Regardless of gender expression, identity or sexual orientation, all LGBTQ+ people need access to inclusive, affordable and culturally competent health services. Our policies and health systems must reflect these needs—it's a matter of basic dignity and autonomy. #Pride

Providing abortion is an act of love and community care. Abortion providers deserve to live without fear of violence or harassment. Today we honor Dr. Tiller and his legacy and send love to his family and loved ones. We also are sending love to abortion providers everywhere.

14 years ago today, Dr. George Tiller was assassinated by anti-abortion extremist Scott Roeder while serving as an usher at his church. Prior to the murder, Tiller had been the target of harassment and violence for nearly two decades, including an earlier shooting he survived.

Dr. George Tiller spoke of trusting women & providing abortion to support women's hopes, dreams, potential, and their lives. He said,"Abortion is a matter of survival for women.” He was murdered by an anti-abortion extremist 14 yrs ago today. We honor him by continuing to FIGHT!

Today, #SB131 was signed by Governor Lombardo. I want thank him for following through on his commitment to ensure that Nevada won't participate in prosecutions of women who come here to exercise their reproductive rights. #nvleg

🚨🚨 South Carolina's governor signed the 6-week abortion ban, which is now in effect. We expect and hope that the courts will block this horrific ban soon. Patients and providers deserve to access abortion care and do their jobs without this legal chaos and confusion.
