"If abortion opponents really wanted the nation’s children to be properly educated about anatomy and biology, they wouldn’t be opposed to comprehensive sex education. They wouldn’t be attacking transgender youth and eradicating their access to health care..."

GOP Wants to Mandate “Fetal Development Education.” It’s Anti-Abortion Nonsense.

Republicans can’t seem to convince adults to vote against abortion, so they’re trying to brainwash kids instead.

As the Trump administration's attack on medical science continues to put the lives of every American at greater risk, let this be a reminder of why the opinions of politicians don't belong in our private medical decisions.

Fetal personhood laws take away pregnant people's rights, ban abortion, and threaten IVF. They give an embryo, fetus, or fertilized egg the same legal protections as an actual living person, and prioritize the fetus over the pregnant person. It's not about safety or protection — it's about control.💯

Don't get duped by fake clinics! Pregnancy resource centers, aka crisis pregnancy centers, are not real health care providers.

You deserve honest information to help you make the best decision for your body and your future. Use abortionfinder.org to ensure you're connecting with a real provider.

Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care — no matter who they are, where they live, how much money they make, or their immigration status. 💚 💯

The fights for abortion, birth control, and gender-affirming care are all connected by the same belief that everyone deserves the power to control their own bodies and decide their own futures. Our movement is stronger when we work together. 🤝💗🌈

PPMI's health centers provide care to over 50,000 patients annually. So when anti-abortion lawmakers talk about "defunding" Planned Parenthood, what they really mean is taking away access to essential sexual and reproductive health care for tens of thousands of Michiganders!

Everyone Deserves Access To:
• Cancer screenings
• Birth control
• Gender-affirming care
• STI testing and treatment
• Sex education
• Wellness exams
• High-quality, affordable health care

Your body. Your future. Your call. No politician, court, or policy should stand between you and the care you need. Reproductive freedom means trusting people to make the choices that are right for them — no matter what. 💗

The most qualified person to make decisons about your body and future is you.

Black birthing people are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white birthing people.
