Yesterday's PA Supreme Court ruling was a great first step towards more equitable access to reproductive healthcare. Let's keep this energy going. #PAWHC #AbortionIsHealthcare

Great reporting by Stephania Taladrid tells the tragic story of one Texas woman, @jennlewey and I have shown this is just the beginning of a health crisis on the doorstep of all states with abortion bans @NewYorker: bit.ly/NYer-abortion-… Our paper: jacc.org/doi/abs/10.101…

This is Texas AG Ken Paxton saying he’ll throw a woman’s doctors in prison for life if they perform a *court-granted* abortion on a *nonviable* pregnancy that risks causing her permanent infertility and death. Still think the GOP is pro-life?

Important #CardioObstetrics @JACCJournals article by @jennlewey showing higher HDP rates in abortion restricted states jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… Check out our editorial: Repro Healthcare Access & Cardiologist’s Role Addressing HDP & CV Risk @AkoczoAgnes jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

Over the counter #narcan and #contraception have a lot in common! I talk with ⁦@PennLDI⁩ ⁦@shoshiaronowitz⁩ about making ⁦@opill_otc⁩ available where and when people need it @USTreasury⁩ ⁦@USDOL⁩ ⁦@HHSGov⁩ ldi.upenn.edu/our-work/resea…

44M+ women of repro age live in states where abortion is banned or severely restricted & 19M+ live in contraceptive deserts. The gaps are significant & yet only 21% of women of repro age who seek care at FQHCs receive any contraceptive counseling or services. 😤

Sometimes one really has to ask oneself… what would you do without your fav citation manager? Like maybe quit… @mendeley_com I <3 you

🧵 thread: This ​#LatinxHeritageMonth, we honor the history and legacy of Latina/x resistance for abortion rights. The Marea Verde or Green Wave is a global movement for abortion rights started by feminists in Latin America.

Thank you @RepHarris for meeting with these OB/GYNs and @acog to discuss the harm #SB106 will do to our patients and the people of Pennsylvania!

Proud of Philadelphia today! Thank you @HelenGymAtLarge @KendraPHL @JamieGauthier1 for introducing this critical legislative package! And look at this boss @afrarey go!!! 👏🏻

Standing up for abortion rights and reproductive justice has never been more important. That's why I'm proud to introduce the Reproductive Freedom Platform for Philadelphia with @HelenGymAtLarge and @CouncilmemberJG today. Here's what our legislation will do ⬇️

👉If you believe your privacy or someone else's has been violated 🚨REPORT IT🚨 here's a the link: ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/smartscree…

👉 pregnant pt in a state that bans abortion tells provider that they intend to seek an abortion in a state where abortion is legal, provider CANNOT report the statement to law enforcement

🚨Very helpful guidance from @HHSGov about HIPAA and reporting patients for #abortion including these examples: bit.ly/3Ai9PSU

I’m seeing a lot of posts saying people will die because Roe has been overturned. That is definitely true. But perhaps not for the reasons you think.
