#ICYMI - our research shows 24% of adolescent girls who've been in a relationship will have experienced physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence by the time they turn 20 years old. #SVRI2024

Read this interview w/ @bganatra about how banning #abortion only pushes women towards dangerous methods. "The number of abortions doesn’t depend on how restrictive the legal framework is. What changes...is the ability of women to have safe abortions.” ➡️ https://t.co/LGYhQ0x9Pz
