On this anniversary of the Dobbs decision, look to the helpers. This episode of our podcast is about Upper Midwest abortion funds doing what they can to ferry people to Minnesota (and within Minnesota) to get abortions—it's a great episode! genderjustice.us/podcast/roe…

Roe v. Wade’s Reversal: Impact in the Heartland

Local abortion fund activists tell us what has changed, and perhaps just as importantly, what hasn’t changed for people in the Upper Midwest since Roe was overturned.

The rights you take for granted today could vanish in the next election if you don't spell them out somewhere. That's why the Equal Rights Amendment has to remain a priority — and why we need to elect lawmakers who will prioritize it. startribune.com/the-end-of-a…

Brooks: A sad end of an ERA in Minnesota as legislative session closed

A century on, Minnesotans pick themselves up from the legislative wreckage and prepare to try, try again to pass an Equal Rights Amendment.

“There's no reason for this care to be siloed.” AMEN. This trend of primary care integrating medication or procedural abortions, usually in early pregnancy, is growing in states where abortion is legal. Including here in Minnesota. npr.org/sections/shots-healt…

Abortion is becoming more common in primary care clinics as doctors challenge stigma

More family medicine and primary care doctors are doing abortions and questioning why it's been separated from other care for decades.

The only way to ban abortion in the US is to sidestep democracy. The majority of the public is against bans. theintercept.com/2023/08/24/…

Abortion Bans or Democracy — You Can’t Have Both

Controlling people’s bodies requires trashing representative government and violating every individual right.

Getting antidepressants or antipsychotics today can be as simple as seeing a doctor on video and picking up the medicine. You can even keep anti-anxiety pills on hand in case of a panic attack. Why should abortion pills be any different? yesmagazine.org/issue/access…
