#Abortion is health care. No matter whether:
🔸it’s needed to save the mother or not.
🔸the pregnant person experienced violence or not.
🔸the pregnancy was intended or not.
For every person, no matter their experience. Abortion is health care.

GOOD NEWS! 🎉Legislation was passed in England and Wales yesterday to establish #safeaccesszone outside abortion clinics, preventing demonstrations, protests & intimidating behaviour around the facilities. @BPAS1968
We are delighted that MPs have passed legislation to establish buffer zones around abortion clinics in England and Wales.
At BPAS, we have been working tirelessly for almost a decade to end anti-abortion clinic harassment.
Thank you to everyone who has campaigned alongside us!

Good Mental health is vital for people we serve and for ourselves! Today on #WorldsMentalHealthDay2022 we emphasize on selfcare for today’s and future healthcare providers.
Its okay to not be okay. You are being heard and YOU MATTER.

People who have miscarriages need safe options, support, and care in the way that works best for them. They should be able to get the medications they need without facing unnecessary barriers. @US_FDA the mifepristone label should reflect the science.

Once more for the people in the back 📣
Pregnancies are too complicated to legislate!
Decisions on reproductive healthcare should be left to providers and patients... NOT politicians
#AbortionIsHealthcare #HealthcareIsAHumanRight #ReproductiveHealth
Pregnancies are too complicated to legislate.
“Any sort of legal or policy line is inherently going to be inadequate to capture all of the different, and honestly quite heartbreaking ways that pregnancy can go wrong,” Katrina Kimport explained.

Unsafe abortions were once the leading cause of hundreds of Ethiopian 🇪🇹 women’s deaths each year, but not anymore, here is how Ethiopia’s liberalization of abortion laws has significantly reduced their maternal mortality rate. #Abortionishealthcare

In 2018, the Irish people voted overwhelmingly to end a national, near-total abortion ban. What can post-Roe America learn from Ireland's grassroots-led victory? I spoke to Irish activists to find out @Slate
Grateful to @susanematthews @ailbhes @Msjuliekay @rosablackgp and more
