Biden is going to sign an Executive Order today. We'll see what the final text says, but as an #abortion provider here's the context I can share:
HHS doesn't distribute or prescribe medication abortion. If federal employees need medication abortion, they go to abortion clinics.
As of today, states like Texas and Mississippi don't have #abortion clinics that are providing care, and telemedicine abortion is illegal. Unless the EO grants access to teleMAB to every person in every state, how will this actually get medication abortion to Texans?

Last week, I worked alongside the most compassionate, fun, & talented staff providing #abortion care to the people of #Oklahoma, #Texas, and beyond.
We worked *hard*. We stayed late. We laughed. We cried. We took care of each other. This is my message to all of us...

We can't keep going at this pace, y'all.
I'm tired. I'm really, really tired. Aren't you?
The hard truth is, we don't have the capacity for what's about to happen. Take your time off, now. Then take some more. Support your folx to take more time.
🚨 I'm getting reports from pharmacists across #Texas -they are being directed to not fill prescriptions for misoprostol, mifepristone, or methotrexate until they verify that the meds are not for induced #abortion. #SB4 is harmful to ALL of us, even w/ #SB8 still in effect 1/
🚨 This is a classic solution in search of a problem. *NO ONE* prescribes meds for #abortion in #Texas. We dispense or administer all meds directly to the patient. THE ONLY people that need these drugs in a pharmacy either have a miscarriage, cancer, or autoimmune disease 2/

We won.
A lot more legal hoops and appeals before people can get abortion care.
But for today, we won. #BansOffOurBodies

I don't know who needs to hear this (@joycefr), but AAPLOG is a hate group that violates all 4 core principles of medical ethics and promotes experimentation on humans without consent. Your recent piece is irresponsible journalism *at best*. A 🧵
First, let's start with autonomy: the decision making process of the people we care for must be free from coercion. AAPLOG leverages their "status" as physicians to promote scientifically inaccurate information about #abortion and #contraception to promote an extremist ideology.
