Texas Medical Students: Abortion Provider’s Canceled Talk Is Dangerous Escalation Texas Tech’s recent capitulation to Turning Point USA isn’t just censorship—it’s a threat to patients’ health.

Today, we have an op-ed from Texas leaders of @msfchoice.bsky.social, who say Texas Tech’s recent decision to cancel a talk by third-trimester abortion provider @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social in response to a Turning Point USA pressure campaign goes beyond censorship:

'I'm heartbroken': Trans Kansans struggle with reality as driver’s licenses are invalidated The Kansas Department of Revenue this week sent a letter to Kansans affected by a new law that requires the gender marker on a driver’s license to match a person’s sex at birth.

Trans Kansans received a letter this week stating that if they hadn't complied with a law requiring the gender marker on their driver’s license to match their sex at birth that their licenses are “invalid immediately."

From @kansasreflector.com:

ACLU Files Lawsuit Against Kansas Trans Drivers License Revocations, Bathroom Bounty Hunter Law The lawsuit was filed in state court on Friday.

1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state.

This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process.

Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope.

What’s Going On In the Fight Over Abortion Pills (Podcast) Are conservatives about to get a national ban through the courts?

Louisiana is in federal court today asking a Trump judge to end the distribution of abortion pills by mail nationwide.

Jess Pieklo and I talked about it on our last episode of Boom! Lawyered.

Medical students often seek out their own training in abortion care.⁠ ⁠ We’re preparing future physicians to provide family planning and reproductive health care.⁠ ⁠ Patients deserve care from providers who can guide them through all their options.

Abortion training should be a standard part of medical education, but many medical schools leave this care out of the curriculum.

MSFC fills those gaps by providing family planning education and hands-on abortion care training. 💙 #medstudents #abortioncare
