Thank you 1A for allowing me to discuss how important mifepristone, medication abortion, and abortion access are to my patients. Listen to the full episode here: the1a.org/segments/the-s…

Loving the cross-disciplinary sessions at #SMFM24 ! Great to see Nisha Verma, MD, MPH, FACOG, fabulous BIDMC Obstetrics and Gynecology alumni!

Thank you to the Georgia Democrats for bringing attention to this important issue affecting people across our state and to the Central Presbyterian Church for hosting us.

Grateful for these women and their families who shared their stories about the devastating impacts abortion restrictions have had on their lives. I feel honored to have had the opportunity to be a part of this.

ACOG strongly opposes burdensome restrictions on mifepristone. Our members and their patients need access to evidence-based standard-of-care treatments. The Supreme Court must ensure that mifepristone will remain available. Read our statement: bit.ly/4akF3bC

Texans deserve to exercise reproductive freedom without fighting legal battles and without legislative interference in their lives. We’re grateful that Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted Kate Cox a compassionate, respectful hearing and decision: bit.ly/3Rg34Yz

The #Ohio election showed that people understand abortion is critical to families and communities, and they want access to this essential health care. We’ll continue to work to expand access to reproductive health care so that all Ohioans can get #abortion care when they need it.

Today, the people of Ohio voted to restore their reproductive rights and reclaim their freedom to make their most personal decisions. They rejected the disinformation and fear and voted instead to ensure that every Ohioan will have access to the health care they need.

Zahn, MD, FACOG, and Society of Family Planning’s Jenni Villavicencio, MD, MPP, FACOG, have a message for Kellyanne Conway and Marjorie Dannenfelser about the harms of perpetuating lies about abortion care.

Mifepristone is safe and effective for its FDA-approved use for medication abortion and miscarriage management up to 10 weeks of gestation. It’s safe and effective when used as directed by telemedicine and when prescribed by qualified advanced practice clinicians. 1/3

The FDA's approval of over-the-counter Opill can help remove barriers to birth control.

.Dr. Daniel Grossman + Nisha Verma, MD, MPH, FACOG call on clinicians and professional organizations to highlight the impact of abortion bans and 'play a critical role in defending evidence-based comprehensive reproductive health care' in JAMA jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

.Nisha Verma, MD, MPH, FACOG and I wrote about the impact of Dobbs on patients seeking and clinicians providing abortion care, as well as the critically important role of medical and nursing organizations standing in strong opposition to legislative interference in evidence-based care.

It is always a good day when I get to share space with Dr. Daniel Grossman Nisha Verma, MD, MPH, FACOG and Dr. Sarah Prager reminding our colleagues that “You get to refuse to collude with the criminalization of our communities. You can refuse to participate in this process.'

Dr. Caitlin Bernard is a principled, compassionate, skilled colleague and and it should be deeply unsettling to all of us (especially other healthcare professionals) to witness the way she has been treated by Indiana and Ohio. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/05…
