With election season comes *dun dun dun* abortion misinformation 😱 Many folks who end up spreading misinformation have no ill intent. So, before sharing sensational news or info about abortion, stop to check who's sharing it and whether there's credible evidence it's true.

Red gradient with a cutout of a phone that reads, "What is misinformation? It can be easy to share incorrect or misleading info about abortion access, even when you have good intentions. Both abortion misinformation & disinformation can prevent people from seeking care & further stigmatize it. Misinformation is a broad term used to describe a piece of false or misleading info being spread, regardless of intent. Disinformation is a form with a deliberate intent to harm, mislead, or manipulate."

Most people criminalized for pregnancy outcomes (abortion or pregnancy loss) were reported by a care professional (45%), but... ⚠️ Providers aren't required to report suspected self-managed abortion, AND ⚠️ In most cases, to do so is a direct violation of HIPAA Maybe try providing support next time?
