In a sweeping rebuke, a court ruled that NIH’s actions targeting research involving "disfavored" topics and populations were unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious, and therefore void. Ibis President @kblanchardIbis reflects on the harm done—and why this research matters ā¬‡ļø.

Now known as the Choice of Termination of Pregnancy Act, the law gives women and girls above 12 years of age the right to decide whether to have an abortion. In honour of Nelson Mandela, tell us how you will be spending your 67 minutes. #MandelaDay #IbisAfrica.

🧵President Nelson Mandela championed women’s rights in South Africa. He signed South Africa's abortion bill in 1996, clearing the way for one of the world's toughest abortion laws to be replaced with one of the most liberal.

🧵World Day for International Justice reminds us that reproductive justice IS social justice. āš–ļø When young people can't access contraceptions, when gender-based violence goes unpunished, when healthcare is a privilege, not a right - that is injustice.

2 years ago, on July 13, 2023, the FDA approved @opill_otc as the FIRST-EVER over-the-counter (OTC), daily birth control pill in the US! 🄳 Now that Opill is on store shelves across the country, it's the MOST effective type of birth control available without a prescription!

Right now, there are major barriers to im/migrant families accessing health care. This directly impacts the wellness + safety of our communities! The #HEAL Act would change that. Everyone deserves health care—full stop. We're joining @NAPAWF + @LatinaInstitute to spread the word!

Researchers ā€˜Cautiously Optimistic’ @NIH Will Restore Grants. A judge ruled last week that the NIH unlawfully terminated hundreds of research grants and ordered the agency to restore them. Internal rumblings suggest the NIH will comply, but researchers.

7/ But this decision is not just about South Carolina—it opens the door to states across the country to further impede people’s ability to access the sexual and reproductive health care they need.
