Collage para el Día de Agradecimiento a los Proveedores de Servicios de Aborto 2026, por Jenni Kotting. En la parte superior, un texto en blanco dice: «La atención al aborto está ligada para siempre a nuestra liberación». Tiene un fondo degradado en rosa y morado con una imagen de una manifestación frente al Tribunal Supremo  en la que alguien con carteles que lee «Keep Our Clinics» (Mantengamos nuestras clínicas) y «Liberate Abortion» (Liberemos el aborto). Superpuestos en la parte superior hay nubes, el sol, una papaya y flores.

Celebramos el aborto en todas sus formas.

No importa dónde, cuándo, cómo o por qué, los servicios de aborto son nuestro derecho.

#CelebramosALosProveedoresDeAbortos que hacen realidad ese derecho.

We #CelebrateAbortionProviders who make that right a reality.

TL;DR: WTF Is Going on in Tennessee Five bills you need to know about

New strategy: fetal personhood via AI regulation. HB 0849 (Reneau) / SB 0837 (Pody) would create a new Tennessee legal definition of “human being” beginning at fertilization. #tnleg

We know this because our Helpline gets many calls from people being threatened with lawsuits or being investigated because their abusers reported them to cops.

And, the National Domestic Violence Hotline released a post-Roe survey that shows the surge in repro coercion due to state bans.

Louisiana is currently suing the FDA to attack telemedicine abortion while lawmakers keep pushing bills to criminalize abortion pills while claiming to protect survivors.

Antis are exploitative, cherrypicking and weaponizing survivor's experiences to abuse the law to control our bodies and lives.

A quote text graphic with a light aqua background and a footer of black on the bottom with the quote attribution in white "Sara Ainsworth, If/When/How's Chief Legal & Policy Director."

In black is the quote from Sara in Abortion, Every Day substack. It reads, "There’s nothing more abusive than trying to deny someone their bodily autonomy. That’s what abusers do—they don’t allow victims to say no to sex, they don’t let them have abortions, they don’t let them have control.”

ATTN: Antis are co-opting the term "repro coercion" to cut off access to abortion pills.

Yes. They're going that low.

Sara Ainsworth, who has spent her career providing legal support for survivors of domestic violence, spoke to @jessica.substack.com.web.brid.gy about this horrifying new tactic.

Tierra should still be here.

All abortion bans and restrictions punish people. These laws rob us of the dignity and ability to get the care we need.

If you or a loved one are being denied emergency care, call our Repro Legal Helpline for free legal support: 844-868-2812.

As our friends at the Transgender Education Network of Texas remind us, OPINIONS from Paxton are NOT law. This is the same tactic he deploys to create intimidation, pre-compliance and chaos around abortion care.

Today, Yanar Mohammed – one of the most formidable feminist leaders of her generation – was assassinated in her home in Baghdad in what appears to have been a targeted militia attack.

The shape of Iran with the words NO WAR WITH IRAN over it

The attacks on Iran, including one which killed dozens at a school for girls, are beyond horrific. End the US/Israel war machine now!

As Trump Bombs Iran, We Need to Reckon With the American War Machine We cannot afford to slip into despair. We must push back against militarism everywhere, at every turn.

"We in the U.S. need to reckon with the fact that so much of our state wealth, capacity, and technology goes toward burying children in rubble." Important piece by @neginowl.bsky.social

In mid January Trump posted that “retribution is coming” to Minnesota.

Yesterday the regime announced they’re cutting Medicaid to the entire state.

It’s social murder.

It will harm children, the disabled and vulnerable the most.

This is exactly what he promised to do.

Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday Some transgender Kansans said they had received the letters from the Department of Revenue. Others hadn’t by Wednesday evening.

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Cases like this are inevitable outcomes of laws criminalize pregnancy outcomes and stigmatize abortion.

In 2026, we’re organizing and taking action to get rid of these laws.

Help us ensure no one else is criminalized for how their pregnancy ends: tinyurl.com/DecrimPregnancyLoss

8 years ago, she miscarried at home.

40 days later, she was arrested and charged with a felony under a 1911 law.

After 2 years, we partnered with an attorney to get her home and get the case dismissed.

Last week, she won $100k from NV.

But no amount can undo being punished when she needed care.

I can't even speak about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. All I have to say is that the people constantly distinguishing between ICE, CBP and the REGULAR COPS are fools. That's it.

Exposing Republicans' Bad-Faith Abortion 'Coercion' Obsession They're pretending to care about abuse victims

'Coerced' abortions are all the anti-abortion movmt is talking abt lately, claiming the only way to prevent this is to ban telemedicine abortion. I unpacked this strategy—all too often accepted in good-faith—and abortion bans as gender-based violence with @nbedera.bsky.social @ifwhenhow.bsky.social:
