BREAKING: Abortion services will continue in Utah! Today, a Utah court blocked the state's abortion ban for a second time, granting PPAU's request for a preliminary injunction. We will keep fighting to keep abortion legal for all Utahns!

Thank you Robert Gehrke for the highlight reel of the PPAU v UT that ended in an injunction. Thank you PPAC Utah and ACLU of Utah for standing up for the right to equal protections, privacy, freedom of consciousness, health and abortion.

“You can’t have health equity without coverage and timely access to providers.” — Daniel Tsai CMSGov at our child and family health policy virtual conference keynote address today.

This is a huge opportunity for CMSGov Secretary Xavier Becerra to advance a health equity agenda for children. All 3 states on the West Coast are/will request Section 1115 authority to cover young children continuously from birth thru age 5. In CA 72% of children of color are on Medicaid.

Grateful for todays coordinated coverage of abortion as healthcare in Utah! Check out the op-ed by Dr. Sarah Zarek. Read it here: sltrib.com/opinion/commen… #AbortionIsEssential

Every licensed healthcare professional who signed this letter had their own reason for doing so…but all informed by expertise, experiences and deep understanding on the complexity of patients unique situations. #AbortionIsHealthcare

Did the 24 Utah Republicans who issued “cease and desist” letters to abortion providers break the law? It looks like it. Will they be held accountable? 🤷🏻‍♀️

States restricting #abortion have worse health outcomes and increased maternal mortality for #bipoc populations - Dr David Eisenberg #SFP2022

Thank you Thea Holcomb for sharing your wisdom and experience re: #utleg This is a great thread 🧵

This is great news. It is 💯critical for states who are adopting the 12 months postpartum option to line it up with their Medicaid unwinding process and system changes to ensure that very new moms don't miss out on this important coverage this year.

Sobering data demonstrating an association between restrictive abortion laws and increased maternal and infant mortality. #Freearticle ow.ly/JQyS30styI4

One of my favorite conferences🤩

House Bus. & Labor voted down Rep. Rosemary Lesser, MD's HB 85. It increases pregnancy Medicaid eligibility levels.
