This is a relief and it’s ridiculous that the legal ground has shifted several times in the last 2 weeks. We repeat: People who need abortions shouldn’t have to sift through court rulings and headlines every day to understand what the law says about their ability to get care.

BREAKING: Mife by mail is still available in all 50 states—pass it on. We just heard from SCOTUS that they are going to continue to allow providers to prescribe mifepristone through the mail–at least until this case has gone through appeal.

Laws standing between you and the care that you need is a form of state violence. Full stop. No matter what the Court ends up deciding, we will be here for survivors defending their bodily autonomy. Need support? Reach out to @ndvh or our Helpline at ReproLegalHelpline.org

Unnecessary regulation reinforces how abusers wield control over survivors' lives. By restricting access, this law only adds to the isolation and difficulty of trying to safely stay or exit an abusive relationship.

Amicus brief filed! Michiganders deserve care, not more restrictions. We represented @mcedsv, @ndvh, and @nnedv in an amicus brief in Northland Family Planning v. Nessel, challenging a Michigan law that singles out abortion providers: ifwhenhow.org/resources/nort…
