Our city governments act as a line of defense against oppressive state policies while centering Reproductive Justice. We’re building a foundation that enables these investments to grow in the future.

At a time when families, municipalities, states, and our entire nation feel the squeeze of rising costs and deteriorating material conditions, we all hold a responsibility to ensure our limited resources are distributed equitably to better serve our communities, not political agendas.

We deserve access to compassionate and high-quality prenatal care, providers who listen and act without fear of prosecution, a state that trusts us to make our own decisions about our bodies and our futures, and a system that values our lives.

Theft of our bodily autonomy is the ultimate tool of an authoritarian regime, and Texas has been its proving ground.

Hidden political agendas should not be the reason Texans do not survive their pregnancies. We deserve transparency and access to dignified care. Thank you @vikkigoodwintx.bsky.social for standing with us 💚

Religion note: Seeing at least one likely pastor (wearing a stole) in here. (Many prominent anti-abortion activists are religious, but faith leaders have been an active part of the abortion rights movement essentially since the beginning.)

Activists and elected officials are demonstrating outside Texas’ health department in Austin as the state’s maternal mortality committee holds a meeting closed to the public and press about the women who have died since the state banned abortion.

Any investment in reproductive healthcare access will also reduce the need for more costly emergency interventions later on.

Attacking our bodily autonomy is about so much more than abortion. It’s about control. Reproductive justice calls upon us to address the material conditions that real people in our communities are facing every day.

All abortion bans, including bans on medication abortion, are rooted in racism, cruelty, and misinformation. Not science.

The San Antonio Reproductive Justice Fund, renamed the Women’s Health Fund, today secured enough votes to make it into the San Antonio Fiscal Year 2027/2028 Budget. Reproductive Justice is about health equity, access, and autonomy for everyone.

We stand in full solidarity with Tierra Walker’s family. Deaths like hers inflict scars down to the bone and beyond. The absence of our mothers alters entire families for generations. Our movement will build power for a Texas where justice governs at the center.

FYI: Abortion pills can be mailed to every state, including Texas. You can also order pills before you need them, which is called “advanced provision." Visit ineedana.com for more information and resources.

Reproductive justice is local. Even when our state government attacks our freedoms and strips resources from our communities, we are not powerless. We can organize. We can demand better. And at the local level, we can win. 🧡

The Texas committee tasked with reviewing maternal deaths has decided to forgo analyzing the two years following the demise of Roe v Wade. Health care advocates and lawmakers believe politics played a role, at least tacitly. My latest for @texasobserver.org: www.texasobserver.org/maternal-mor...

Texas Maternal Mortality Committee's Next Report Will Skip Post-'Roe' Deaths. Lawmakers Suspect Political Influence.
And one Texan says the body’s decision “retriggered” the pain of losing his wife, who counts among the preventable deaths that soon followed the state’s abortion bans.

When abortion is banned, we lose our choice of when and if to become pregnant, and pregnancy becomes less safe for everyone — especially Black birth givers, who are three times more likely to die during pregnancy in states with abortion bans, including Texas.

Reproductive justice teaches us that the right to have children, the right not to have children, and the right to parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities are inseparable.

We have seen an increase in intimate partner violence in this era of abortion bans. 1 in 3 Texans will experience domestic violence in their lifetime; anti-abortion bounty laws enacted by the state only worsen these rates.
