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!

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.

Despite the FALSE claims and FEIGNED concerns about the safety of people who are self managing their abortion, the real risk is not medical, it's legal. People have been interrogated, arrested and jailed for suspicion of self managing their abortion. #criminalizationisnotcare

Let me clearly say that illegal does not equal unsafe. People have been safely managing their abortions for centuries without medical supervision. We can both honor those who were impacted by unsafe abortion and acknowledge that self managed abortion today looks very different.

I want to take a moment though to correct some misinformation (and outright lies) we heard from a number of witness, none of whom are health care providers or experts in abortion care, by the way. My face says it all but here's a 🧵....

Thank you @NBCJoshua for having me on @NBCNewsNow to discuss the medical and health implications for this ruling. We must center the voices of abortion providers (@prhdocs) and people who have abortions (@AbortionStories) in this conversation.

This is not to just generate a list of atrocities-but to also name the ways that medical providers, acting in collusion with the State, uphold white supremacy practice. These are not “a few bad apples.” It is woven into the fabric of medicine. see @DorothyERoberts @haw95 for more

Every time you see the word looting I want you to hear Kimberly Jones’s analysis in your head: "As long as we are focused on the what [looting] we are not focusing on the why." piped.video/watch?v=llci8MVh…
More than 100 people were arrested Monday following a night of looting and unrest in Chicago, Illinois, that left 13 officers injured and caused damage in the city’s upscale Magnificent Mile shopping. to.pbs.org/3gNPxnI
