Texas lawmakers pass bill that curbs mailing of abortion pills into the state The Texas state Senate gave final legislative approval to a bill that would make it easier to sue physicians and distributors who mail abortion pills into the state.

Texas already enacted a near-total abortion ban, despite the devastating consequences it's proven to have.

Now they have taken a disturbing next step. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-s...

Happy Labor Day!

We owe a debt of gratitude to the working families who keep our country running, and the unions that protected them.

Medicaid was signed into law 60 years ago. Trump's big bill is chiseling it back This summer, President Donald Trump has begun to chisel back Medicaid and food stamps. On a July day in 1965, President Lyndon B.

For 60 years, Medicaid has been saving lives and providing healthcare resources to the most vulnerable Americans. Now, the Trump administration is trying to gut it. apnews.com/article/trum...

Wisconsin Supreme Court Strikes Down 1849 Abortion Ban

The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently stood up for abortion rights and officially BLOCKED the state from enforcing that outdated, extreme anti-abortion law!

This is a BIG win for abortion rights in WI and we’re so glad that the state’s Supreme Court delivered a victory for reproductive rights.

There's still time to reach out and call your Senator to tell them to vote NO on Trump's disastrous spending bill.

This bill aims to defund Planned Parenthood, give tax cuts to corporations, and rip away health care services for millions of Americans.

Ohio lawmakers to introduce bill banning abortion, criminalizing the procedure Republican lawmakers in Ohio are planning on introducing a bill on Wednesday that would ban almost all abortions and criminalize the procedure.

In 2023, we stood with Ohioans as they made history as one of the first states in a post-Roe world to codify the right to an abortion through a ballot initiative.

Now, their Republican lawmakers are trying to ignore the will of the voters. abcnews.go.com/Health/ohio-...

It’s time to use our voices, protest, and most importantly, get informed and register to vote. Tyranny thrives on complacency. Democracy requires us to be active.

What historic Medicaid and SNAP cuts in House Republican bill would mean for benefits The House GOP tax bill includes tax breaks primarily for the wealthy, and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. "A lot of people will lose benefits," one expert said.

This radical budget plan will cut critical resources like SNAP and Medicaid for millions of people and leave them struggling to afford food, healthcare, and other necessities. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/05/...

Missouri Supreme Court order reinstates 'de facto abortion ban' across the state β€’ Missouri Independent The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered a judge in Kansas City to lift an injunction that had blocked restrictions on abortion.

This is a dangerous move that takes healthcare decisions away from women and puts them in the hands of politicians.

We will continue to stand side by side with Missourians as they speak up against this ruling and as they fight for reproductive freedom once again.

Now, their Supreme Court is ignoring the will of the people and putting lives at risk by reinstating a near-total abortion ban.

Nearly 1 in 4 out-of-state abortion patients come to Illinois, new report finds Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade in 2022, Illinois has become a major haven for people seeking abortion care in the Midwest and the South.

β€œIllinois is carrying a staggering share of the national need for abortion care."

Year after year, the impact of the Dobbs decision becomes clearer. Abortion bans will not stop people from seeking abortions, and women deserve safe and easy access to care. chicago.suntimes.com/abortion/202...
