Eastern Massachusetts Abortion Fund is raising money to fund people's abortions! They are $14k into their goal of $115k.
Kick them a few $$ if you can. Ask friends and family to chip in if they have money to spare.

Of the ~25M #women who receive #ContraceptiveCare annually, 18% receive it from publicly supported #clinics, including #TitleX-funded centers, Baden said. They include women who are #LowIncome or #underinsured.
In 2019, during #Trump’s first term, his admin altered the half-century-old program banning clinics receiving Title X aid from referring patients for abortions.
“President #Trump & #ElonMusk are pushing their dangerous political agenda, stripping #health care access from people nationwide, & not giving a second thought to the devastation they will cause,” Johnson said in a stmnt.
Federally funded programs such as #TitleX are crucial in providing access to #affordable #ReproductiveHealthcare, said Kelly Baden, VP for public policy at the Guttmacher Institute, which supports #AbortionRights.
The WSJ reported last week #RFKJr’s #HHS planned an immediate freeze of $27.5M in #FamilyPlanning grants for groups including #PlannedParenthood.
PPFA says >300 #health centers are in the #TitleX network & Title X-funded centers received >1.5M visits in 2023.
The loss of funding will mean that “cancers go undetected, access to #BirthControl is severely reduced, & the nation’s #STI crisis worsens,” said Alexis McGill Johnson, PPFA president.
#Trump admin to cut funds to #PlannedParenthood
The #nonprofit said that 9 of its affiliates received notice that funding would be withheld under a program known as #TitleX, which has supported #healthcare services for the #poor since 1970.

"Israel’s attacks on reproductive healthcare in Gaza ‘genocidal’: UN probe" [3:08 min]

Quote by AJE:
"Mar 13, 2025
Israel has carried out “genocidal acts” against Palestinians by systematically destroying women’s healthcare facilities during its war on Gaza and using sexual violence as a war strategy, United Nations experts have said.
On Thursday, the Geneva-based Independent International Commission of Inquiry said in a new report that Israel “intentionally attacked and destroyed” Gaza’s main fertility centre while simultaneously blocking medicine for pregnancies, deliveries and neonatal care from entering the enclave.
The report found that Israel used sexual, reproductive and gender-based violence as a strategy of war.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lashed out at the Human Rights Council describing the findings as an 'anti-Israel circus."

Today is #InternationalWomensDay and whilst there is a lot to celebrate, it is the most dark IWD day in my lifetime because:
- In the US, female #ReproductiveHealthcare has largely been stopped.
- In the UK, there is active campaigning to follow the US model and stop abortion.
- In Poland, #abortion is already #illegal - unless you are about to die.
Keep yourself #safe and keep your period data #private because it may save your life one day. 
#LocationTracking is everywhere - often on by default. Your phone logs your movements, & apps sell this data.
Ask yourself: Do I want my grocery trips, doctor visits, or late-night walks mapped & monetized?
Disable location history, limit app access, & consider using a burner device when privacy is crucial.
On this International Woman's Day, I'm thinking of all the #women who are looking for #ReproductiveHealthcare in the US.
Be safe

There’s possibly more to this, remember when Smith’s government transferred operation of some Alberta hospitals over to a Catholic-based operator? This opens the door to taxpayer-funded hospitals refusing to perform certain services that are inconsistent with their religious beliefs. Think: #ReproductiveHealthcare #MAID #GenderAffirmingCare
A woman in South Carolina has an ectopic pregnancy and doctors are refusing to operate because of abortion bans.
It’s not just her ovary being put at risk.
Ectopic pregnancies are life threatening and require immediate surgery.
These “forced birth” policies are anything but pro life. They’re killing people and in many cases taking away their fertility.
This is cruelty. It’s not about life. It’s not about babies. It’s about controlling women. The cruelty is the point.

Saheli, a 'non-steroidal non-hormonal contraceptive pill'. Saheli dosage starts 1 pill per half-week for ... (?), then 1 pill weekly. Basically induce a brief, mini-menopause that stops when you stop the pills. https://saheliinfo.com/clinical-evidence
Then! ONE-YEAR vaginal ring Annovera. Unlike monthly-ish vaginal rings, (https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6449/smpc) this thicker vaginal ring holds enough for 13 cycles with one week bleeding breaks, or 12 if you skip periods. Think "buff NuvaRing". https://www.annoverahcp.com/
Speaking of intra-uterine system / device options: the UK does several! We are no longer stuck with the larger, higher dose Mirena hIUS. https://www.mirena.co.uk/ I want the smaller, lower dose (but shorter duration) Jaydess https://www.fsrh.org/Public/Public/Documents/ceu-product-review-jaydess-apr-14.aspx or Kyleena. https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/769/smpc
(You can fit a non-hormonal IUD copper coil as emergency contraception, within 10 days of unprotected sex. Fitting it as regular birth control anytime otherwise is also fine, when not pregnant.) https://patient.info/sexual-health/long-acting-reversible-contraceptives-larc/intrauterine-contraceptive-device
Finally, vasectomy. New part is "I found multiple cases where doctors did their own vasectomies". This may be helpful for hesitant cis men and AMAB people to know. Vasectomies are reversible ("easily", according to a medical nerd friend, but obv different people's bodies respond to things in weird, cool ways, so everything depends). https://www.baus.org.uk/_userfiles/pages/files/Patients/Leaflets/Vasectomy.pdf
I am not a doctor. Even if I were, I am not YOUR doctor. I do not have access to your medical records.
I'm just infodumping useful info to prevent unwanted pregnancies, minimise unplanned pregnancies, and mitigate risks. https://cks.nice.org.uk/topics/contraception-sterilization/management/male-sterilization-vasectomy/

#EFF to State AGs: Time to Investigate Crisis #Pregnancy Centers
#CPCs (also known as “fake #clinics”) are facilities that are often connected to #religious organizations and have a strong #antiabortion stance. While many offer #pregnancytests, #counseling, and information, as well as limited medical services in some cases, they do not provide #reproductivehealthcare such as #abortion or, in many cases, contraception. Some are licensed #medical clinics; most are not.

...never heard a #surgeon or doctor say, 'save the babies at the expense of the mother'
once in my entire career.
I tell owners all the time not to worry if the #puppies make it because MOM is the priority.
But half these things are no longer possible for lots of
humans in #America right now.
Just let that sink in.

It's so true, it's not even funny.
"Just as an FYI, your #dog and #cat have access to better reproductive healthcare
then you do right now.
Your dog can get its
#uterus removed without question.
Your cat will be rushed to surgery if its uterus is
infected and becoming #septic.
We will perform late-stage #abortions on your pets
to save the mother without hesitation. I've...
If you need more good news:
PlanB has a 4 year expiration date on the package AND in 90% of cases, medication still works past that date - up to 15 years past that date in some cases 
Meanwhile in the USA, PlanB and contraception sales are through he roof.
Now is the time to order yours to cover the next 50 months.
