I am on the other app! Follow me at @reprorightsdoc.bsky.social. 🦋

I chatted with @MSNBC about the safety of mifepristone+self-managed abortion. I trust my patients to decide if, when, and how they will start their families, and I trust you, too. We get to decide what we need. Not the courts. Not lawmakers. And not anti-abortion extremists.

And I couldn't wrap it up without shouting out @prhdocs amazing Board Chair @DrKBrandi who kicked the whole thing off speaking truth to power!

And my faves from @AdvocatesTweets who lean so deeply into their values of agency, autonomy and trust for young people!

@KrishnaKumariMD Adolescent Medicine doc and the @PPFA plug talking about young ppl and contraceptive access

@DrDGrossman who always come through with the research and science receipts to back it all up 👊🏿👊🏿

So many folks I deeply admire and respect spoke today including Dr. @thewonderseeker who shared her own story about access for herself and her patients.

There is no medical or scientific reason to require a prescription for oral contraception, including progesterone only pills. Decades of research shows they are safe and effective. It was my honor to represent my patients, community and @prhdocs at today's hearing. #FreeThePill

Thank you to @MSNBC and @TheBeatWithAri for the opportunity to talk about the impact of the SCOTUS ruling on abortion access. And sharing space with THE @RBraceySherman certainly sweetens the deal! @prhdocs #PoliticsHasNoPlace in care

We also heard several witnesses express feigned “concern” about this legislation “protecting” rapists and abusers. Let’s be clear, carceral approaches have NEVER stopped rape or sexual abuse.
