Oy.
I struggle daily with what to say to my patients lately. What I can say is this: I see you. I hear you. Your feelings and experiences are real and valid. Lean into community, find your people. Raise your voice in whatever ways feel safe and right for you. We’re in this together.

The very least you can do is contact the senators for your state (WA state super easy to email Patty and Maria) and your congress person.
Dems are being told to have town hall meetings with their constituents. Ask when yours is. If you have a republican, ask when yours is too. 😜

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
A Third Woman Died Under Texas’ Abortion Ban. Doctors Are Avoiding D&Cs and Reaching for Riskier Miscarriage Treatments.
