Our client, Lauren Miller, needed an abortion to save her life and the life of one of her twins. But Texas’s cruel laws forced her to travel out of state at one of the most vulnerable moments of her life.
Now, she's speaking out against several proposed laws in Texas.

People in every single state are still having abortions.
To claim that some states had ‘zero abortions’ is “so clinically dishonest,” said Ushma Upadhyay, who co-chairs #WeCount, which has tracked the number of abortions nationwide since April 2022.

So many things are sad and horrible now, and I miss having voices like Susan's in the world at times like these. But this tribute to her life by the GW student newspaper is lovely and made me smile (through the tears) gwhatchet.com/2025/02/24/w...

Cutting NIH indirects is about stopping “leftist agendas” at universities, not saving taxpayer $$
Yes, the (attempted) NIH indirect rate cap appears in Project 2025. But it's in the chapter on the Department of Education, not HHS. This was always about defunding higher ed, not "bloat" or efficiency. Post-hoc arguments to the contrary is garbage.

Such a big loss for the field and for those of us lucky enough to have worked with her.
Please take the time to read about Susan. She was the embodiment of integrity. Never waivered in that science must be transparent, rigorous & serve the highest good for human health & well-being.

Sharing our new Health Affairs study! We found increasing rates of tubal sterilizations and vasectomies among 19-26-year-olds following the Dobbs decision leak, with greater increases in states likely to ban abortion, and fear & concerns about bodily autonomy.

New research is out today!
We interviewed 30 patients who had telehealth abortions. By reducing various logistical hurdles and the potential of stigma at a clinic, telehealth mitigates what call structural abortion stigma.

Is it uncool to repost something 10 days after you saw it? Probably. But I can't stop being amused by this one.
Maybe the real Christmas magic is the abortions we did along the way

New research from our team at the Mullan Institute: no significant changes in state-level OBGYN movement after Dobbs, but longstanding workforce challenges in states that now have abortion bans. The effects of Dobbs on the workforce - including moral injury - are huge and will take years to unfold.
