Politicians have worked REALLY HARD to confuse people about the safety and efficacy of abortion pills, especially mifepristone, a.k.a. mife. So let’s go through some FAQs and get #AbortionAccurate.

The people who need SNAP assistance come from varying circumstances. I spoke with a woman in rural Idaho who needed food stamps after her partner died by suicide when she was 11 weeks pregnant.
And some have pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes — which requires a strict diet to control.

Dems in the PA state leg have introduced a proposed amendment to their constitution. It's EXCELLENT for its thoroughness, its inclusion of the human right to choose to get pregnant/have kids, and its lack of viability rules. It's unlikely to go anywhere for now; Republicans control PA's leg. 1/5

Yes! This is also true in Washington. If you're in Kitsap County and have questions about how to pay for an abortion, please contact us via DM or email: KARAmutualaid@gmail.com
I was actually surprised to learn recently that Alaska's Medicaid program pays for abortion care, including flights to Washington for second trimester abortions.
There is no such thing as fed funding for the vast majority of abortion care (thanks to the Trump budget passed this summer, for at least a year) but some states still allow local public insurance recipients to use that insurance for abortion. B/c people who live in those geographies support it.

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital."
Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth.
Some experience dangerous complications as a result.

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk
Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

Saw some post somewhere earlier about people “not getting” transness or whatever
You don’t have to get it.
If you believe in bodily autonomy for all, then no one needs you to understand their personal situation to earn being seen as a person by you.
You just treat every human being as a person.

Some updates to our list here, and most of them are good—more affiliates tell us they are still caring for people with Medicaid post-"defund."
But an awful lot of these statements come with a "for now" caveat, suggesting things could change in a few weeks or months.

Our Bremerton Planned Parenthood will continue to provide services -- including medication abortion -- to Medicaid recipients, despite the "defund" provision in the federal budget. Folks elsewhere in the country may be in a different situation. 1/2

Awful news out of Wisconsin today. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin had only recently recommenced providing abortion care after it was briefly banned in the state (full story on that in next post), so it's especially tragic to see this happening now.
SCOOP: In June, @susanrinkunas.com and I reported at @autonomynews.co that Planned Parenthood was poised to let some of its affiliates stop providing abortion care in order to maintain Medicaid eligibility.
PPWI appears to be the first affiliate to do so.
