Adoption is not a stand in for abortion. No one should be forced to experience pregnancy and childbirth without their consent.

Kristy Kelly (she/her)@UptownSquirrel7

@ANSIRH @ReproRights Adoption is an alternative to parenting, NOT to pregnancy. All are choices a person should be allowed to make free from barriers.

Today, we should be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, but instead, we’re mourning the loss of reproductive freedom and the devastation of the last 7 months. While anti-abortion policymakers have played political football with our rights, real people have suffered.

Although anti-choice politicians tried to minimize violence against abortion providers this week, we know the truth. Our security team works 24/7 to protect providers from harassment and violence and in the past year these threats have only increased.

Anti-choice rhetoric contributes to a system that harasses, attacks, and threatens abortion providers and patients. Yesterday's resolution in the House ignores the experience of abortion providers like NAF member Dr. Colleen McNicholas from @PPSLR

Congress wants to label abortion supporters 'violent.' That won't stop providers like me.

Despite the unpopularity of banning abortion, some lawmakers have made a trio of anti-abortion bills a pillar of their first legislative priorities.

Voters were clear in the midterms: expand access to reproductive freedoms. It's time our representatives respected the will of the people.

Important analysis by NAF Members @guttmacher: as of now, 24 U.S. states have banned abortion or are likely to do so and this is causing chaos and devastation for millions of people who need abortion care.

Guttmacher Institute@Guttmacher

🚨 As of January 9, 24 US states have banned abortion or are likely to do so.

This devastating toll means that millions of people are being denied bodily autonomy and critical abortion care. Our analysis on what's going on in these states 👇
