Washingtonians: Our state's progress on reproductive freedom is not guaranteed. On Nov. 4, we must send champions to Olympia who will protect our rights — not put them at risk.

Here’s how PPAA’s endorsed candidates stack up against the opposition. 👉 #WALeg (1/2)

“It feels like the hits have just kept on coming in Washington, and that’s why access, affordability, and stable funding is our key concern." — PPAA – WA State Director Courtney Normand (1/2)
Some Democratic-led states pledged to help fund family planning services. It’s not always enough.

@ppgnhaik.bsky.social CEO Rebecca Gibron: “We aren’t going anywhere. While it’s hard for us to operate in such a hostile political environment, we aren’t going to turn our backs on our patients in the same way that lawmakers have done."
As Idaho’s only Planned Parenthood clinic, the Meridian clinic draws people from across the state to visit for care. In the past year, some of the clinic’s roughly 5,000 patients traveled from more than a dozen rural Idaho counties, according to the organization.

Happy 25th birthday, mifepristone!

25 years ago, the FDA approved mifepristone as a safe & effective abortion medication. Typically using a combo of mifepristone & misoprostol, medication abortions are now the most common way to end pregnancy. These meds are also used after miscarriages. (1/3)

As the Trump administration strips away health care, Washington will replace Planned Parenthood’s lost Medicaid funding w state $, helping patients access abortion care, cancer screenings, contraception + STI treatments!

This is the kind of state intervention needed as health care attacks continue.
