Co-sign! Tracking your period (if you can) is really important for detecting unintended pregnancies as early as possible and giving you the most options for accessing abortion care. Period tracking apps are very low risk. It's DMs/texts and search history you need to worry about.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama.
It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them.

The insinuation that having adequate public services to support pregnant women and babies would make it OK to force women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term is absurd. This is about personal autonomy no matter your personal circumstances.

Reminder: there’s no point in pregnancy that the government is better positioned to make decisions about your health and body than you are. #Debate2024 #PresidentialDebate2024

I'll just say this. Back when we were shlepping to Hill offices to share our later abortion story and ask for support against viability bans, there was one single Senate office that had an actual reproductive rights lawyer on staff. And that Senator was Kamala Harris.

Have you heard? At 10am TODAY, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case challenging #mifepristone access. So...
Alina Luke retweeted
What is #mifepristone and how is it used? Why is mifepristone access important for #repro health? Why is the recent Texas ruling a concerning precedent re: the #FDA? Our experts break down these questions and more in our new Q&A with @EmoryRollins!

Ballot measures to protect abortion access and reproductive freedom are UNDEFEATED tonight.
5-0.
The pundits were wrong. Abortion matters. Abortion motivated. Abortion won.

Banning or restricting abortion doesn’t reduce the need for abortion care — it only blocks access to it. From the #WeCount report, it's clear that our work to build abortion equity across the nation has just begun. societyfp.org/wecount/
In July and August of 2022 there were 5,270 and 5,400 fewer abortions, respectively,
than in April. That’s 10,600 people’s lives turned upside down by abortion bans.

"With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."

Reproductive freedom includes the freedom to raise your children free from threats of gun violence & free from the anxiety of wondering if their elementary school is next. Enough is enough. We’re united in this fight. We refuse to live like this anymore.
