Before things start getting wild: thank you.
We are so deeply grateful for our community. We'll always have abortions. We'll always have each other.

While politicians opposing abortion rights move to ban/limit access, a groundswell of determined individuals across the nation is rising up in defiance.✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
We REFUSE to allow them to strip away our fundamental freedom to make our own choices about our bodies & our destinies.

No one should have to travel hundreds of miles to access basic healthcare. Everyone should have access to abortion care, no matter where they live.
We know focusing on getting folks out of state for abortion care seems like the best remedy for this reality, but the truth is not everyone can leave the state. When we operate from a reproductive justice lens, we show up fully for everyone in our communities. ✊🏽 #DeepSouth

No one should ever have to leave their state to access essential health care like abortion.

We would simply not be posting about health insurance if we were directly responsible for a bunch of people losing their health insurance, because we laid them all off. Then again we would never lay off everyone but management, because that’s disgusting!
However we feel about abortion, politicians shouldn’t be allowed to deny someone’s coverage for it just because they’re working to make ends meet – And the majority of folks agree. 👇
