GA Health Professionals for Reproductive Justice

Georgia’s 6-week abortion ban, HB 481, went into effect on July 20th. Here's what to know:

ASRM stands strongly in opposition to the dangerous Alabama Supreme Court ruling that a frozen fertilized egg should be treated as the legal equivalent of an existent child. Full press release here: asrm.org/news-and-event…

When they came for abortion, we knew it would extend to IVF and contraception. An embryo in an IVF lab is not a person. This decision by the AL court will restrict IVF. Other states will follow. Your reproductive rights are all at risk.

A new survey in @JME_BMJ reveals 75% of future US doctors factor in state abortion access when choosing training locations. Post-legal change, they prioritise patient care and personal health. Read more here: bit.ly/3uPCu0B #MedicalTraining #ReproductiveRights"

Yet another study confirms: abortion bans strongly deter OB-GYNs from living and working in restrictive states, creating dangerous health care deserts that leave locals without expert obstetric or maternal care when they need it most. usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

We know focusing on getting folks out of state for abortion care seems like the best remedy for this reality, but the truth is not everyone can leave the state. When we operate from a reproductive justice lens, we show up fully for everyone in our communities. ✊🏽 #DeepSouth

Would be great to see more Atlanta healthcare workers supporting this initiative, who see first hand the devastating impact medical debt can have on health. Thanks to @austinlouisray for organizing! @PNHPGeorgia

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day & the 23rd anniversary of #mifepristone approval in the US! 🎉 As we celebrate, let's remember that all people should have access to high-quality, affordable & timely abortion care when they need it! #Sept28 #AbortionIsEssential

Abortion bans are forcing healthcare providers to delay or deny life-saving care when pregnancy complications arise. They make no medical or scientific sense.

I spoke with @CNN today about @Guttmacher recent data on access to abortion. It is important to understand that the need for abortion does not change based on it’s legal status. nbcpalmsprings.com/2023/09/07/abo…

.@ACOG’s Christopher M. Zahn, MD, FACOG, and @SocietyFP’s Jenni Villavicencio, MD, MPP, FACOG, have a message for @KellyannePolls and @marjoriesba about the harms of perpetuating lies about abortion care. Read their letter in @PostOpinions: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/… @VillaviMD

Biased Ohio policy makers are trying to manipulate voters by “summarizing” ballot initiative text with inaccurate, inflammatory language about abortion. Voters deserve the truth. Read ACOG’s statement on the harm that polarizing ballot language causes: bit.ly/3qUoukP

#Mifepristone is safe, effective and accounts for more than half of all US abortions. But that hasn’t stopped anti-abortion groups from attacking access to this essential medication. Here are the facts you need to know ⬇

Anti-abortion activists will stop at nothing to ban abortion—even if it means completely ignoring science. Today’s decision in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA does not change the facts: #Mifepristone is safe, effective and essential. gu.tt/3OFc1sT

Abortions aren’t just for people who don’t want to be pregnant. They’re also crucial for people who desperately want to be pregnant but experience fetal health complications.

FACT: 1 in 4 OB-GYNs nationwide have patients who couldn’t get the abortion they wanted. Let that sink in. kff.org/womens-health-…

A procedure change by one of the largest suppliers of #abortion pills allows physicians in states that have passed #ShieldLaws to provide #Telemedicine abortion services to patients in states banning abortion. Read more from the @washingtonpost-- tinyurl.com/2zextfl9

1. Spoke with @SemiAmericans about Cop City and some of the many reasons people oppose it. Specifically we talked about why I believe all healthcare workers should oppose Cop City and similar carceral investments.

True freedom encompasses the power to make choices that foster health, safety, and well-being. #AbortionIsEssentialHealthCare that must be accessible to all. Learn more: bit.ly/3NxrsCW #IndependenceDay

Med students face bans and restrictions that limit their ability to learn about abortion care in their curriculum. 📚🩺 🩺 Access to safe and legal abortion care is essential for everyone, and it's vital that med students receive comprehensive education to provide that care.

This week our experts & allies will gather @EthicalNYC to discuss post-#Roe challenges & opportunities for abortion access. Don’t miss @profmmurray, @superkwa, @votejgr, @pauavilg, Mallah Tabot of @ippfar, @HerminiaPalacio, @KellyBaden & @IrumTaqi! RSVP: eventbrite.com/e/one-year-pos…
