live updates from Zurawski v. State of Texas, a lawsuit filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights.
The court will decide whether to grant the plaintiffs’ request to temporarily block Texas’s abortion bans. The court will also hear arguments on the state’s shameful request to dismiss the case without having the witnesses give their testimony in court. bit.ly/3pU2zd4
Women from across Texas traveled to Austin to give testimony at the hearing and be present for the proceedings for the next two days.

We are so incredibly proud to be representing Amanda Zurawski, Anna Zargarian, Lauren Hall, and Lauren Miller in our case, Zurawski v. State of Texas. Our lawsuit makes a common sense request: let Texas doctors practice medicine and keep their pregnant patients safe. 🧵
Texas's extreme ban is creating chaos for patients and doctors. Texas lawmakers claim the ban has a medical exception, but our plaintiffs were denied medically necessary abortions. It's clear: Texans in obstetrical emergencies can't access the care they need to save their lives.
We're asking the court to create a binding interpretation of the medical exception. Doctors must be allowed to use good-faith judgment in determining the right care for pregnant patients without fear a prosecutor, jury or disciplinary board might undermine their medical judgment.

#BREAKING: Today, Polish human rights defender Justyna Wydrzyńska was convicted by a district court in Warsaw for providing abortion medication to a domestic violence survivor in 2020. She has been sentenced to 8 months of community service. #JakJustyna
Poland bans abortion under almost all circumstances, making it one of the hardest places to access abortion in Europe. Anyone who provides abortion care or helps someone to obtain an abortion can be prosecuted under Polish law.
Wydrzyńska’s conviction sets a dangerous precedent for the targeting of human rights defenders in Poland who are working to advance reproductive rights and challenge Poland’s de facto ban on abortion.

On National Black Midwives Day, and every day, we join @black_midwives in recognizing the critical role Black midwives play in our communities and in our movement. 🧵
Unlike other wealthy nations, where midwives provide maternal health care for most people giving birth, the U.S. has marginalized midwifery care, particularly Black practitioners.
Campaigns rooted in racism and competition have resulted in states imposing a patchwork of medically unnecessary legal and financial barriers on midwives. In many states, Black midwives with a record of respectful, safe health care face punishment if they continue practicing.

🚨🚨🚨 The first hearing in a Texas case that could upend access to abortion pills across the U.S. is scheduled for this Wednesday, March 15th. 🧵
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
A decision in this case has the potential to withdraw the abortion medication mifepristone from the market NATIONWIDE, including in states where abortion is legally protected. In the U.S., medication abortion accounts for more than half of all abortions.
Mifepristone has an outstanding safety and efficacy track record of over 20 years. Leading medical orgs—including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists— support increased access to this life- and health-saving medication.
