About Tuesday night...I went to NYC to celebrate rePROs Fight Back winning a Gold Anthem Award for Podcast or Audio in the DEI category. I'm feeling so proud of our team and just so honored to have our hard work recognized. #AnthemAwards
While I was off for the holidays & taking a bit of a break from social, we released a fun episode of @reprosfightback.bsky.social that y'all should check out. We had amazing advocates ( Lupe Rodriguez, @mclemoremr.bsky.social, Samira Damavandi, and me) share their repro hero origin story. #podcast

This means the VA won't cover abortions EVEN in the case of rape, incest, or serious threat to the health of the patient.

The DOJ memo was authored by Josh Craddock, one of the chief legal advocates for fetal personhood, i.e. imposing a nationwide abortion ban through the courts.
🚨🚨 SCOOP @ms.now : The Department of Veteran Affairs has quietly implemented its abortion ban following a DOJ memo issued last week.

This will affect 9 million veterans and their dependents, and has been a long time coming: It was outlined in Project 2025.

8 years ago today we launched the @reprosfightback.bsky.social podcast. If you had told me then that I would be doing this 8 years & almost 300 episodes later I would not have believed you. But here we are a multi-award winning podcast. I am so proud of what we built and I feel so lucky 🍀

Another disaster. This one has actual harmful consequences for trans kids and their families.
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

Medicaid is a lifeline for rural maternal care, covering nearly half of births. Yet the GOP budget bill is designed to widen "maternity care deserts," forcing rural hospitals, clinics, and L&D units to close. Women and birthing people in rural communities need access to care close to home.

This week on @reprosfightback.bsky.social I talk to Ashley Kurzweil and Sarah Coombs at the @npwf.bsky.social on the threats facing rural hospitals especially their Labor & Delivery units & what these threats will mean to the patients who rely on rural hospitals. #podcast
Impending Medicaid cuts, the GOP megabill’s 'defunding' of Planned Parenthood, and frozen #TitleX grant funding are fueling rural health clinic closures. This week, Ashley Kurzweil and Sarah Coombs at NPWF talk with us about the future of rural hospitals and clinics and the patients they care for.

Mifepristone is one of the safest, most studied medications in the United States.

No amount of misinformation from anti-abortion groups changes that.
