Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate, but too often, access to safety and support does. We believe every survivor deserves care, compassion, and the resources they need to heal — no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make. 💜 #DVAM

Today, we honor the Indigenous peoples of Michigan & celebrate the sovereignty of the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi nations.🍂

May we commit not just to remembrance, but to action: listening, learning, and standing with Indigenous communities in the fight for health, justice, and self-determination.

Your abortion is your business — full stop. 💗 You don’t owe anyone an explanation. But remember that if you choose to share your story, you get to decide what to share, when to share it, and with whom you share it.

Your story, your boundaries, your power. 📖

Unregulated pregnancy clinics (UPCs), aka crisis pregnancy centers, are largely religious nonprofits that pose as health clinics while operating free of the health, safety, licensing, and patient privacy standards that govern Planned Parenthood health centers and other medical offices.

You don’t have to be trans or even know someone who is to care about trans rights. Standing up for the trans community helps to protect all of us, because when one group’s rights are under attack, it sets a dangerous precedent that puts all of our freedoms at risk.

When you speak up about abortion, birth control, STI testing, gender-affirming care, or any other part of your reproductive health journey, you help others understand what’s at stake — and why access to care matters.

Anti-abortion lawmakers know that #abortion bans are deeply unpopular. Instead, they passed a bill that "defunds" Planned Parenthood by blocking #Medicaid patients from accessing essential care at Planned Parenthood.

Their goal: Shut down health centers so abortion becomes harder to access.

Meme featuring Jim from the television show "The Office"

Top slide: "Ban people from using Medicaid for birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing at Planned Parenthood health centers.

Bottom slide: Health centers are forced to close, making abortion less accessible in states where it's legal.

President Trump and his backers in Congress are responsible for every cancer that goes undetected, every STI that goes untreated, and every person who can’t get birth control or abortion care when they need it.

But we've never backed down from a fight — and we won't be starting now. 🥊

The Trump administration and Congress "defunded" Planned Parenthood to take away access to abortion and other reproductive health care across the country.

They are forcing some Planned Parenthood Health Centers to close.

If this bill passes a second vote in the House and is signed into law, it will have devastating effects on our nation and here in Michigan.

Read the full press release: www.miplannedparenthood.org/post/planned...

By ‘defunding’ Planned Parenthood, the Trump administration is choosing to sacrifice the health and lives of people nationwide in service of their long-term goal to shut down Planned Parenthood and decimate abortion access nationwide. Let’s call the ‘defunding’ provision what it is: a backdoor abortion ban. While reproductive freedom is a constitutional right in Michigan, Michiganders still remain at risk of losing access." — Ashlea Phenicie, Chief External Affairs Officer for Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan.

Thank you, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, for protecting access to lifesaving emergency abortion care in Michigan — despite the Trump administration's dangerous action. Abortion is lifesaving health care, and we are grateful for your leadership in the fight to protect access to it. 💗

"In Michigan, reproductive freedom is a constitutional right, but it is not a right we can take for granted. PPMI remains committed to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom until all people have control over their lives, their bodies, and their futures.” – Paula Thornton Greear

Gov. Whitmer reaffirms EMTALA protections for pregnant women

Earlier this month, the federal administration rescinded guidance covering pregnant women under EMTALA. Whitmer says it's still in effect in Michigan.
