"During a recent five-year period, a substantial portion of maternal deaths in America — almost one-third — took place more than six weeks after childbirth, at a time when most new mothers think they are in the clear, researchers reported on Wednesday.
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, is one of the first to track maternal health complications during pregnancy and in the year after delivery."

"The elimination of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Assisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance team — a group of six epidemiologists, data analysts and researchers — shocked public health experts and IVF advocates who said they had felt encouraged by President Donald Trump’s comments supporting access to the infertility treatment."

"The Supreme Court appeared divided Wednesday in a case over whether states should be able to cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, which comes amid a wider push from abortion opponents to defund the nation’s largest abortion provider."
"Wyoming no longer has a clinic offering procedural abortions. Now, patients are traveling hundreds more miles to neighboring states for care....A new state law, pushed by abortion opponents, placed strict requirements on the clinic, including getting its physicians admitting privileges at nearby hospitals and making extensive renovations."

"The United States is ending its financial support for family planning programs in developing countries, cutting nearly 50 million women off from access to contraception.
This policy change has attracted little attention amid the wholesale dismantling of American foreign aid, but it stands to have enormous implications, including more maternal deaths and an overall increase in poverty."

She Launched “The Daily Show.” Now She’s Fighting Red State Abortion Bans.
For abortion rights advocate Lizz Winstead, her work has never felt more urgent. But her path to advocacy was a curvy one. She started out as a comedian, first as a stand-up and eventually as the co-creator of The Daily Show, which redefined television by deftly combining comedy and politics. “I kept getting increasingly unnerved […]
"Alabama cannot prosecute doctors and reproductive health organizations for helping patients travel out of the state to obtain abortions, a federal judge ruled on Monday.
Alabama has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, and in 2022 its attorney general, Steve Marshall, a Republican, raised the possibility of charging doctors with criminal conspiracy for recommending abortion care out of state."

I live in #TX and I can't afford to leave. I'm also #unemployed.
If you believe in #ReproductiveJustice, and that #abortion is #healthcare, please also vocally advocate for access to gender-affirming healthcare.
The #government must not have the #power to control what people can or cannot do with their own bodies.
"Georgia has no law dictating how to dispose of miscarriage remains, but police arrested her anyway...
"We warned that this would happen. For decades, feminists screamed from the rooftops that banning abortion would kill women and jail miscarriage patients. In response, we were accused of fear-mongering—called career overreactors desperate to paint all women as victims."

"“I can imagine the criticism we would receive if we had information about a very dangerous situation, potentially dangerous situation, that a child was about to be born into, and we said we should do nothing until that child is born,” Chris Winters, the department’s commissioner, said at the meeting."
So, yet again, the fetus is more important than the pregnant woman, who is being monitored by the fucking state. What the actual fuck?!

I live in #Texas. No effing way am I helping fund #Democrats in other states unless and until the #DemocraticParty starts acting like a legitimate #opposition party.
Especially any #Democrat who publicly distances themself from #transgenderRights. Because, either you believe it is perfectly reasonable for the #government to tell people what they can or cannot do with their own bodies, or you don't. The logic that denies gender-affirming #healthcare is the exact logic used to deny #ReproductiveJustice. Either people have a right to #BodilyAutonomy or they don't. There is no #centrist position here.
What Does Personhood Mean?
Really bad shit.
Personhood, or the way it is interpreted by the evangelical fascists in power, means a fertilized egg has more rights than a living, breathing, pregnant person. It reduces people with a uterus to incubator status.
