The SCOTUS decision in Little Sisters v. Penn is deeply disappointing. Contraception should be a RIGHT not a privilege and access to healthcare should never depend upon the beliefs of one's employer. #SCOTUS

AFAP supports a full spectrum of reproductive healthcare & rights & seeks to uplift reproductive justice. #SB8 not only bans most abortions in TX, it encourages vigilantism & disproportionately affects already marginalized people. #BansOffOurBodies #AbortionIsHealthcare

AFAP supports the right of all people to manage their fertility & to have access to client-centered, equitable healthcare. Laws like #SB8 limit access to #reprohealth care & disproportionately impact #BIPOC. #ReproJustice #BansOffOurBodies #WeWONTGoBack

#Roe49: SisterSong is participating in and hosting several events to celebrate the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Join us through one of the streaming events and follow the hashtag #LetsTalkAboutRoe to be part of the conversation. Details: conta.cc/32k7CHQ..

Instagram Live NOW - join us for "Let's Talk About Roe" featuring SisterSong's Monica Raye Simpson and Black Feminist Future's Paris Hatcher. Head over to Instagram.com/MVMNT4BLKLIVES. Abortion and Black Liberation are intrinsically linked.

It was my privilege and honor to be a co-author on these #AbortionDemands with NNAF Abortion Funds and others. On this, the 49th (and likely last) anniversary of #RoevWade there has never been a more important moment to fight for #abortionjustice. WE DEMAND #AbortionWithinReach

As professionals committed to improving #healthliteracy and promoting #fertilityawareness, we know that #AbortionIsEssential to the health and safety of people and their communities. #Roe49 #AbortionJustice #ActForAbortionAccess #AbortionIsHealthcare #ThisIsRJ #ProChoice

THURS at 10:30AM PT with guest host Ariana Proehl: We'll talk with Black doulas about their work, the legacy of racism in American healthcare and why some are wary of the state’s efforts to regulate the profession. @mclemoremr, Chantel Runnels & #SumisTouch join.

AFAP stands with transgender youth and their families in TX, FL, MS, ID, and everywhere else where their right to exist is being brutally threatened by state governments and legislation. We have been and will always be pro-choice, pro-science, and pro-LGBTQ+ #ProtectTransYouth

Bodily autonomy includes EVERY body, and gender-affirming healthcare for #LGBTQ youth is #lifesaving. Young people who are safe in their bodies and validated in their identities live safer, longer, healthier lives. #LGBTQ liberation is #ReproJustice. #Support4LGBTQyouth

For an excellent discussion about recent anti LGBTQ legislation, check out this two part interview with @chasestrangio on Democracy Now! - bit.ly/3ivb6M3 #TransRightsAreHumanRights

🧵 This #TransDayOfVisibility, we want to uplift resources for those looking to debunk anti-trans myths as well as links for those looking to use their money to directly support trans people. #TDoV 1/8

This year we're excited to offer 10 scholarships for #BMHC22! Applications are open now through June 1, 2022. Only one application per person is allowed. Awardees will be contacted by email to be made aware of their acceptance on, or before June 24. Visit blackmamasmatter.org/BMHC22

AFAP always has and always will support #AbortionRights. The overturning of #RoeVWade will disproportionately harm #BIPOC communities. As professionals committed to evidence-based #ReproductiveHealth education and care, and #ReproductiveJustice, we condemn this decision.
