San Marcos Abortion Activists @smabortionact

Hospitals were told they didn’t have to accommodate people who “might” need abortions, so they started mistreating and not treating pregnant people all together. Texans have no free diagnostic ultrasound services and are relying on emergency rooms to save them - and they won’t.

In states with abortion bans, “They are so scared of a pregnant patient, that the emergency medicine staff won’t even look. They just want these people gone”

imma say something & i don’t want yall to get mad at me. (most) abortion funding is not mutual aid. (most) abortion funding is progressive charity. it is mutual aid to philanthropists and clinic owners. (most) abortion funds rely on grants & foundational wealth

"The people are worth it. The people, the communities, people who are struggling, they’re worth every minute of your time" The latest report from @BldingMovement is full of 🔥 insights from Black movement leaders. Read it here: bit.ly/48Uur0X

“I heard abortion pills by mail are illegal.” Abortion pills by mail are legal in all 50 states. While a legal gray area, there are loopholes that protect the person having the abortion. Hundreds of Texans are using abortion pills at home every month!

When I hear that domestic violence centers for women and children are afraid to talk to their clients about abortion, I’m a little upset. Our most vulnerable community members have options & abortion info is ALWAYS legal to share. It’s not about our fears, it’s about theirs.

NEW: Abortion bans are fueling domestic violence in Texas. The leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide, often by an abusive partner with a gun. And Texas is forcing victims to stay pregnant, while making it easier for abusers to get guns. huffpost.com/entry/texas-ab…

Ok, if you’re laughing at this I’d love for you to explain: 1. Your state’s exact abortion laws, right now AND before Roe’s overturn 2. The three closest places to you to get an abortion 3. What “dilation and curettage” means & why it’s actually an outdated term Without googling

Unplanned pregnancy can happen to anyone. Folks come in for an abortion & say that they belong to a religious group/political party that avidly oppose the care we provide. Yet, they still choose to have an abortion based on their personal circumstances. EVERYONE deserves care.

I took Plan B to delay ovulation although I hadn’t had sex! Ovulation is always harder on me than my actual period, with extreme nausea + headaches keeping me from doing my tasks, & I have a huge event tomorrow! I’m confident using Plan B in this way, no shame or stigma!

@wokbonds How are miscarriages and abortion care connected? I’m so glad you asked. They are often literally the same thing, the medical care for them is the same in many cases, and obstructing or criminalizing one obstructs and criminalizes the other. Anyway, donate to @abortionfundOH 💕

I know now is not the time but one day we're going to have to talk about how activating witnessing multiple genocides with the same colonizer tactics that they used against our ancestors is for compounding historical + vicarious trauma + the ongoing hell that is the world today

Often we're shown photos of white women protesting, but Black & Brown folks were critical to the movement. At this New York protest in 1970, you can see these Black and AfroLatinx folks are demanding legal *and* free abortions. A radical ask for today's mainstream organizations.

in the new year - if you’re not raising money for abortion funds, working with abortion workers directly on centering their asks or inviting them to advise policy on your campaign, your little political vows to “restore abortion access” during voting season are just for show!

Friendly reminder: Use pro-abortion, not pro-choice. “Choice” assumes that everyone can get an abortion, and someone just has to choose whether or not they want one. It fails to address the many structural & societal factors that leave people with very few or no choices at all.

Kate Cox and Brittney Watts have a lot in common. But it is their differences that resulted in one able to eventually access healthcare and the other charged with a felony 🧵

Dear people purposely spreading misinformation while refusing to listen to Texas orgs, repro workers, and advocates: why does your need to be famous supersede providing accurate information so Texans can get the abortion care they need?

It’s okay to “unequivocally condemn the atrocities” by Israeli forces and US taxes in Palestine too. Repro workers are being bombed, murdered, and unable to provide repro care as clinics and hospitals are destroyed. We can hold space in our hearts for all experiencing violence.

i do the work that i do in part because of how much i love babies and children, and i fear that gets lost in my messaging sometimes! yes, i want to help people have the families they want, but i also want babies and children to have gorgeous lives with people who want them!

Reminder: Emergency contraception pills are NOT the same as the medication abortion pills. Emergency contraception works to prevent implantation & ovulation before a pregnancy occurs, whereas medication abortion pills end an already existing pregnancy. Both are safe & effective.
