GOP Wants to Mandate “Fetal Development Education.” It’s Anti-Abortion Nonsense. Republicans can’t seem to convince adults to vote against abortion, so they’re trying to brainwash kids instead.

"If abortion opponents really wanted the nation’s children to be properly educated about anatomy and biology, they wouldn’t be opposed to comprehensive sex education. They wouldn’t be attacking transgender youth and eradicating their access to health care..."

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.

Your mental health matters as much as your physical health. Today and every day, remember to check in with yourself and the people you care about. 💕 #WorldMentalHealthDay

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.

Multi colored text graphic that states "No one should lose their rights or control over their own body just because they're pregnant.

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 — it's about control.💯

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.

Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care — no matter who they are, where they live, how much money they make, or their immigration status. 💚 💯

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. 🤝💗🌈

Everyone Deserves Access To: • Cancer screenings • Birth control • Gender-affirming care • STI testing and treatment • Sex education • Wellness exams • High-quality, affordable health care

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!

Mifepristone is safe, effective, and has been used by more than 7.5 million people in the United States for abortion and miscarriage care since the FDA approved it nearly 25 years ago.

Despite politically motivated attacks from the Trump Admin, access to mifepristone remains available at all of our health centers. Visit PPMI.org to make an appt.

We'll continue doing everything we can to provide safe, legal reproductive health care — including abortion — to anyone who needs it. 💙

The freedom to make decisions about your own body is a basic human right that deserves government protection — not government interference. #BansOff

My Abortion Was My Lifeline—Getting It Felt Like A Battle For Survival I knew I needed an abortion, a clear decision that should have been simple. Instead, 13 weeks of hell navigating Ohio's barriers showed me firsthand the cruel reality many Black women like me are forc...

"This is America, after all — where racist, sexist policies are so deeply embedded into our institutions that they shape who gets access to essential care and who gets left behind."

Black birthing people are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white birthing people. This #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, we’re calling for action and accountability because protecting Black communities means confronting racism in health care and investing in real solutions. 🖤

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.

“I 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

In the face of historic threats and cuts to federal funding, PPMI is reducing its brick-and-mortar footprint and reorganizing operations statewide to ensure long-term sustainability and access to essential reproductive health care in Michigan.

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.

Graphic image wth gray background and a combination of black, blue, pink, and white elements asking "what is trans joy?"

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? •Finding community with other trans individuals •Medically transitioning if desired •Someone using the right pronouns for you •Expressing your gender identity through clothing •Doing things that affirm your gender for you

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

Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) is dedicated to lifting and celebrating trans identities and the joy that gender-diverse people find in expressing their gender identity. Today and every day, we celebrate that joy with our trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse friends! 🤗 Happy #TDOV!

Trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse people get abortions and their unique experiences deserve to be included in the conversation. 💬
