6/ @kimyaf.bsky.social and I wrote a report highlighting some of the big changes in travel for abortion care from two states (Texas and Florida) www.guttmacher.org/report/patte...

Choosing to do this the day after PA’s Election Day when it’s almost at the end of the 30-day period for appeal is telling! Pennsylvanians, and the public writ large, supports abortion access. triblive.com/news/pennsyl...

Criminalization of pregnancy outcomes isn’t hypothetical or a potential scary future— it is here, and it’s been here. www.cnn.com/2026/05/16/u...

A stillbirth and Facebook post expressing her grief landed her in prison for over 2 years. Experts say it’s part of a pattern | CNN

Patience Rousseau’s case fits into an emerging pattern where women are criminalized – even in states where abortion is legal – by prosecutors reaching for antiquated statutes or laws never intended to...

In a new @advocate.com op-ed, @kimyaf.bsky.social and Meera Rajput of the National LGBTQ Taskforce highlight the connections between policy attacks on abortion and gender-affirming care. Read more: https://gu.tt/3Q5eqBG

Sam Alito bringing up a truly random hypothetical about a boy born to an undocumented Iranian man in the birthright citizenship case is soooooooo Sam Alito

feels appropriate today. h/t @anthonymkreis.bsky.social

The only way to ensure that people in medical emergencies or who have experienced violence can get the care they need is expanding and protecting abortion care for all, say Isabel Guarnieri and @kimyaf.bsky.social.

Separating Abortion and Pregnancy-Loss Care Harms Everyone

New bills seek to reinforce a false binary between abortion care and care for pregnancy loss, but this will only harm pregnant patients and further restrict access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare.

Just popping up here to say it’s been really hard to go about business as usual in life while there’s a war in my homeland and my family is at risk daily 😕 and on top of that it’s Norooz and nothing ever slows down 😭

"In 2026, #MedicationAbortion remains one of the central battlegrounds in the fight over reproductive autonomy"—Guttmacher expert @kimyaf.bsky.social on the nearly 200 anti-abortion state bills introduced this year, many of which target abortion pills.

Bills cracking down on abortion pills advance in states that already ban most abortions

Even though many legislative sessions only just convened across the country this month, efforts to restrict access to abortion pills are in full swing, particularly in states that already ban abortion...

I barely post on here and usually only post repro stuff through my work, but the protests in Iran are weighing on me heavily. As an Iranian, it is sad to see our suffering and the mass murders of protesters in Iran be used by so many for their advantage. The people deserve freedom & democracy!

A bit delayed, but extremely proud of my home city of Philly for passing this resolution! whyy.org/articles/abo...

Philly council backs resolution recognizing abortion rights as human rights

Abortion advocates remain unhappy with Philadelphia’s decision to pull funding from abortion providers amid federal challenges.

Today, all eyes are on #SouthCarolina, as legislators consider the most extreme and cruel abortion ban in the country: S323. It’s a total ban with virtually no exceptions. People who have an abortion would be charged with murder, facing up to 30 years in prison.

New analysis: Guttmacher experts Anna Bernstein, @kimyaf.bsky.social & @emmas-e.bsky.social examine how the anti-abortion campaign against state shield laws is part of longstanding efforts to ban abortion nationwide and criminalize patients and providers. gu.tt/3HTgU2t

Shield laws have become a lifeline for abortion patients and providers in the US post-Dobbs, which is precisely why conservative policymakers are turning to the courts, Congress, and state legislatures to attack this critical method of care. 🧵 www.guttmacher.org/2025/09/atta...

Attacks on Shield Laws Are the Next Step in Criminalizing Abortion Care

guttmacher.org

The bills in Texas’ special session represent a coordinated effort to further restrict medication abortion through civil penalties, criminalization and surveillance.     Anti-abortion policymakers want to criminalize people rather than ensuring they can access basic health care.

LABOR Loves Cool J

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last yr.

LL Cool J said that he will not perform at Wawa Welcome America in Philadelphia on July 4th because of union strike “There is absolutely no way I can perform across a picket line”

The most commonly-cited "moderate" positions here are 1) requiring all female athletes from kindergarten through college be subjected to sex testing and 2) replace the best medical judgment of your family pediatrician with Bill Maher's opening monologue

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · last yr.

Also, how is "leave trans people alone and let them live their lives as they have for decades" not the "moderate" position here? Whenever people call for "moderating" on trans issues, they're calling for actively oppressing trans people, actively restricting trans lives.

Guttmacher's new data show that 71% of abortions in Kansas were provided to out-of-state patients in 2024. Our Principal State Policy Adviser @kimyaf.bsky.social spoke w/ @npr.org about shifts curtailing abortion access in the South & Southeast, making states like KS critical for care. gu.tt/42sLK89

Out-of-state patients drove Kansas abortion numbers up in 2024, study finds

Expanded clinic capacity and an influx of people traveling from other states fueled the increase in abortions, according to researchers.

I don’t believe Alito was not actually misreading “Uncle Bobby’s Wedding” at focus in Mahmoud v. Taylor as the character being against gay marriage; very much a purposefully oblivious line of questioning so he could argue the book “promotes” gay marriage from the bench

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · last yr.

This is the text of the email just sent to hundreds of international students telling them that their visas have been revoked due to activism or social media posts.

Truly one of the most terrifying weeks to exist as a person of color in America; feels truly dystopian to just be going forth at our jobs like everything is normal

just profoundly disturbed by the kidnapping and disappearing of people right off the streets of this country. hard to think about much else—and there’s so much else.

Not the biggest deal in the world, but it’s kinda wild how with the greater attention to the various holidays minority groups celebrate, nobody ever considers Norooz. I somehow always have things scheduled on the holidays and like more work and responsibilities than usual on my one main holiday lol

Not to be overly dramatic given the state of the world, but the (even greater) push to return to office led by the Trump admin, but validated by workplaces over the years, is such a bummer. People were getting precious time w/ their kids, the ability to go see family in other states more easily

Struggling with the fact that everyone talks about the need to stand up to fascist forces in our country, but we’ve also built a hierarchical society where people are deeply afraid to stand up to *anyone* in their lives, even in very minor ways

Here’s me in Salon talking about the horrific agenda to criminalize and punish pregnant people, anti-abortion lawmakers ignoring their constituents, and my own careful optimism. Love to be beside @guttmacher.org @kimyaf.bsky.social & @pregnancyjust.bsky.social www.salon.com/2025/02/27/i...

In red states, GOP lawmakers revive an "incredibly regressive" push to treat abortion as murder

In more than 10 states, Republican lawmakers have proposed treating people who obtain abortions as murderers

It actually gives me so much comfort in life that we are all beginners in so many fields. We’ve only tried a small fraction of what’s out there. There’s so much we can still try for the first time, so much life out there

I really do believe that connecting to each other and community and civil society is a major way to combat the loss of democratic values in this country, but our society is so built against that. Nothing that hasn’t been said before, but we’re forced to live for individualism & work
