Due to centuries of systemic discrimination, abortion bans fall hardest on Black, Latina, Indigenous, and other people of color. Together, we must all fight back.
This election, we saw voters give elected officials a directive: protect and restore abortion rights and access.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has taken away our right to abortion and overturned Roe v. Wade, opening the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion.
The court has failed us all — but this is far from over. ⤵

Like Nessie and Bigfoot, the term “late-term abortion” is completely made up. It’s anti-abortion propaganda with no basis in medicine, intended to confuse people.
We know what politicians want because it's already happening: to ban abortion state by state—& eventually a national ban. But, like generations before us, we'll fight for each other. If you or someone you know needs an abortion, reach out: 1-800-230-Plan &
For the first time in nearly 50 years, Planned Parenthood is being forced out of the Title X program, meaning people across the country who are already struggling to make ends meet might not be able to access the care they need.
Absolutely devastating.

Being a Planned Parenthood supporter doesn't come with corporate perks and discounts. People stand with Planned Parenthood because they support reproductive health and rights.

We 💯 agree: "It is my body, not the state's. Women and their doctors are in the best position to make informed decisions about what is best for them. No one else." —

JUST IN:
@realDonaldTrump
just imposed a gag rule to cut funds to any health care provider that refers their patients for abortions.
The effect:
1) violates medical ethics
2) prevents women from getting full, accurate health care
2) takes care away from millions
#NoGagRule
This. Is. Huge.
@NYGovCuomo
JUST signed the Reproductive Health Act into law — a big win towards securing safe, legal abortion & access to contraception for all!
Can't wait to see other states follow New York's lead to protect our health and rights. 😎
Islamophobia is real.
White supremacy is real.
Hatred is real.
From New Zealand to the U.S. or no matter where you live, we deserve better — we all deserve to live free from fear and violence.
Reproductive health care is health care — and health care is a human right.
Thank you,

Thank you,

&
@berniesanders
, for bringing attention to the high maternal mortality rate for Black women in this country. Racial disparities in care have led to Black women dying from pregnancy-related complications 3 to 4x the rate of white women. We must do better.
Thank you,
@AndrewYang
and
@BernieSanders
for addressing the astronomically high maternal mortality rate for people of color.
In Texas, Black women are 3 times more likely to die of pregnancy-related complications than White women.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth will make history when she becomes the first sitting senator in history to give birth later this year, a striking fact considering how much power the U.S. Senate exerts over women's bodies.

- and ALL days - we recognize the countless contributions women have made to our economy, our communities, & our Nation. The Trump Admin will continue to strive to empower women across America to keep making a profound impact.
Planned Parenthood
- is a nonprofit
- that provides health care
You, on the other hand, represent an organization at the heart of a massive public health crisis. You have no credibility. Take a seat.

We give a half a billion taxpayer dollars a year to Planned Parenthood, a for profit business that donates those dollars almost exclusively to Democrats. Don’t say school security to PROTECT kids is too expensive when you’re cool funding this.

BREAKING: The Trump administration strips Title X funding from Planned Parenthood in Wisconsin, Hawaii, North Carolina, Virginia, and southwest Ohio, putting health care at risk for 40,000+ patients — in a coordinated attack to block patients from coming to Planned Parenthood.

There is no such thing as abortion until or after birth.
Trump's position on abortion is so extreme that he lies to the American public to incite fear & violence against women making personal decisions & abortion providers trying to provide their patients the best care possible.
VICTORY: SCOTUS just allowed lower court rulings to stand in Medicaid “defunding” cases. This decision protects Medicaid patients who rely on Planned Parenthood for birth control, cancer screenings, and STD testing and treatment.
BREAKING: A federal court in Spokane just ruled that the Trump administration's early cuts to the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program grants are UNLAWFUL.
