'Systemic failure': Advocacy group calls for easier access to pain relief during IUD insertions An advocacy group in B.C. is calling for easier access to pain relief for patients when getting an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted.

Pain management is a right, not a luxury.

Pro-choice group warns of new abortion ‘disinformation’ on social media Recently published videos show the co-founder of a pro-life group posing as someone interested in accessing an abortion, including at a clinic in Toronto

In Canada, an anti-choice disinformation campaign is targeting later abortions. Undercover videos at 4 clinics show staff handling an anti-choice fake patient with compassion and support. Abortion is healthcare, Canada has no laws or gestational limits, and patients' needs are respected.

It’s #SerotoninSunday!

👐Meet Lana’e Hernandez: she just opened the first All Options Pantry in St. Pete — a totally free, judgment-free supply hub for birth control, abortion care, and baby items. No front desk. No shame. Just actual care filling the gaps lawmakers keep creating.

Young Texans were most immediately impacted by six-week abortion ban: study Facility-based abortions both in and out of the state decreased by about 26% for Texans under 18 and and almost 20% for those between the ages of 18 and 24.

"Young Texans may be more likely to not recognize pregnancy early, know where to obtain an abortion, have fear about disclosing their pregnancy to family members or to be unable to travel and pay for care, especially without adult help."

Since Dobbs, abortion bans have cost folks' their lives, worsened the Black maternal health crisis & pushed essential care out of reach.

Now Republicans are gutting Medicaid, defunding Planned Parenthood & moving us closer to a nationwide abortion ban.

The cruelty is the point.

I see some people saying that we’ll be forced back into having unsafe abortions. And I get that everything is scary. But it’s important to understand that now we have abortion pills, and abortion pills are very medically safe.

The primary risk is a legal one, and we should be prepared for that.

Adoption isn’t an alternative to abortion, it’s an alternative to parenting.

Trump executive order on birthright citizenship casts a narrow view of family The order only acknowledges children born to man and woman “biological progenitors.” How it would affect LGBTQ+ families is one of many questions causing worry and confusion.

The White House’s effort to redefine who is entitled to U.S. citizenship also sent a strong signal about the administration’s narrow view of family — one that excludes LGBTQ+ couples.

Access to abortion medication could be in jeopardy, RFK Jr. testimony suggests It marks one of Kennedy’s clearest public statements on abortion since being nominated to lead the nation’s health department.

RFK Jr's promise to "study the safety of mifepristone" — which research shows is safe and effective — suggests openness to using HHS to impose national restrictions on a major method of abortion.

It would reverse Trump's campaign promise to leave abortion up to states. w/ @bcrodriguez.bsky.social

Abortion Care Canada - formerly NAF-Canada - may have to shut down! The government has denied its recent funding proposal to help Canadians access abortion. Other groups also had funding denied or cut back. This is devastating for repro rights and access in Canada!

It's #Caturday & these cats ain't messing around 🐾

Abortion is an essential part of a comprehensive system of healthcare. Abortion should never really be put to a vote because it is an essential human right. The cats know this. Be more cat 😸
