In 14 states w/ abortion bans, fertility increased 1.7% and infant mortality increased 6%.

Key takeaway is that these impacts were disproportionately felt among those w/ greatest structural disadvantages.

For Dems in AD51: voting is open until Feb 23. Pin comes in the mail and then vote online. I’d be honored if you would vote for me & my Progressive Slate. We care deeply about economic justice, housing affordability, racial justice, repro justice, LGBTQ, and progressive systemic change.

Losing two SRH powerhouses within days of one another 😒. I always discuss the Plan B case study and Susan Wood’s courage in my SRH courses - and will make sure to do so
