This will extend that to hours - days - weeks - months.

It's about the cruelty.
Doctors are already providing care whenever possible, this law takes away family choice. It is the equivalent of denying the very sick people a DNR. #obgynsky #reprosky #abortionsky

If I don’t laugh I cry. Just got off a call with mentors, wondering if we will lose our federal funding or not for our maternal health disparities research.

Call your representatives. Another “born alive” bill has been introduced. Forcing infants with fatal fetal anomalies into intense futile medical treatment. #obgynsky #abortionsky #reprosky

When we allow partners to report people who have abortions we are only harming victims. #abortionsky #obgynsky #reprorights

You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
