As @prh.org fellow, Dr. Verma, said “ we should not pretend that this is an issue of the science.” @acog.org: “complication or death risk from an abortion procedure “is less than the same risk from common procedures like wisdom tooth removal, cancer-screening colonoscopy, and plastic surgery.”

During a recent U.S. Senate committee hearing, Ohio Republican U.S. Sen. Jon Husted spoke against the abortion pill, a target of the Trump administration as well as legislation at the Ohio Statehouse.

Anyway, in conclusion, at this very moment, someone in red America is taking abortion medications out of a bulk supply in their closet and putting it in a nondescript envelope to mail. This will continue to happen regardless of what the Senate does or doesn't do next.

Third and final witness is Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN who provides care in Georgia & Massachusetts and is a fellow with @prh.org. "Holding space for complexity is important -- but discomfort with abortion care should not be used as an excuse to distort facts."

Louisiana AG Liz Murrill bemoans that telemedicine Rx plus shield laws allowing Rx across state lines lead to 900 abortions a month in LA; some folks later go to emergency room. Evidence-based witness from @prh.org later notes people are ordering pills BECAUSE states like Louisiana banned abortion

Bernie Sanders: Who should make the decision regarding her own body? Shall it be a woman to be the United States Senate, governors, Attorney Generals? Who should make that decision?
Nisha Verma M.D., M.P.H., FACOG: I do want to highlight some misinformation that we've been hearing around the source of some of the harm that we're seeing right now. A lot of the cases that we're hearing about are a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. People are desperate because they cannot get the care that they need in their communities with their trusted clinicians and people in their communities in the way that they need. And that is why we are seeing these cases come up. It is a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. Access makes people safer.

@prh.org is hiring a full-time physician Reproductive Health Advocacy Fellow — someone ready to use medical expertise to take on policy, misinformation, + the systems that harm our patients. If you’re a clinician who wants to practice medicine *and* shape it, take a look. 🔗 prh.org/careers/#fel...

Folks, it’s high time we cleared something up: abortion pills and “morning after” pills are two different things. You take the morning after pill when you have the ingredients for tacos. You take abortion pills when you have an existing taco you don’t want to or can’t have.

if you are “pro-choice” and also transphobic, you are not serious about undoing the control, white supremacy, and patriarchy that make abortion bans possible and you are certainly no ally to bodily autonomy or self-determination

Abortion is health care, but it can also be an act of hope or a prayer or a wish or a Hail Mary for the lives patients want to protect or build or keep imagining. Some people don’t want to be pregnant, they have an abortion, they go on to lead the lives they imagined. Abortion is worth celebrating.

The same bs they're spewing about autism and tylenol is the same bs they're spewing about trans people's healthcare. It's the exact same playbook and the fact that the media can see through one and not the other is a damning indictment of how complicit they are in the attack on trans lives.

Gotta say we when we worked our ass off to get into to medical school and complete the arduous journey of residency, we didn’t expect to spend so much time defending science and medicine from a *checks notes* whale carcass kidnapper

Our patients trust us to protect their health and dignity. Political assaults like those from RFK Jr. and the Trump administration only heighten obstetric pain and violence and endanger lives. As physicians, we stand by the evidence: Tylenol is safe. @prh.org

Trump, citing no evidence at all, suggests Tylenol during pregnancy is linked to autism He says the FDA will recommend pregnant women avoid using the painkiller unless “medically necessary"

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

Abortion rights shouldn’t be a bargaining chip lawmakers use to negotiate what they consider to be “legitimate” political issues. Abortion is inextricably linked with economic, climate, and health care policy. It is a legitimate political issue. You bend on abortion, you’ll bend on anything.

Physicians for Reproductive Health (@prh.org) published resources for health care workers to prepare for ICE or law enforcement presence at their facility: "It is our collective duty as health care providers to do everything we can to protect our community members, regardless of immigration status"

Resources for Providers to Prepare for ICE Presence at Health Care Facilities

With health care settings vulnerable to immigration enforcement actions, it’s time to get prepared.

The Trump administration announced a new initiative aimed at getting noncitizens disenrolled from the Medicaid program & CHIP. @reprorightsdoc.bsky.social of @prh.org warned that the initiative will "have a chilling effect" on those seeking care. www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...
