The Supreme Court is hearing Medina v. Planned Parenthood—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
At risk?
The right of Medicaid patients to choose their provider. If the Court rules against Planned Parenthood, millions could lose access to essential care. 🧵
That means birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing, and abortion services (where legal) could become harder—or impossible—to access for low-income people who rely on Medicaid.
🚨 This case is part of a larger attack on reproductive rights.
It’s not just about one provider—it’s about controlling who gets care, when, and how. It’s about anti-abortion extremists chipping away at bodily autonomy.
And let’s be clear: Latine and other marginalized communities will be hit hardest.
Many rely on Medicaid and Planned Parenthood as their main source of care. Cutting access means more barriers for Latinas, Black women, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ folks.
Why does this matter?
Because health care is a human right. Because people deserve to choose their providers. Because this decision could reshape access to care and justice for generations.
We won’t stay silent while our communities are attacked. Thats why we’re here in DC TODAY with our Poderosxs for a critical moment in the fight for reproductive justice!
Today is the 1st day of "#LatinxHeritageMonth" and we're spending it reminding ppl tht forced sterilization of our community is genocide that has been happening to Black, Brown, & Indigenous ppls since this country's founding. If ur surprised u haven't been paying attention...
From legislation like the Hyde Amendement 2 fake clinics, there has been a long effort in this country to block POC from controlling their bodies. Despite being "pro life" many are just obsessed with controlling our bodies. Case in point:
Every Puerto Rican is a miracle! Have you read abt the tests in PR? AND in 2013 the @CIRonline reported that women incarcerated in a California prison had been illegally sterilized. @oboshealth discussed his history here: ourbodiesourselves.org/book-excerpts/…
