Reproductive justice advocates have said for decades that Roe v. Wade was never enough. So why did so much of the reproductive rights movement organize itself around protecting Roe anyway?

If ‘Roe’ Was Never Enough, Why Was It Everything? (Podcast)

The public health data was there. The reproductive justice framework was there. So why did Roe v. Wade become the center of gravity of the abortion rights movement?

No, there is no “middle ground” on abortion.  There is no middle ground for my patients who can’t be pregnant.  There is no middle ground for my patients who don’t want to be pregnant.  There is no middle ground for my patients who need abortions to parent the children they already have.

I will say this plainly: the Department of Education’s exclusion of nursing as a professional degree is a direct attack on the people who hold our health care system together, and it’s an attack shaped by race, class, and power. It is unacceptable. www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin

The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

Nearly 42 million Americans rely on SNAP for food stability. 6.7 million new parents depend on WIC to care for their families. As a physician, I am deeply alarmed about what is unfolding.🧵

Also, while implied, it also needs to be implicitly said: Not all people who get abortions are women and girls. In Canada, the rates of teen pregnancy in trans youth is same as cis girls. No data is kept on trans masc ppl which is unacceptable

“I was with you, until you said ‘pregnant people.’” I get this a lot. I’m an abortion provider, and the CEO and President of an org known for abortion advocacy. Let’s talk about why I use inclusive language — and why I’m not stopping. 🧵

For nearly 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has been used to deny people with public insurance the ability to access abortion care. In DC, the Dornan Amendment takes it a step further: it strips an entire city of the right to use its own funds to take care of its residents when the government fails.

Science, not politics, should guide medical care. Yet the Trump administration and RFK Jr. are spreading false claims about Tylenol that create fear and confusion for pregnant patients. Know this: The science is settled. Tylenol is safe in pregnancy. Thank you for having me @msnbc.com.

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

Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 11mo ago

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"

‼️THIS IS NOT A DRILL! Congress is one House vote away from passing Trump's “big beautiful bill”—a federal government funding bill that would destroy Medicaid and DEVASTATE reproductive health care across the country, forcing Planned Parenthood's vital health centers to close.

Another attack on our rights, another attempt to dismantle access to essential health care. The Senate's vote to "defund" Planned Parenthood is a backdoor abortion ban with real and devastating consequences.

The Supreme Court just made it easier for states to block people on Medicaid from getting care at Planned Parenthood. Not because the care isn't safe. Not because it isn't needed. But because of who those patients are.

Remember: #Mifepristone is safe, well-researched & effective. These anti-science, anti-choice extremists don’t want you to know that. That’s why they’re going to great lengths to spread misinformation about one of the most studied prescriptions. Make it make sense. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

When you’re pregnant and in a medical emergency, you deserve care immediately. But today, the Trump administration made that harder by rescinding EMTALA’s guidance around abortion care. Let’s call this what it is: an abandonment of responsibility to the lives of pregnant people.

A healthy, sustainable planet will result in healthier pregnancies, healthier mamas, healthier babies, and ultimately, healthier families. Reproductive Justice doesn’t just intersect environmental justice - Reproductive Justice *requires* environmental justice.

We are losing clinicians—fast. People are leaving states with abortion bans. Medical students & residents choose not to train or practice in places where they can't provide evidence-based care. Dobbs + dangerous abortion bans are exacerbating what was already an urgent, dire shortage of providers.

Medicaid covers doctor visits, prescriptions, care for millions of children, veterans, people with disabilities and working adults. This is a fight for our families. Don’t stay silent—demand Congress votes “NO” to Medicaid cuts. Call NOW: 866-426-2631.

And hey, abortion providers? I see you. I see you holding your head high as you past those clinic harassers and into a long day. I see you moving mountains to get one patient the care they need. I see you worry, are tired, and show up anyway. That’s the work, isn’t it? We bend so we don’t break.
