Important context from @AngryBlackLady & @Hegemommy on the lawsuit challenging FDA approval of mifepristone for #MedicationAbortion . For anti-abortion activists, this was never about protecting health, but rather eradicating abortion access at all costs.

📣 France will now offer a range of free contraceptive methods to women under 25 in an effort to remove cost as a barrier to use for young women. Previously, contraceptives were free for women until 18 only. It’s great to see this effort to expand access!

Free birth control for all women under 25 will be available in France from Saturday, expanding a scheme targeting under-18s to ensure young women don't stop taking contraception because they cannot...

Anti-abortion activists will stop at nothing to ban abortion—even if it means *completely ignoring science* as demonstrated by the groundless lawsuit they filed against FDA approval of mifepristone. The facts are clear: #MedicationAbortion is safe, effective and essential.

Reminder that medically unproven treatments to "reverse" an abortion are unethical and dangerous, not to mention stigmatizing and misleading. In reality, junk science is being used to undermine reproductive freedom.

HISTORIC: Coloradans have voted #NoOn115 to defeat the dangerous and deceptive ban on abortion later in pregnancy. The people of Colorado have spoken — abortion bans don’t belong in our state. This is a victory for pregnant people, families, and doctors.

#Abortion occurs just as frequently in countries with most legal restrictions as those with fewest—37 vs 34 abortions per 1,000 women. But it’s much less safe in restrictive countries.
