Some of the most odious moments in war are attacks on maternity & children's hospitals, like the recent one in #Ukraine. This story tells us #SRH care = essential care. For the 80K Ukrainians giving birth in the next 3 months. For women & children at risk facing sexual violence.

Today is one of the most exciting days of my career because my team at Guttmacher Institute has finally published the first ever globally comparable estimates of unintended pregnancy and abortion for 150 countries! gh.bmj.com/content/7/3/e0…

Another day, another story while SCOTUS decision looms. Abortion = essential healthcare that can be life-saving. No one should be denied this care based on where they happen to be.

Men. Show up. Don’t be silent.

BREAKING: #SCOTUS just ruled to overturn #RoeVWade. This decision has enormous consequences for pregnant people across the nation & will make it more difficult or impossible to access abortion care in many states. This is a massive blow to reproductive health, rights & justice.
