Thank you Senator Tester for taking the time to meet with our staff, for listening to your constituents, and for standing with us in this fight to protect reproductive rights!

America was founded on freedom and we don’t need the government telling anyone how to make their own health care decisions. Happy to sit down with Jessica, who organizes her community in Bozeman with @PPAdvocatesMT.

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Montana representative, Quinn, is speaking.
"This bill absolves all those refusing care of all criminal, administrative, or civil liability even if a patient is harmed. There is no protection for the patient, even if their life is at risk."

The EACH Act would finally put an end to the harmful Hyde Amendment and help ensure that everyone can access affordable abortion care, no matter their income. twitter.com/AllAboveAll/st

SB 99 has a hearing date: Fri. 1/27! The bill would ban gender-affirming care for minors in MT & prevent public school teachers & counselors from participating in a minor’s social transition, (which can be as simple as referring to a student by a new name).
What can you do?

In the continuous struggle for full bodily autonomy for everyone that needs it, & for those who face the greatest systemic barriers, it’s critical that we advocate for abortion care in tandem with protecting our courts & judiciary - Especially here in MT.

"...the months ahead will be difficult as Montanans watch legislators try to chisel away at our constitutionally protected right to privacy. But as activists, leaders, & supporters of the reproductive rights movement in MT, we are not deterred."#mtleg

Sen. Usher stopped Mike Meloy, former legislator and legal expert from speaking, saying he wasn’t on the bill. Meloy retorts, “this is about the bill, the legislative body can’t do this, it’s unconstitutional.”

Fight stigma! There is NO shame in talking about abortion!

Tips on talking about abortion:
Skip euphemisms and just say it: abortion.
Use “abortion later in pregnancy.”
Include gender-neutral/inclusive terms — like “people” or “women, trans, and nonbinary people.”
Skip euphemisms and just say it: abortion.
Use “abortion later in pregnancy.”
Include gender-neutral/inclusive terms — like “people” or “women, trans, and nonbinary people.”Remember when anti-abortion activists said they want to leave abortion to states? They lied.
Some of what they want from Congress in 2023:
-Pass a NATIONAL abortion ban
-Restrict access to SAFE, effective abortion pills
-“DEFUND” Planned Parenthood, blocking patients from care twitter.com/politicongress

It’s Transgender Awareness Week — and we’re proud to celebrate the transgender community. Attacks on reproductive rights are linked to attacks on trans rights. They’re both a part of a political agenda to control our bodies — but we’re fighting back.

We did it and it was all due to the families who shared their deeply personal stories, the healthcare providers who worked tirelessly to educate voters, and all our volunteers who helped us spread awareness. #LR131, a cruel and unnecessary proposed government mandate, is defeated

Last Friday was #WomensEqualityDay and we still don’t have paid leave. More than 65 million women provide unpaid care to their family and loved ones and 84% of Black mothers are household breadwinners. Today, we continue to push to save women’s jobs and lives. #WeDemandMore

Listen up: Kansas proves voters are energized to fight like hell for their right to control their bodies after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Anti-abortion politicians should brace themselves to feel voters’ wrath come November.

Ok y'all, we gotta talk about Kansas 👀
ICYMI: Kansas voters came out LOUDLY for reproductive freedom in the first post-Roe v. Wade vote directly on abortion. Oh, and did we mention abortion rights supporters won by double digits?
Let's talk about why that happened 🧵:

Can anyone tell us what specific purpose an appendix serves to our health & wellbeing? A "womb" doesn't make a woman & everyone should have the right to make decisions about their bodies (which includes ALL of their organs). Like & share if you agree!

We’re in a national health care crisis and need officials at every level of government to do everything within their authority to fight for access to abortion. This executive order is an important step.
We can and must do more to address this crisis. twitter.com/WhiteHouse/sta
