NIRH Action Fund

Lesbians and bisexual women rely on Medicaid at higher rates than other populations and are now at risk of losing their health insurance under the requirements set to begin in 2026–2027.

No one should be forced to choose between health care or basic needs – all so billionaires can get a tax break.

A meme of the cover for Chappell Roan's "The Subway" where she (labelled "Us") is covered with a bunch of different red hair wigs, and each wig labelled a different social justice issues like "Data Privacy" "Trans Rights" "Birth Control" "Abortion Access" "Birth Justice" "Climate Justice" and "Immigrant Rights"

She may have got away, but the fight for our human rights certainly hasn’t! We’ll have #chappellroan ’s new single on repeat as we continue to unapologetically work to protect bodily autonomy. #thesubway

Abortion bans don’t stop abortions – they make care harder to access! The truth is that the cruelty of abortion bans like Iowa’s force pregnant people to travel to other states to obtain the care they need. This is often only made possible thanks to the dedicated efforts of abortion funds. 📣

There’s no *right* reason to have an abortion.
There’s no *wrong* reason to have an abortion.
There’s just your reason.
And that’s more than enough 💛

What 👏 she 👏 said 👏

Thank you @blairimani.bsky.social for using your voice to reiterate that everyone deserves to live out their reproductive journey in whatever way works best for them without force or coercion.

A meme from Scooby Doo where Fred goes to pull off the mask of a monster (labeled “We just want to help with infertility!”) and says, “Let’s see what the Trump administration really means by this!” And Fred reveals that it’s “Forced Birth”

The facts: 
1. The Trump admin intends to shift the purpose of Title X and use it INSTEAD try to convince women to get pregnant. 
2. The Trump admin plans to encourage people to stop using birth control. 
3. Trump's actions will reduce access to family planning, affordable BC + infertility support.

Do not be fooled – contraceptive deserts are a direct result of oppressive legislation and systematic attacks on our health care system that have existed even under Roe.

We must uplift orgs that are doing the work to expand contraceptive access – go to the last slide and support these orgs <3

Republicans’ decision to pass a bill that defunds Planned Parenthood and guts Medicaid is wreckless and will have disproportionate effects on Black and brown women and families. It’s absolutely unacceptable.

A meme of Superman (2025) where Superman says “Hey buddy!” And then “Men need to fight for bodily autonomy too!”

A meme of Superman (2025) where Superman says “Hey buddy!” And then “There is no such thing as a ‘good abortion ban!’”

A meme of Superman (2025) where Superman says “Hey buddy!” And then “Every person has the right to to give birth and raise their children in safe environments!”

A meme of Superman (2025) where Superman says “Hey buddy!” And then “You deserve to have your data protected, especially when it comes to your health information.”

The real punk rock? Fighting for a future where every person has bodily autonomy and access to the health care they need without fear of criminalization or surveillance. ❤️🙌 #superman

A pregnant woman in Tennessee was DENIED prenatal care – because she wasn’t married. Her doctor cited his Christian values as justification.

At NIRH, we’re fighting back by advancing proactive policies, supporting state and local leaders, and building power.

While Belly navigates her love triangle this summer, we’re continuing to advocate for reproductive freedom in all its forms. We’re #TeamReproHealth all the way (and also #TeamConrad 😌) #tsitp #thesummeriturnedpretty

We need action now! Tell @governor.ny.gov it’s time to sign S4914A/A5480B into law which aims to protect individuals who provide or receive legally protected health care, including reproductive health care and gender-affirming care.

We said what we said!

There is no reason to cut support or resources for trans youth. All of our kids – especially our trans youth – deserve every ounce of support possible. Attacks on trans kids and their families are dangerous, and represent a shameful failure of our government to protect all young people.

Do you know what’s FABULOUS? Being able to access the health care you need! Fun in the sun is no fun at all without your bodily autonomy ☀️

25 congressional Republicans are asking the EPA to test the water supply for abortion pills as a WEIRD conspiracy theory that has nothing to do w protecting the environment. In fact, these are the same ppl that are actively voting AGAINST environment protections.

This #FourthOfJuly, a celebration of freedom, it is vital to ask ourselves what freedom means and what it means to have it. Today, we celebrate the brave people in our movement who refuse to back down in the fight for bodily autonomy.

(5/5) This is the moment to act—not in defense of the status quo, but in pursuit of something stronger.

We will mobilize every tool at our disposal to support policymakers, advocates, and communities in building durable, equitable systems of care—especially in states that are ready to lead.

(4/5) Governors and state legislators must meet this moment with urgency, not hesitation. The National Institute for Reproductive Health Action Fund calls on state and local leaders to take swift, decisive action to mitigate the damage and ensure access to care.

(3/5) This is a crisis. And while the federal government has chosen political theater over public health, states now carry the responsibility—and the opportunity—to lead. This is where the fight turns.

(2/5) This legislation is not just a federal overreach that blows a $3 trillion hole in the nation's deficit—it wages a backdoor war on reproductive health care.
