If lawmakers practiced evidence-based medicine, half these bans wouldn’t exist.

You can’t separate “medicine” from policy when laws decide who can get care, where, and when.

Healthcare is political because politicians keep legislating our bodies.
November 11, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Reproductive healthcare is primary healthcare. Not “optional,” not “political.”

Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. That’s not biology; it’s systemic bias.

The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate among wealthy countries ... and it’s preventable.

Healthcare shouldn’t depend on your ZIP code, your income, or your governor’s beliefs.

WIC and SNAP keep pregnant people and children fed. Cutting them isn’t “budget reform,” it’s harm.

Rural hospital closures hit pregnant people hardest. Access to OB care is disappearing zip code by zip code.

Every OB-GYN knows: nutrition affects fertility, pregnancy, and recovery. Food access is a public-health issue.

When clinics close, patients don’t stop needing care. They travel, delay, or go without.

41 million Americans rely on SNAP. That’s not laziness ... that’s survival.

Title X clinics serve millions ... often the only reproductive-health resource in entire counties.
November 4, 2025 at 5:03 PM
Patients can’t manage diabetes or anemia without access to healthy food. That’s why cutting SNAP hurts health outcomes.

If you’ve ever used birth control, prenatal care, or cancer screening, you’ve benefited from federal family-planning funding.

You can’t talk about health without talking about hunger. SNAP is healthcare.

A reminder: 1 in 4 people who need abortion care can’t access it because of state restrictions.

Medicaid isn’t a “handout.” It’s the backbone of maternal care in America ... covering nearly half of all births.

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Medical Racism
Pain in Black patients is still under-treated compared to white patients. This is racism, not biology. Change starts by naming the problem. Have you ever felt your pain wasn’t taken seriously? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Fibroids
Fibroids don’t “turn into cancer,” but they can cause pain, bloating, and fertility issues. Regular monitoring keeps symptoms manageable. Did you know they’re non-cancerous tumors? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Birth Control
Skipping placebo pills is safe if you want to avoid having a period. There’s no medical need for withdrawal bleeding on the pill. Would you feel comfortable trying this option? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Pregnancy
Prenatal care should start early. As soon as you get a positive test, call your provider to book your first appointment. Early visits catch risks sooner. How quickly did you book your first prenatal? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Medical Gaslighting
“Your pain isn’t that bad.” If you’ve heard this, it’s gaslighting ... not care. Trust your body and push for answers. Has a provider ever minimized your symptoms? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: STI Testing
Regular STI testing = once a year minimum, sooner with new partners. Full panels can include throat or rectal swabs if needed. When was your last test? #obgyntip

OB/GYN Tip of the Day: Pregnancy Vaccines
Vaccines during pregnancy (flu, COVID, Tdap) protect you and transfer immunity to baby. It’s one of the best gifts you can give before birth. Did you know that? #obgyntip
