California legislators have passed one of the strongest measures so far to protect health care providers operating under shield laws.
California Passes Bill Allowing Omission of Patients’ Names From Abortion Pill Bottles
The intent is to protect health care providers who send the pills to patients in states with abortion bans, and to reassure patients who fear they could be identified.

"The landscape is fraught. It’s dangerous. ... it’s deeply divided in terms of access by geography ... where you live dictates your own reproductive autonomy." - Arneta Rogers, executive director of the Center on Reproductive Rights and Justice @crrjberkeley.bsky.social on the Voices Carry podcast.

🖤 #BIAW2025 is a reminder: infertility is a human rights issue — and Black communities deserve care that affirms, informs, and supports.

Support organizations like BMMA that are pushing for systems and solutions that center Black reproductive futures.

Reproductive healthcare behind bars was dismal even before Roe v. Wade ended.

Here are four women’s stories about the unevenness, indifference — and even cruelty — of reproductive healthcare in U.S. prisons and jails.
Abortion Is Just One Part of a Larger Story About Pregnancy Behind Bars
Abortion is just one part of a greater story about how indifferent — and even cruel — reproductive healthcare can be in prisons and jails.

Everyone deserves to start their family on their own terms, but Black women face barriers and inequities in access to fertility care. This Black (in)Fertility Awareness Week, I join Sister Song & @blackmamasmatter.bsky.social in calling for solutions.

Disability Justice is Reproductive Justice. Our fight for bodily autonomy is one & the same. Reproductive Justice means we ALL have the power & resources to make informed decisions about our own bodies. That includes people with disabilities. That includes all of us.

Massive federal funding cuts pose new challenges to California's work to remain a state with robust abortion access.

Dr. Theresa Cheng urged Californians to “stay stalwart in protecting reproductive health" in @sfchronicle.com
No, California is not guaranteed to remain an abortion haven
OPINION: “The closing of five Planned Parenthood clinics in California reveals limits of the state’s ability to remain an abortion haven,” says senior political writer Joe Garofoli.

Read @sho-walter.bsky.social’s full story on pregnant patients reported for positive drug tests:
She Ate a Poppy Seed Salad Just Before Giving Birth. Then They Took Her Baby Away.
Hospitals use drug tests that return false positives from poppy seed bagels, decongestants and Zantac. Yet newborns are being taken from parents based on the results.

No one should ever have to travel far to access basic health care.

But after Roe was overturned, the average travel time to access abortion care grew by 8.5 hours, and more than half of respondents said their abortion care required an overnight hotel stay.

The ADA was signed into law 35 years ago today, and remains the most comprehensive civil rights law protecting people with disabilities.

This anniversary comes at a time when the health and dignity of disabled people are under attack by the Trump administration.

On #WorldIVFDay, we assert the crucial link between #IVF and abortion, both vital decisions between a patient and their doctor, that should be free from political interference. History shows us that when abortion is restricted, IVF is restricted too. @msmagazine.com

Research confirms abortion bans spike travel costs and delay care where restrictions exist, yet 97% of patients remain resolute in accessing abortion. Only 3% in the study chose to carry to term. Dive deeper in @acvollers.bsky.social's piece for @rewirenewsgroup.com here: bit.ly/4f0wtRO

BMMA had the joy of supporting Women Engaged for their Justice Jam & Community Fair in ATL this past June 2025!

We shared our work in Black Maternal Health, with a focus on our policy initiatives, & had great conversations with community members eager to learn more.
