(2/2) “What does cause harm is medical misinformation. As healthcare providers and reproductive health experts it is our duty to stand by the science and help our patients make informed decisions about their own healthcare."

"Acetaminophen remains the safest way to treat pain and fever in pregnancy, both of which can cause harm to the pregnant person and their fetus. And the science is clear - acetaminophen does not cause autism.” (1/2)

The result: fewer options, longer waits and higher barriers mean more patients are not getting the most effective forms of birth control. Only 34% of nearby providers offer same-day IUDs/implants, the gold standard for people who can’t take extra time off work or childcare.

🚨A new Journal of the American Medical Association perspective shows how cutting Planned Parenthood from Medicaid severely limits birth control access, especially IUDs and implants, for low-income patients.

Stalking is not “romantic” and it has no place in any relationship. Healthy relationships are consensual -- built on trust, respect, and open communication. Stalking is the exact opposite.

If you believe you may be in an unhealthy relationship or situation, text LOVEIS to 22522.

Birth control is healthcare. It helps people manage chronic conditions, plan their futures, prevent pregnancy, and stay in control of their health.

Let’s be clear: Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas health centers are NOT closing.

We’ve faced this challenge before. When Texas “defunded” Planned Parenthood health centers in 2021, we adapted, persisted, and continued to provide care for patients counting on us.

One in three Planned Parenthood health centers could be forced to close, cutting off access to essential reproductive healthcare services like cancer screenings, birth control, wellness exams, STI testing and treatment, and more.

BREAKING: Both the U.S. House and Senate passed a bill to “defund” Planned Parenthood. It now heads to President Trump’s desk.

This bill is a blatant political attack on reproductive healthcare and the millions of people who depend on Planned Parenthood.
