This is a big win for reproductive rights in the United States.

NY Governor Hochul signed a bill to ensure doctors who provide abortion medication to patients outside the State have legal protection

Maggie Carpenter is a New York physician who’s been indicted for prescribing abortion medication to a Louisiana patient

This new bill will ensure no doctor in New York can be charged for assisting with a person’s right to choose.

Governor Hochul also stated she would never “under any circumstances” turn Carpenter over to Louisiana

Abortion, Every Day · Finally, Good News: NY Enacts New Protections for Abortion ProvidersBy Jessica Valenti

In Alabama - where there’s a total abortion ban - the rate of infant mortality is skyrocketing.

“It spiked to 7.8 deaths per 1,000 live births – up from 6.7 in 2022 – with 449 newborns dying before reaching their first birthday”

Lawmakers seem to only care about the fetus until its birth (if they ever cared at all).

Once the baby is born - they couldn’t care less what happens to it (or its mother).

People are being forced to carry pregnancies they can’t mentally, physically or financially handle. They aren’t given proper pre-natal care. Many can’t access care at all.

What possible benefit is there to forcing people to carry babies to term - only to let them die soon afterwards?

You’re risking the life of the mother AND baby unnecessarily - and then you turn around and claim to be “pro life”

These bans are the opposite of pro-life.

They’re costing lives. They’re causing untold amounts of trauma. They can also cause medical emergencies that impact a person’s future ability to get pregnant.

They can disproportionately harm disabled people who may have additional reasons for not being able to safely carry a pregnancy to term

They can also result in people becoming trapped in abusive relationships and situations - because they are too sick/pregnant to leave.

Abortion IS healthcare. Bodily autonomy should be a human right for all.

Greetings from #Missouri, where abortion access is largely curtailed, but the right to choose is on the ballot as a constitutional amendment.

The anti-abortion folks are well-funded (thanks religion and HandEgg SportsBall) and seem totally OK to lie on their billboards.

“Protect women!”
“Women are already protected!”
“Abortions through nine months!”
“Preserve families!”

So disgusting, so cringe.

Our gerrymandered state government fought HARD to keep it off the ballot. And is already preparing a challenge when we win.

Pretty sure every "sex ed" class in America should spend a significant amount of time on the numerous issues surrounding child #birth. While I certainly acknowledge the malign influence of male power #politics on the abortion debate, I think at the same time most men are woefully under-educated on just how fraught and complicated the world of bearing a #child can be. Ignorance leads to black and white thinking in a realm composed of a 1000 shades of gray.

Yet more misogyny by the UK's #police... it seems some police forces are testing women who have suffered from miscarriages for the presence of #abortion drugs in their body.

As if having a miscarriage wasn't distressing enough, now the state wants to check whether it can prosecute you.

A women's right to choose is where we should be, not in this latest twist on surveillance society.

There is a Google doc that lists gynaecologists who will perform tubal ligation (tie tubes) without asking if you have kids/your partners permission/are married etc. as long as you're old enough to consent to surgery.

It's sorted by alphabetical order by state.

If your city isn't listed, keep checking because it's constantly being updated.

So far there are entries for USA, Canada, and Australia. Europe will hopefully soon be added.

A drawing of a group of people, a couple of them are visibly pregnant. Some have brightly coloured hair, some are Black, some Brown, some white. There is a child hugging an adult. People are wearing shirts that say "Abolish ICE", a raised "Black Power" fist, and "Black Lives Matter". The text on the drawing says "Reproductive Justice for All"
