Today, a federal court is hearing arguments in Louisiana v. FDA, a case brought by anti-abortion politicians with the goal of limiting access to mifepristone nationwide.

Men rely on Planned Parenthood health centers for essential health care, too: STI testing and treatment, cancer screenings, wellness exams, birth control, and more.

β€œDefunding” Planned Parenthood takes away care from everyone.

When Planned Parenthood health centers are forced to close, patients don’t magically get care elsewhere. They lose access – full stop. Patients deserve better than deception – they deserve Planned Parenthood.

Let us be clear – when Planned Parenthood health centers close, patients lose access to real, comprehensive health care – including contraception and cancer screenings.

Most CPCs aren’t legitimate medical clinics, and use lies, shame and fear to manipulate patients at their most vulnerable moments.

The Planned Parenthood Closed. A Christian Clinic Seized the Moment.

The @nytimes.com confirmed what we’ve been saying all along: crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) cannot replace Planned Parenthood health centers as a trusted health care provider.

🚨TAKE ACTION🚨

Yesterday, HHS announced TWO proposed rules that aim to severely restrict access to best-practice health care for trans youth. Starting today, the public has 60 DAYS to comment on the rules.

NEW: The Trump administration announced a harmful new proposal that would block access to essential gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth across the country.

If this discriminatory regulation moves forward, we will see this administration in court.

Gender-affirming care for young people is based on decades of clinical research and backed by the leading U.S. medical associations.

This is cruelty, plain and simple. We’re holding our trans and nonbinary communities extra close today. 🩡🩷🀍🩷🩡

This is a direct attack on expert providers who deliver medically necessary care for transgender and nonbinary patients.

The goal is clear: threaten doctors and health care providers with jail time to stop them from giving patients the life-saving and evidence-based health care they need. (1/2)

Despite its recognition of the β€œdeleterious effects” of the β€œdefunding,” which jeopardizes care for 1.1M Planned Parenthood patients, the First Circuit nevertheless overturned a lower court’s preliminary injunction blocking the law from being enforced. Proceedings on the merits of the case continue.

With the December 31 deadline approaching to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, yesterday’s failed Senate votes could leave millions of people’s health care hanging in the balance because of political games.

#WeCount report, April 2022 to June 2025 - Society of Family Planning The Society of Family Planning is the source for abortion and contraception science.

While (of course) not everyone has been able to access the abortions they want, this data paints a promising picture of just how determined providers, patients, and activists are.
