Abortion pills are safe.

Having to wait until you're septic to get a D&C is not safe.

THAT is the discussion.
We're just a week away from the debut of our newest stage production, Abortion Is Healthcare: Provider Stories from Idaho's Front Lines, which highlights Idaho OB/GYN stories in the wake of Dobbs.

There are 114 OB-GYNs who left Idaho or stopped practicing obstetrics between August 2022 and December 2024, according to data from a peer-reviewed study published in JAMA Open Network. That represents 43% of the 268 physicians practicing obstetrics statewide.

The whole spectrum of fucked-upness: "A TX woman filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a man she alleges 'secretly dissolv[ed] abortion pills' into a hot chocolate and tricked her into drinking it. The woman is represented by Jonathan Mitchell, the architect of the TX bounty hunter abortion ban"
Other outlets are starting to cover this story, but they simply cannot do it like @autonomynews.co.

We break down the two far-right activists involved, explain similar lawsuits filed recently, and put it in the context of bills Texas Republicans are trying to pass in their special session
NEW: A Texas woman filed a wrongful death suit in federal court today alleging a man gave her abortion pills without her consent. The suit also names Aid Access and its founder Rebecca Gomperts. The woman is represented by SB 8 architect Jonathan Mitchell.

43% of Idaho OBs left, retired or closed their practices after Dobbs.

One physician who left said of Idaho's abortion ban, "If the law allows prosecution, it is not reassuring that [doctors] can simply rely on the good faith of prosecutors."

“It’s not a coincidence that this resurgence of housewife iconography comes at the same time abortion rights have been stripped. What better way to quiet the next generation of girls, growing up without repro rights, than to tell them it’s actually progress? They’re making sexism aspirational.”
While the radicalization of young men is largely seen for what it is, the insidious campaign targeting young women isn’t positioned as indoctrination. It’s a lifestyle, an aesthetic, and—most dangerously—a perfectly good and feminist choice.

NEW: A JAMA study finds that "between August 2022 and December 2024 ... Idaho lost 94 of the 268 OBGYN physicians practicing obstetrics."

Just 20 new OBGYNs moved to Idaho in that time, "and 114 of the 268 baseline obstetricians" stopped practicing, left the state, or retired.

Obvs we shouldn't need to say this but **care should never be contingent on "morality" of your decisions**

Not your pregnancy care. Not your abortion care. Not your mental healthcare. Not your addiction care. Not your food assistance. Not your access to public education. Housing. Dignity.

Tennessee already leads the nation in maternal and infant deaths, has a total abortion ban, and gutted Medicaid. Now they’re letting providers deny care based on whatever bigoted fever dream they’re having. buff.ly/LbqDoby

A sexual politics that prizes reproductivity, eroticization of male dominance, and women’s humiliation as a marker of men’s status will inevitably trend towards valorizing pedophilia.
We’re one more revelation away from MAGA telling us that sexually abusing teenage girls is good, actually.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that protects Idaho health care providers who help patients seek abortion care out-of-state.

In states like Idaho with total abortion bans, out-of-state referrals are a critical tool to ensure that people get the care we need.
