🧵 In response to the Missouri Attorney General’s emergency regulation, which attempts to effectively ban gender-affirming care in Missouri, we released the following statement announcing an expansion of care:
Statement from Dr. Colleen McNicholas, Chief Medical Officer, PPSLR: “Yet again, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is putting his transphobic, extreme ideology before evidence-based medicine and care. Bailey’s political agenda is not welcome in my exam room ..."
“We are increasing our capacity to welcome as many new gender-affirming care patients as possible before this disastrous rule takes effect on April 27 — in addition to the more than 1,000 patients we already see for this life-saving care ..."
🧵 In response to MO Attorney General Bailey’s latest attack on gender-affirming care, we are having pop-up clinics for new gender-affirming care patients in Springfield (MO), STL, & Fairview Heights, IL, starting Monday, 4/17. Learn more: plannedparenthood.org/planned-parent…. #NoMOTransBans
MO Attorney General Bailey is abusing his power to attack trans Missourians. We sued to stop his sham investigation into our gender-affirming health care program, which serves patients 16 & older.
On Thursday, 4/13, AG Bailey issued an emergency rule that would effectively ban gender-affirming care in MO for adults & young people. We encourage any Missourian interested in starting gender-affirming care to make an appointment before the regulation takes effect on 4/27.
🧵 🚨Important update🚨 We WILL continue lawfully providing medication abortions with mifepristone in Illinois regardless of the outcome in Texas — thanks to IL pro-abortion champions @GovPritzker & @ILAttyGeneral. #BansOffOurBodies
Last Friday, the lawless decision out of Texas to pause the @US_FDA's approval of mifepristone created confusion and anxiety for people who need abortions. Mifepristone is safe, effective, & has been used by more than 5 million people since the @US_FDA approved it 20+ years ago.
According to @CDCgov, more than half of the abortions in the U.S. in 2020 were medication abortions. By allowing ideological operatives to undermine @US_FDA, this case sets a dark and dangerous precedent for public health and medical interventions in this country.
