UPDATE: IS BACK UP! Thank you, everyone, for your support and for sharing this resource with your networks. Please find your local abortion fund and give them your support today!

A sitting Republican congressmen,

So to spite him I raised $1 million in donations to abortion funds in under 72 hours.
Abortion is healthcare. Period.

6/ The M+A hotline, 1-833-246-2632 or , offers confidential & private support on miscarriage and abortion with volunteer clinicians and information about abortion pills.
Reproductive coercion is abusive! It's on the same spectrum with denying one's right to bodily autonomy as denying one's access to abortion. Using mental illness as rationale to say people shouldn’t have children is offensive & ableist.

We denounce RiseUp's rhetoric against abortion funds. There’s never been a more important time to fund abortions. RiseUp is only further dividing us in their refusal to recognize the critical work of funds, as well as their anti-Blackness, transphobia & anti-sex worker stances.

Hi

! We're glad to know you want to help people access abortion care. There isn't a need to create an underground network because abortion funds already exist. Join us! Invite your friends, network or your whole follower list!
Never thought I'd be having this conversation in my lifetime - but more and more of my women friends in New York are talking about setting up an underground network to help women in red states have access to abortion here. We are living the damn Handmaid's Tale!

"The point is not whether I’m “grateful” my birth mother didn’t abort me; it is that she deserved to make her own choice. My existence was not for me to decide, nor was I entitled to be here."

With gratitude and grace for everyone who wants to get involved and help people seeking abortions: PLEASE stop offering your home or spare room to strangers on the internet. There are lots of reasons not to AND lots of things you can do instead. 🧵
We’ve seen a lot of misinformation circulating that says that abortion is illegal in the U.S.
This is NOT true, and we want to make it crystal clear: ***** You can still get an abortion in the U.S. *****

#BREAKING
: The North Dakota Supreme Court has ruled that the state’s total abortion ban violates the state constitution and should remain blocked. Abortion will remain legal and access to essential care will be protected in North Dakota while the case proceeds in a lower court.🧵
We are pausing our social media next week in recognition of the grief, mourning, safety and survival planning needed as we navigate this historic and violent intersection of imminent white supremacist violence, sedition, and lethal mismanagement of the global pandemic.
Florida just passed a 15-week ban on abortion that will have devastating consequences for people who already face existing barriers to accessing abortion care when they need it.
Today abortion funds and abortion providers have joined together to put forth a bold set of demands that lay out exactly what is needed to make

"People across the US are like, ‘How did we get here?’ and we’re like, ‘Where have you been?’”"
Barriers to abortion access in AL existed long before the bans were passed.
“My story is just one of hundreds of thousands of transgender and nonbinary people who know that reproductive health is not a woman’s issue: it’s a human right.“
NEW: A judge in Georgia has overturned the state's abortion ban starting at six weeks, which is before most people know that they are pregnant, ruling the law unconstitutional. Abortion is now legal in the state through 22 weeks past a pregnant person's last menstrual period.
"We must legislate like lives depend on it, because they do. It is time for action. Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. Enshrine the fundamental human right to abortion care in federal law once and for all." -

You still have a constitutional right to an abortion in every state in the US. No 6 week ban that's passed in any state is law yet, regardless of a Governor signature.

No matter what happens to Roe, people won’t stop having abortions. We believe that everyone should be able to manage their abortion with dignity and autonomy. Learn the facts about medication abortion:
Trans liberation is reproductive justice. The same state lawmakers trying to ban abortion are pushing anti-trans legislation – a coordinated attack on bodily autonomy. But we’ll always fight for a world where trans folks can live freely, safely, & joyfully.
#TransDayOfVisibility
10 years ago on this day, Dr. George Tiller was murdered by an anti-abortion extremist. Dr. Tiller was a steadfast supporter of abortion funds and NNAF, and a compassionate provider for people who needed later abortions. His legacy is felt and appreciated every day.
