It’s not too early to get a head start on your CME credits for 2026, which is easier than ever with on-demand Society Education, included with Society membership.
🖥️ Explore the full catalog of evidence-based clinical education on Society Education today: education.societyfp.org/Public/Catal...
We hope you will explore the directory, share it widely with your networks, and if you meet the standards and qualifications (or know a colleague who does), reach out about becoming a COE. (3/3)

Last year, we launched the first publicly available national directory of COEs, which has since expanded to include more than 180 clinicians across 38 states and DC. Every new COE added to the directory represents increased access to this essential, evidence-informed, person-centered clinical care.

Bernie Sanders: Who should make the decision regarding her own body? Shall it be a woman to be the United States Senate, governors, Attorney Generals? Who should make that decision? Nisha Verma M.D., M.P.H., FACOG: I do want to highlight some misinformation that we've been hearing around the source of some of the harm that we're seeing right now. A lot of the cases that we're hearing about are a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. People are desperate because they cannot get the care that they need in their communities with their trusted clinicians and people in their communities in the way that they need. And that is why we are seeing these cases come up. It is a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. Access makes people safer.
Louisiana AG Liz Murrill bemoans that telemedicine Rx plus shield laws allowing Rx across state lines lead to 900 abortions a month in LA; some folks later go to emergency room.
Evidence-based witness from @prh.org later notes people are ordering pills BECAUSE states like Louisiana banned abortion
ICYMI, the Society invited Mitch Creinin, MD & Dave Turok, MD, MPH to unpack the “science” behind the EPPC paper, concluding, “The report is not a scientific study, does not represent any true scientific findings, and is simply propaganda that claims to be science.” societyfp.org/wp-content/u...

Third and final witness is Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN who provides care in Georgia & Massachusetts and is a fellow with @prh.org.
"Holding space for complexity is important -- but discomfort with abortion care should not be used as an excuse to distort facts."
For those of you tuning into today’s Senate HELP hearing, I’d like to set the record straight on AG Murrill’s testimony and remind us that #abortionishealthcare (1/5):

Another big day medication abortion policy: the Senate’s health panel is set to dive into the debate over the safety of mifepristone (spoiler: it is extremely safe!)
But because I simply *cannot* help myself, some quick facts...
White text on a blue background says, Medication abortion facts. Below is a list outlining that 'mife' (aka mifepristone) is FDA-approved, safe and effective, backed by 25+ years of evidence, used in over half of US abortions and can be sent by mail via telehealth.
At today’s Senate HELP Committee hearing on #mifepristone, expect a flood of junk science and false claims from anti-abortion lawmakers and witnesses.
Don't fall for their rhetoric.
Mife is safe, effective and backed by 25 years of rigorous research.
Medication abortion is safe, and we have more than two decades of evidence to prove it. The only thing unsafe?
Politicians who ignore safety and science—and the opinion of a majority of Americans—to push extremist agendas. @ANRISH has the facts: www.ansirh.org/research/she...
