Medication abortion is a safe an effective option to end an early pregnancy yet it remains subject to unique restrictions that cause serious harm to patients with ZERO safety benefit. These restrictions wrongfully isolate and stigmatize abortion care. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/women-seeking-medication-abortions-face-increasing-state-restrictions-fda-weighs-n1275199

People living with low incomes will be hit hardest if SCOTUS decides to reverse #RoevWade. MS has one of the highest percentages of population below the poverty level and yet, the state is doing everything it can to deny access to essential abortion care.

The South is quickly becoming an abortion desert for patients seeking care and will be the first to eliminate access completely if Roe falls.

Despite this, our members like @MemphisCHOICES and Feminist Women's Health Center continue to provide abortion care for their patients.💙

Thanks NPR and Sarah Varney for this important glimpse (featuring CHOICES!) at the challenges of accessing abortions in the South. 💚

Texas’ #SB8 is a slippery slope for legislation across the country. If this law is allowed to stand, what’s to stop people from arguing to use it to advance their personal agendas wherever they see fit?

It’s true, people with means will always be able to access abortion but where does that leave folks working to make ends meet?

Getting rid of the #HydeAmendment is the first step towards dismantling systemic racism and ensuring meaningful access to abortion care for ALL PEOPLE.

Our co-president @DLoTweets sums up the state of abortion access in this @rollcall piece by @SandhyaWrites -- “You have created an unfair and unjust system because women with means will always be able to get an abortion in this country.”

"What Mississippi’s brief has done is make it impossible for the court to place any kind of fig leaf over a ruling in the state’s favor. To uphold a pre-viability abortion ban is to overturn Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. It’s that simple."

#RoevWade is the floor, not the ceiling. As we set our sights on protecting it at the Supreme Court this fall, we must remember that achieving meaningful access to abortion will require much more than what #Roe has to offer. #ProtectAbortionAccess

#Roe was a promise that abortion would be legal across all 50 states. That guarantee is now wearing thin and could quickly disappear.

If you’re still unsure about why this is such a big deal, check out how your state could be affected:

Abortion is still legal in all 50 U.S. states. For now.

A direct threat to #RoevWade and abortion access in the United States is here and it is real.

Mississippi’s abortion ban does NOTHING to protect the health or well-being of its citizens. Instead, it amplifies the health disparities that have systematically oppressed black pregnant people in the state for decades.

Attacks on abortion have been a manifestation of the vigilantism we’ve seen across the country. We saw it at the Capitol Riot on Jan. 6 and we’re prepared to see it again if TX’s #SB8 goes into effect and empowers individuals to be interventionists.

The new Texas abortion law, paired with rising vigilantism and the ideas that fuel “stand your ground,” points to a frightening future.
