Pro-Choice North Carolina

Pro-Choice North Carolina's Statement on Gerrymandered Congressional Maps Voting rights are reproductive rights. Political gerrymandering threatens both.

"There's more than enough work for the #NCGA to do: NC's budget's overdue by 110+ days, leaving schools & state agencies underfunded...But in lieu of addressing these pressing needs, Repubs needlessly drew even more gerrymandered maps b/c the President demanded" it.

#SHAME on republicans in the North Carolina General Assembly. This is nothing more than cheater-cheater-pumpkin-eater spoiled brat behavior. This is undemocratic and just negated the voices and votes of millions of North Carolinians. SHAME!

"It's really important for everyone to speak out now, because if we don't now, we may not have a chance to again."

On Monday, North Carolinians spoke powerfully AGAINST a scheme by politicians in the legislature to further manipulate our state's voting maps.

NC Repubs are AGAIN trying to change the rules & we’ve seen it before: We had fair maps in 2022 where an even number of Dems & Repubs were elected, reflecting NC's true bipartisan nature. Yet, as soon as Repubs could, they redrew the maps to give them a 10-4 advantage. Now, even that's not enough.

Missouri attorney general subpoenas Planned Parenthood for patient abortion records • Missouri Independent Missouri's attorney general subpoenaed for health records of Planned Parenthood abortion patients as part of ongoing litigation around abortion access.

Just another example of antiabortionists trying to harass and scare people who've accessed #abortion care or who will need to access abortion care. Utterly shameful and utterly terrifying.

We're heading finishing the second week of 40 Days for CAF. For the next 4 weeks, we'll count the anti-abortion protestors outside of clinics in North and South Carolina. Each protester who shows up to harass patients will add to the running total we're raising to help fund abortion services.

Medicaid patients lose quick access to basic care after Planned Parenthood cuts and closures Second in a five-part series.When Margaret Crawford found out her reproductive health care provider was closing soon due to federal funding cuts, she scheduled an appointment for her annual exam.

Anti-abortion groups split over proposal that could make SC's ban the strictest nationwide • SC Daily Gazette The bill would remove exceptions for crime victims and fatal fetal anomalies. Women could also be prosecuted for having an abortion.

As redistricting fight looms, North Carolina poll shows voters of all parties oppose gerrymandering • NC Newsline A poll found 84% of North Carolina voters say redrawing maps for partisan advantage is “never acceptable” and they should be drawn neutrally.

The *only* people who want gerrymandering are the nasty politicians who do it.

From our friends at @commoncausenc.bsky.social: "A strong majority of voters – 70% – support the establishment of a bipartisan citizens commission to draw fair voting maps for NC."

Pope Leo XIV says 'inhuman treatment of immigrants' in the U.S. isn't 'pro-life' Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

"'Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,' Pope Leo said."

The only thing antiabortionists are "pro" about is controlling people's bodies & lives.

Cervical cancer could be eradicated, experts say. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics. Third in a five-part series.It had been a decade since Jess Deis’ last women’s wellness exam when Kentucky expanded Medicaid and she finally qualified for the state insurance program.

What has to happen to politicians to make them so cruel they would deny people access to healthcare and to a vaccine that can prevent cancer?

In the two years after Dobbs, prosecutors initiated at least 412 cases charging people with crimes related to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, or birth.

Prosecutors criminalized 31 people who experienced a pregnancy loss in the 2 years after Dobbs.

Pregnancy related prosecutions happened in 16 states. These were the top 3: Alabama, Oklahoma, and South Carolina.

Most cases involve allegations of substance use during pregnancy - 399/412 Most cases began in a medical setting - 264/412 Most cases involved the family policing system - 217/412

We have NEW research on pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first two years after Dobbs, and there are surely more cases.

They show us that giving rights to fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses paves the way for people to be ARRESTED and PUNISHED for all pregnancy outcomes — beyond abortion.

Two GOP lawmakers push new abortion waiting period in Ohio, as current law is still in court Republican lawmakers sponsoring this new 24-hour wait for abortion in Ohio said it's different than the law that's currently in the courts.

Of course they are, because antis gonna anti.

Federal budget cuts threaten pregnant women’s health care access and lives Federal cuts to Medicaid diminish health care access for pregnant women, especially uninsured Black expectant mothers who are most likely to suffer the most.

H.R. 1's a racist, sexist, & classist bill.

Black women are 3x+ "more likely to die in pregnancy or postpartum. Congress passed a sweeping budget, the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' that'll slash Medicaid, destabilize ACA marketplaces...jeopardizing access to care for millions."
