Inside the latest, and scariest, iteration of America’s endless abortion wars After Trump’s mass pardons of anti-abortion activists, threats and harassment at clinics have surged.

Bomb threats. Protests of more than a THOUSAND hostile abortion opponents. Nearly 40% of their patients come from out of state. This is the reality of providing abortion care in North Carolina today. A must-read at @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Birth control is basic health care. It should be accessible and affordable for every person who needs it.

Birth control SAVES lives. It should never be up for debate.

Most people will rely on contraception at some point in their lives. It supports chronic condition management, pregnancy prevention, and the ability to plan a future on one’s own terms. ✨🗓️

North Carolina has now gone 218 DAYS WITHOUT A BUDGET. Apparently Republicans are too busy taking away your right to vote and colluding with ICE to terrorize our communities to get around to that. 🤷‍♀️

Newsflash to Republicans: abortion isn't murder. Murder is what ICE did to Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Attacks on abortion are attacks on public health. Full stop.

Stay safe from ICE this weekend, both the winter storm kind and the fascist terror squad kind. 😏

Navy blue text on a yellow background says, "One Year of Project 2025: The Trump administration's ongoing campaign against reproductive health & rights."

Navy blue text on a white background says, "One year in, Project 2025 is serving as the Trump administration’s playbook for undermining sexual & reproductive health & rights." Below is a list of actions taken by the administration, including attacks on abortion and contraception, threats to patient privacy and safety, the weaponization of federal Medicaid dollars, threats to global reproductive health and more.

In his first year back in office, President Trump wasted no time in undermining reproductive health and rights worldwide.

Ciji Graham, a Greensboro police officer, should be alive today. Instead, she died while waiting for a life-saving abortion. This is the reality of our state’s draconian abortion ban.

A Pregnant Woman at Risk of Heart Failure Couldn’t Get Urgent Treatment. She Died Waiting for an Abortion. In a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

NEW: After doctors sent her home with a racing heart, Ciji Graham came to believe the best way to protect her health was to end her pregnancy.

But new restrictions in NC and nearby states made finding an abortion provider difficult.

NC elections board rejects Sunday voting, campus polling sites in handful of counties Twelve counties have failed to reach a unanimous agreement on when and where to host early voting for the March primary election.

NC Republicans are trying to cut Sunday voting and eliminate some campus polling sites because they can't win if people can access the ballot box. We deserve better than politicians who refuse to pass a state budget while trying to take away your right to vote!

How GOP Lawmakers’ Power Transfers Are Reshaping Everything From Utilities to Environmental Regulation in North Carolina The GOP-led North Carolina legislature spent nearly 10 years trying to control the elections board.

The Republicans in the NCGA have spent a decade trying to reshape power in the state so that it remains in their hands, rather than in the hands of the people. Enough is enough. 2026 our chance to reclaim our democracy by electing the progressive, pro-choice women who will fight for it.

Yesterday, our state has lost a great leader and champion with the passing of Gov. Jim Hunt. Throughout his political career and especially during his four terms as Governor, Gov. Hunt championed women’s rights and access to education for all.

We mourn the loss of this true statesman.

NC ranks dead last in the country for school funding effort, new report shows The Education Law Center has released its annual "Making the Grade" report on school funding across the country — and North Carolina is getting an F.

We deserve to have a government that defends our rights, rather than curtails them. Our fundamental right to bodily autonomy--and that includes abortion--is non-negotiable.

NC Republicans are too busy cowering to Trump and plotting to steal congressional seats to PASS A BUDGET FOR OUR STATE. Absolutely unconscionable. Women deserve better and can do better.

Three years after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade and abortion rights in the Southeast have been decimated. North Carolina is the only state with abortion access after 6 weeks, and that's nowhere near enough.

Abortion is health care and we are dedicated to supporting candidates who will fight for it.
