We’re not feeling optimistic about our futures—so what can legislators do? As civil rights are eroded daily, I urge our elected leaders to enact #ReproductiveJustice policies. It’s the only pathway through which we can truly thrive. The framework already exists. The blueprint is clear.

Costco claims the decision not to sell #Mifepristone is a “lack of demand from our members and other patients.” But really, they folded under pressure. As states continue to tighten their restrictions on abortion across the country, patients should be able to what they need wherever they can get it.

Disappointing? Yes. Surprising? Not in the slightest.
Despite signing an Executive Order directing the government to expand access to IVF, the White House has stated they have no plans – no bill, no legal challenges, NOTHING – to fulfill that EO or Trump’s promise of affordable IVF. #AccessNotTalk

Today marks 3 years since #Dobbs. My predecessor, Marcela, and I want to remind you Roe gave the right to privacy—but not access to abortion. Rights mean little if you have to travel far, pay out of pocket, or beg to be believed. We need real access to abortion and reproductive healthcare.

Their ultimate goal is to put abortion care out of reach for everyone, everywhere, under every circumstance, and this measure is just one step toward that goal.
