Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Dr. Shelley Sella on Her New Book: Beyond Limits β€” rePROs Fight Back There are many reasons why someone may require a third-trimester abortion, including both fetal implications and maternal implications (such as health diagnoses and difficult life circumstances). …

Today, there are more providers of all-trimester abortion care. It was not like this 10 or 15 years ago, so this is a much-needed improvement. @doctorshelleysella.bsky.social #AbortionIsHealthcare @reprosfightback.bsky.social

Quote graphic featuring gold, yellow, and dark purple paper scrapbook elements in the background, as well as a sunflower, ladybug, and sparrow. The quote reads, in a typewriter-inspired typeface: β€œWhen you draw a line [to criminalize pregnancy outcomes], it's going to be policed. And that's what we're doing, and we're seeing the consequences of that. And to be clear, this is not something that started when Roe was overturned. This has been going on for decades and decades and decades.” The quote is attributed to Amy Littlefield, abortion access correspondent for the Nation and author of the new book Killers of Roe: My Investigation into the Mysterious Death of Abortion Rights.
