Here’s Which Planned Parenthood Clinics Are Still Seeing Medicaid Patients In the wake of federal “defunding,” one Planned Parenthood affiliate has halted abortions, another has suspended all Medicaid services, and others are self-pay only. Find out where your local organiza...

Some updates to our list here, and most of them are good—more affiliates tell us they are still caring for people with Medicaid post-"defund."

But an awful lot of these statements come with a "for now" caveat, suggesting things could change in a few weeks or months.

@autonomynews.co polled all PP affiliates about their status with regard to abortion services and Medicaid recipients, and collected the results here: www.autonomynews.co/heres-which-... 2/2

Our Bremerton Planned Parenthood will continue to provide services -- including medication abortion -- to Medicaid recipients, despite the "defund" provision in the federal budget. Folks elsewhere in the country may be in a different situation. 1/2

Just a reminder that the US Postal Service is still working :)

Abortion pills: available in all 50 states, with or without a functioning government!

Two people stand in the woods with beautiful trees, moss, and ferns all around. They're holding up two posters each. The posters have a feminine-looking person texting to a friend "I'm here." They're in all different colors, with different pro-abortion slogans in different languages.

Special thanks to Shout Your Abortion for these posters and for including us in this celebration.

Celebrating mifepristone, a hero in modern abortion access, on its 25th anniversary in the U.S. Mifepristone has played a disruptive and transformational role in today’s abortion access landscape, writes Plan C’s Elisa Wells.

Our Access Director and Co-founder Elisa Wells on mifepristone's 25th anniversary in the US:

"While not a perfect system by any means, it represents an amazing revolution in access and an important way in which the injustice of abortion bans is being disrupted."

Thanks to @statnews.com!

Oops, to be clear, there are a couple other clinics in Wisconsin not affiliated with Planned Parenthood. But Wisconsinites' already limited options are tightening even further. Many folks will be forced to travel for care. Abortion funds need your help.

Find an Abortion Fund - National Network of Abortion Funds Abortion funds provide various kinds of support. Use our search feature. Find an abortion fund that can help you or the folks in your community.

WHAT YOU CAN DO: if you'd like to help the people of Wisconsin obtain the abortion care they need despite the lack of providers in the state, the most effective things to do is donate to abortion funds that cover the state or region. Find a choice of fund(s) here:

abortionfunds.org/find-a-fund/

Law professor Mary Ziegler wrote about Wisconsin's battle over an 1849 feticide law here:

Awful news out of Wisconsin today. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin had only recently recommenced providing abortion care after it was briefly banned in the state (full story on that in next post), so it's especially tragic to see this happening now.

PS: We would also like you to restore the $8.5m that was cut from the Abortion Access Project. kthx 👍

WA will replace Planned Parenthood’s lost Medicaid funding with state dollars • Washington State Standard Washington state will backfill lost Medicaid dollars for Planned Parenthood after a court ruling last week.

Excellent news for Kitsap County and the state as a whole. Thank you, Governor!

“Washington will step into this temporary gap to ensure women continue to have access to critical health care.”

I would like 10,000 such workshops happening.

Abortion pill providers targeted by new Texas law refuse ‘anticipatory obedience’ Greg Abbott’s latest move fuels clash between US red states and blue-state shield laws protecting abortion care

There's SO MUCH going on that I'm sure this news will get lost, but: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed into law a first-of-its-kind bill that lets private citizens to sue abortion providers who ship pills into the state.

Providers basically told me: Bring it on.

Community Networks: - Generic pills that are typically manufactured in India - Equivalent to pills approved in the United States, but the US FDA does not oversee their production or quality. - Option to receive pills in foil blister pack or repackaged without labeling (in unmarked prescription bottle or small sealed pouch). - Different services send different amounts of miso (8, 12, or 16 tablets).

Websites that sell pills: - Generic pills that are typically manufactured in India - Equivalent to pills approved in the United States, but the US FDA does not oversee their production or quality. - Sometimes inside a small cardboard box and sometimes just in foil blister packs. - Usually, one mife tablet and at least 8 miso. Sometimes 2 packages of 5 pills (totalling 2 mife, 8 miso.)

US-based Online Clinics US FDA approved medications from an authorized distributor

How Different Service Package Abortion Pills: A visual guide

Different services ship different pill types. These images are examples, but pill shapes, colors, brands, and pill markings can vary, so orders may look different. The outer packaging will not show that there are abortion pills inside. Plan C does regular "mystery shopping" to test services that mail pills. Over the past 10 years of testing, we have never received any products that appear to be fake. Our period lab testing of products has shown that pills provided by the services listed on our website have the correct active ingredients and are of acceptable quality.

Most services ship 1 mife plus at least 8 miso. Prodivers or the M&A Hotline can provide guidance on how many pills to take (and what to do with any extra pills). If you need support to self-manage your miscarriage or abortion, call or text 1-888-246-2632. All texts and phone calls at confidential, private, and secure.

What to expect when you're expecting...abortion pills in the mail! Here's our visual and alt-text guide to what should show up after you order.

A comment exchange on the Idaho Statesman’s Facebook page. The first comment says “Planned Parenthood found my cancer and saved my life in 2003” and the responding comment says “My dentist looks for cancer but they don’t perform abortions” with a winky face

Well there it is, the dumbest thing I’ve read today

Aw, damn.

Huge thanks to all who came and visited us. It was a great day. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🫶🏻

Two people hold stickers that say, "Abortion: Not Just for the Ladies" and "Fuck the Courts: Abortion Forever". One also holds a postcard that says in all caps, "ABORTION FOREVER".

We want to be careful of people's identities on a public social media platform such as Bluesky, so we've cropped out the faces. You'll just have to trust us that these are the cutest Pride festival attendees EVER. 🥹 Swag displayed is from Shout Your Abortion and NW Abortion Access Fund.
