What Would It Mean to Defend All Abortions? Democrats love to avoid it, and Republicans love to lie about it. But later-abortion care has never been more important.

I’m so grateful to do this work w/ some amazing humans

Each w/ a unique journey that started by asking questions

What does it look like to defend #AllAbortion?

Does my advocacy live up to the slogan on my t-shirt?

Am I really centering the most impacted?

Alabama Can’t Prosecute Those Who Help With Out-of-State Abortions, Judge Rules The state attorney general had raised the possibility of charging doctors with criminal conspiracy for recommending abortion care out of state.

Some good news out of #Alabama
When things are falling apart- look for the doers!

#AbortionFunds are doers
@YellowFund was back at it within MINUTES!

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

This is a big deal, but it should not be catching ANYONE by surprise

My prediction: The #Repro landscape looks very different in a few yrs. Some will fail, some will survive long enough 2 rebuild, & some will thrive- yes, thrive

Who is ready? 🤷‍♀️👀

Debate over the abortion pill mifepristone resurfaces after Makary is confirmed to head the FDA A pill used in most U.S. abortions has been ensnared in politics for years, and many Americans wonder whether it will be restricted under the new Republican administration in Washington.

Not great!

#Criminalization is popping up fast & furious- see PA & GA & that’s just this week

This guy is for sure going to do the most to eliminate #MedicationAbortion

So team #Access that means get ready & get strategic

Kentucky governor vetoes GOP abortion bill, says it undermines doctors and endangers pregnant women Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has vetoed a bill touted by its Republican supporters as an attempt to bring clarity to the state's near-total abortion ban.

Kudos @govandybeshear.bsky.social

DO NOT be fooled by Republican tactics to seem reasonable. We have decades of evidence 2 tell us EXCEPTIONS are trash. They don’t work

Good work @ppaaeast.bsky.social

Real problems need real solutions

I have had the great pleasure to work w/ & among so many dedicated folks.

It is an honor to be trusted with the health of a population and even more special to be allowed into the vulnerable space that is pregnancy and abortion care.

Today is #AbortionProviderAppreciationDay

“Providers” make appointments& check in pts . They are #AbortionFunds that support care, nurses who start IVs & educators who lend an ear. It’s custodians who keep the space safe & escorts who shield pts from the hate of the judgemental.

We will be “holding the floor” (via megaphone!) from 12-5 on March 11 at HHS by reading landmark healthcare studies to speak out and up for science!

✅Join us on Capitol Hill if you can!
✅Reply with a study you would like read out loud and proud to HHS!

The core of this message has deeply influenced one of my most repeated Colleen-isms…“Leadership isn’t for being liked. It’s for being effective”

With our worlds filled with unqualified but loyal “leaders” it will take the brave- those not worried about fitting in, to turn this ship around - Onward

Gwendolyn Brooks “do not desire to fit in. Desire to oblige yourself to lead”

“To lower morale and with it, production, be pleasant to inefficient workers; give them undeserved promotions. Discriminate against efficient workers; complain unjustly about their work.”

Actually just sounds like any non-profit:

“Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.”

“Hold conferences when there is more critical work to be done.”

“Insist on doing everything through ‘channels.’ Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.”
