Arizonans overwhelmingly voted to enshrine the right to abortion in the AZ constitution. Healthcare providers filed a lawsuit to challenge the 15-week ban as unconstitutional. We can now provide abortion beyond 15 weeks! Come and see us. 480-447-8857 | desertstarfp.org

The stigma of abortion assumes women and pregnant people are victims of abortion rather than strong, determined individuals who refuse to be told if or when to parent. Ending stigma starts with compassion and understanding ✨♥️. #EndAbortionStigma

Arizona has constitutionally protected abortion rights. This is a crucial step to celebrate, but the work to overturn the 15-week ban and other harmful restrictions continues. Let's continue to work toward reproductive freedom. Learn more at nobansaz.com.

This #GivingTuesday we aim to raise $25,000 to replenish our PAP (Patient Assistance Program) Fund, providing assistance to patients needing abortion or transgender care and cannot afford it due to lack of a means to pay. Can we count on your support? givebutter.com/DSIFP24

Love the love we are receiving today! Patient said, "I'm not trying to make you all fat," while pulling these Ghirardelli bags out of their bag 😋. Another patient brought us truffles to start the afternoon clinic. 🫶🏾

I’m so grateful to these three for sharing their stories and fears and struggles with me, all in an effort to stand up for everyone else.

It was so sweet (pun intended) of one of our patients to bring us donuts this morning 🥰. She understood the assignment. We are Bosa snobs here 😋.

Today is the final day of National Voter Education Week. We have realized that many people do not vote because they think you have to fill out the entire ballot to cast your vote. Your ballot does not have to be completely filled out to turn it in.

We know that our patients need us to be more than clinical providers. We provide care that is highly stigmatized and politicized. We show up in excellence to serve populations that historically face barriers to care and experience trauma at the hands of our health care system.

Wouldn't it be cool if you received one of our handwritten GOTV postcards in the mail? We are counting on you! We dedicated a bit of our time at the clinic and in the community to write love nudges to you. Let's be the change we need. #VOTE

Abortion is legal in Arizona to 15-weeks of pregnancy. It's an election year and messages are confusing. Desert Star is here to provide the essential care you need. Clinic days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. Call us Monday - Friday for appts. Walk-in and same day appts available.

We approve this message.
Replying to @DrRobDavidson
So “leave it to the states” should really be changed to “leave it to the individuals,” and those individuals should have the freedom to decide, in concert with whomever they decide to include in that decision, what happens to their own bodies. 12/13
