Adriana Smith was a young mom and Emory Hospital nurse who tragically lost her life in February while nine weeks pregnant. Georgia’s abortion ban is forcing Adriana’s family — against their wishes — to keep her body on a ventilator for 7 months to incubate the fetus. The cruelty is unfathomable.

The best later abortion reporting I’ve ever read. Thank you @amylittlefield.bsky.social for lifting up our patients and staff in such a tender, respectful way, and for calling out the terrible political decisions that got us viability bans.

What police and prosecutors are doing to #KarenRead is WILD, but if this is how far they’ll go to frame a rich white woman who was dating a cop and has a world class defense team, imagine what they do to low-income Black and brown folks every day. It’s not just corruption—it’s structural violence.

Um no? Trump’s DOJ is NOT defending medication abortion. They’re arguing the same thing SCOTUS previously ruled on standing (not the right plaintiffs) bc they think this lawsuit will fail and look like a big loss. They have easier paths — refile, enforce Comstock, or take internal HHS action.

Most people criminalized for their pregnancy outcomes were reported by a care professional (45%), but... ⚠️ Providers aren't required to report suspected self-managed abortion, AND ⚠️ In most cases, to do so is a direct violation of HIPAA ifwhenhow.org/resources/se...

A little tax season reminder of how anti-abortion lobbyists have spent decades strategically weaving "fetal personhood" provisions and abortion disinformation into unrelated policies to make it nearly impossible to unravel through litigation.

Brilliant reporting by @sofiaresnick.bsky.social at @statesnewsroom.com on our study published in @greenjrnl.bsky.social last month, which concluded that clinic policies that deny clinic-based procedural abortion care to people with higher body weights are NOT evidence-based:

I understand there's a lot of uncertainty in higher ed right now but I do think we need to ask - as we always need to ask - if all the belt-tightening is really necessary or if it's just leadership seizing a crisis moment to make more ideologically-motivated cuts.
