Californians deserve a senator who is ready to get to work. @GavinNewsom should appoint @BarbaraLeeForCA

Excited to get this paper out into the world! Primary care providers can & should provide abortions. Family docs agree not only is providing abortion care within their scope, it aligns with the values that brought them to family medicine in the first place.bit.ly/3N6CDm5
Family medicine is defined by core values of caring for the whole person and adapting to evolving needs of patients and communities. New research from @dehlendorfmd and @SarahMWulf of @UCSFFamilyMed explores how those values relate to abortion care bixbycenter.ucsf.edu/news/fa…

Almost 1 yr since Roe was overturned, study in @JAmBoardFamMed examines how #familymedicine can help reduce strain on inundated #abortion clinics; finds family physicians overwhelmingly believe that providing abortion aligns w/the specialty's core values. bit.ly/3N6CDm5

Come join me tomorrow for a canvass and rally event for @JoshHarder! Josh is one of California’s most vulnerable Democrats running for re-election, so we need all hands on deck to get out the vote. I look forward to seeing you! mobilize.us/bl22/event/53293…
What is this Administration going to do to help people get abortions in states where abortion is illegal between now & Jan 2023? And what are they going to do after that when we still don’t have 60 votes to pass the WHPA, regardless of how successful Dems are in Nov?
Kamala Harris is asked if the administration can “expand abortion access or abortion services on federal land”

I just spoke with @ewarren, who suggested the Biden administration establish Planned Parenthood outposts on the edges of national parks. "They could put up tents, have trained personnel -- and be there to help people who need it." "It's time to declare a medical emergency."

People seeking abortion should NEVER be intimidated from getting the health care they need, when they need it. AbortionFinder.org is here to help folks across the country access abortion, and we're not going anywhere.
Unlike 1972, in 2022 we have safe and effective abortion pills that put the power back in people’s hands. Plus, we’ve got technology to connect with people and provide the medical and emotional support they deserve, no matter where they are.

Had a great time today breaking bread and eating strawberries at the grand opening of the West Oakland Farmers’ Market with @BLeeForCongress, @AlexPadilla4CA and Diego! Remember to vote 🗳 in the June 7th CA primary! #GOTV

Thank you Oakland and Team Lee for showing up and turning out for the #BansOffOurBodies rally today. Grateful to have @BLeeForCongress - a fierce advocate for abortion rights, head of the Pro-Choice Caucus, and abortion storyteller - representing us in DC. #AbortionIsEssential
When I got an abortion, I was fearful for my life. Roe v. Wade didn’t exist and I knew septic abortions were a leading cause of death for Black women. Thankfully, I survived. We can’t go back to a time where Roe doesn’t exist. We must organize and fight back.

Turns out there was good reason to interrupt the Kavanaugh hearing with the chant, “Save Roe, Vote No.” Wish I was in DC today and grateful to those who are. #AbortionIsEssential

The Dem majority needs to act now. Nix the filibuster, pass the Women's Health Protection Act, and #ExpandTheCourt.

When this policy was announced, @SarahMWulf wrote in @thehill that it "attacks abortion access while simultaneously adding to this administration’s laundry list of efforts to weaken the ACA." thehill.com/blogs/congress-b…
BREAKING: The Biden admin moves to rolls back another Trump admin anti-abortion policy -- this time the requirement that health insurance plans on the ACA exchanges bill enrollees separately for abortion coverage public-inspection.federalreg…
The evidence suggests you should just say the word abortion! @PressSec @POTUS
Rather than saying "abortion," some leaders use euphemisms—but our latest research shows that using the word “abortion" is often more effective than just using general public health language when sharing scientific evidence on abortion: bit.ly/3uIIcM9
