One of the first thing we learn in med school is that "patients sometimes don't follow the textbook". Having sweeping rules based on age doesn't take into account the individual, their needs and their autonomy to make decisions for themselves, including young people. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/h...
To SOOO many people, menopause is a mystery, including to many OBGYNs that don't get training in it (sex/ageism? pronatalism?). But it can be a debilitating situation for many people that have a hard time finding answers. This is an excellent summary to learn more. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/10/w...
Reminder! Last week to submit a rockstar abortion provider you know to receive an award from @prh.org! It is an incredibly honor in our community and we need moments of joy in this dark time. Take 5 minutes of your day and nominate someone today!!

We talk a lot about coerced sterilization in Black and Latinx communities, sometimes in disability spaces. But just wanting to lift this story up as well. So many communities have been harmed by white supremacist eugenic ideas. We must work together to end it. nativenewsonline.net/health/stole...
New Jerseyans deserve an accessible, affordable, safe, and welcoming state for ALL. And providers like me deserve protections so we can keep going to work and serving our communities. Tell NJ Lawmakers to pass the People’s Agenda this lame duck. Send a message NOW: action.aclu.org/send-message...
Thanks Patch for chatting with me about our new clinic: Luminosas Wellness Clinic. We will make sure patients have access to critical health services like #abortion and #genderaffirmingcare here in NJ. patch.com/new-jersey/h...
I’m really excited to see @drkbrandi.bsky.social in the news so much recently!!
I wasn’t kidding when I described her future clinic as a Lisa Frank dreamscape, and I’ve donated to make it a reality more than a few times… but seeing it in the news makes it so real now. ☺️🦄🌈

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.
Glad to be out there to talk about my constant anxiety aka the NJ governor race. We need someone that is going to protect patients access to #abortion & other healthcare and providers like me so we can take care of our communities. That's @mikiesherrill.bsky.social! www.insidernj.com/press-releas...
Thanks @amsanational.bsky.social for featuring me in this piece. So glad to work with an organization training the next generation of bold providers to understand the complexity of care and fight for the communities we serve. www.amsa.org/voices-from-...

What an excellent read. I'm in no way an expert in this space (the author is!). But as an advocate for reproductive justice and understands that all liberation is tied together, this cannot continue. All people deserve dignity and safety to live out their best lives. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...
The humiliation that I went through in my medical training will never leave my bones. I will always carry the mantra - be the clinical teacher you wish you had. Medicine can and should be different. kevinmd.com/2025/04/teac...
Medication abortion is:
💊 Safe
💊Effective
💊Necessary care
That’s why we’re defending #MifeInAll50 to keep it within reach in ALL 50 states for everyone who needs it!

Thanks @cnn.com for quoting me and cool people I respect (including my #NJ buddy @professormutch.bsky.social) about how #WV is suggesting people call the cops when they miscarry & hold onto their tissue. Just another example of unnecessarily policing pregnant people.

Thanks @OurBodyOurselves for sharing our conversation about the complexity of contraception: the history of reproductive control, the nuances of contraceptive counseling and how each person should decide for themselves.

Happy to be there to support @mikiesherrill.bsky.social for NJ Governor! I've talked to lots of politicians: she gets it. She will not just keep the status quo 4 #abortion but build more protections so we can improve care for patients & protect providers like me.

This year's governors race could be the decided about whether New Jerseyans have access to abortion, gender affirming care and other crucial health issues. I'm attending Vot-ER's event, “Plan It & Build It: New Jersey Voter Engagement Session” - join me! #VotER www.mobilize.us/vot-er/event...
Beautiful. This is the best description I've seen regarding the care that I and many providers that provide #abortion later in pregnancy looks like. It is an honor to take care of folx, regardless of how/why they got there. Excited to be in this space again soon. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
