As the Trump administration's attack on medical science continues to put the lives of every American at greater risk, let this be a reminder of why the opinions of politicians don't belong in our private medical decisions.

Abortion is freedom inside a red heart on a striped background.

Abortion is freedom inside a red heart on a striped background.

It’s the freedom to make your own decisions about your body, your future, and your family – without politicians interfering. We won’t stop fighting until abortion care is available, affordable, and accessible for all.

When you take away abortion access, you don’t just compromise health outcomes β€” you compromise economic futures. πŸ‘Ž

Fetal personhood laws take away pregnant people's rights, ban abortion, and threaten IVF. They give an embryo, fetus, or fertilized egg the same legal protections as an actual living person, and prioritize the fetus over the pregnant person. It's not about safety or protection β€” it's about control.πŸ’―

Don't get duped by fake clinics! Pregnancy resource centers, aka crisis pregnancy centers, are not real health care providers.

You deserve honest information to help you make the best decision for your body and your future. Use abortionfinder.org to ensure you're connecting with a real provider.

The fights for abortion, birth control, and gender-affirming care are all connected by the same belief that everyone deserves the power to control their own bodies and decide their own futures. Our movement is stronger when we work together. πŸ€πŸ’—πŸŒˆ

Gov. Whitmer reaffirms EMTALA protections for pregnant women Earlier this month, the federal administration rescinded guidance covering pregnant women under EMTALA. Whitmer says it's still in effect in Michigan.

"In Michigan, reproductive freedom is a constitutional right, but it is not a right we can take for granted. PPMI remains committed to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom until all people have control over their lives, their bodies, and their futures.” – Paula Thornton Greear

PPMI's health centers provide care to over 50,000 patients annually. So when anti-abortion lawmakers talk about "defunding" Planned Parenthood, what they really mean is taking away access to essential sexual and reproductive health care for tens of thousands of Michiganders!

Planned Parenthood of Michigan closing 4 clinics, cutting 10% of staff Planned Parenthood of Michigan is closing clinics in Marquette, Petoskey, and Jackson, and consolidating two Ann Arbor centers into one. It’s also cutting 10% of staff.

β€œI take it very seriously, and I know that there are real-life impacts for our staff and our patients. We are making these changes because of the pressures that we are under with the Trump administration in place. This is not a position I wish we were in, but that is the reality." –Dr. Sarah Wallett

Trump admin cuts tens of millions from Planned Parenthood The Title X funds were earmarked for birth control and other non-abortion services.

The Trump admin withholding Title X funds further strips health care from people across this country. We know what happens when Title X funding is taken away: cancer goes undetected, birth control access is severely reduced, and the STI crisis worsens. People will suffer.

Trans joy is the feeling that your trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse identity is a gift. There are many ways that people experience trans joy and they all deserve to be celebrated!

Trans joy is the feeling that your trans, nonbinary, or gender-diverse identity is a gift. There are many ways that people experience trans joy and they all deserve to be celebrated!

What are some examples of trans joy?
β€’Finding community with other trans individuals
β€’Medically transitioning if desired
β€’Someone using the right pronouns for you
β€’Expressing your gender identity through clothing
β€’Doing things that affirm your gender for you

Why is trans joy important?
β€’It's a form of resistance to those targeting trans identities.
β€’It can instill confidence and a voice for trans individuals to advocate for themselves.
β€’It can strengthen one's whole identity when living with intersections of multiple identities.
