📢 The US Supreme Court made the shocking decision to overturn #Roe last June. In the year since, a combination of trigger bans and new bans by anti-abortion lawmakers have decimated abortion rights and access across the country. See how the policy landscape has changed ⬇️

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

Throughout June, we'll share new resources that honor #PrideMonth by highlighting critical ways that #SRHR and #LGBTQ rights intersect, including attacks on abortion access and gender-affirming care in many of the same US states.

🏳️‍🌈 It's #PrideMonth! For too long, sexual and reproductive health and rights have been treated as separate from #LGBTQ issues. #Pride reminds us of the need for a comprehensive approach, and that advancing the rights of LGBTQ+ people = advancing rights for all. 🏳️‍🌈

Inequity in US Abortion Rights and Access: The End of Roe Is Deepening Existing Divides

We must continue to fight against bans and for protective policies. Federal and state policymakers must step up to protect and expand abortion access now ⬇

This is unacceptable. 📢 Everyone deserves access to compassionate, affordable abortion care in their communities and the ability to make decisions about their reproductive health and bodies with dignity.

Let's be clear: People struggled to get care when Roe was in place, especially Black & Brown people & those living w/ low incomes. Access is even further out of reach now. The same communities are most impacted by the enormous obstacles to essential care.

After a chaotic and confusing year: ❌ Abortion is banned in 13 states ❌ More than 16.5 million people who may need an abortion don't have access in their state ❌ Abortion care is also unavailable in Wisconsin and 6 states are enforcing gestational bans not allowed under Roe

#GOODNEWS: Today, the Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down two citizen-enforced abortion bans mirroring Texas’s S.B. 8. The two copycat bans were passed in 2022 before Roe v. Wade was overturned.

It’s not just about abortion. Advocating for abortion goes hand-in-hand with advocating for gender-affirming care and birth control. Access to health care is a right, no matter what.

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 we remember the critical care provided by Dr. George Tiller. We name the clear through line between white supremacy and violence in the name of anti-abortion sentiment. It's all part of the same effort to control, silence & erase communities practicing self-determination.

Through our #ReproHealth Impact Study, we’ll continue analyzing the effects of policy changes on US publicly funded #FamilyPlanning care & building the evidence base on the harm of disruptions to care stemming from ideologically motivated policy attacks.

guttmacher.org

Cost barriers have only been made worse by attacks on publicly supported contraceptive services in many states and at the federal level, for instance through #Medicaid restrictions or the now-reversed #TitleX gag rule put in place by the Trump administration.

These new data provide a baseline for us to monitor changes in access to & use of #ReproHealth services following drastic #FamilyPlanning funding shifts. And as #SRHR policies change at state & national levels, we need to track the impact on people’s ability to get care.

Respondents in #Arizona, #Iowa and #Wisconsin reported they had struggled to get contraceptive services in the past year because of a lack of health insurance coverage, cost and logistic issues (e.g., child care or arranging travel to a health facility).
