Donations to abortion funds are down but the need is greater than ever. Texans face longer travel, higher costs, and more barriers to care. Our Intake Director, Charlie Hughes, spoke with @marytuma.bsky.social at @texasobserver.org about how TEA Fund continues to show up for our communities.

Abortion Funds See Dwindling Donations as Demand and Cost Rise

A flood of cash following Roe’s fall has dried up, leaving Texas nonprofits struggling to keep pace with the state’s abortion access crisis.

Watching abortion clinics opening up in non-ban states. Wish that could be us.

Very important thread from the Board Chair of @prhdocs.bsky.social about why many reproductive health physicians and experts are *opposing* SB 31 and HB 44 (which many Texas Democrats are touting as a necessary abortion exception bill)

Thanks to @prhdocs.bsky.social / @dr-moayedi.bsky.social and @nwlc.org for explaining how this is all just a ruse to try to get people to accept oppression newrepublic.com/article/1918...

Screenshot from The New Republic
The idea here is to try to gross people out to support a law that's not principally about water but rather is designed to drastically limit access to medication abortion—and to make people afraid of the drugs, as if they're some kind of dangerous chemical.
This scare campaign to give people "the ick" is a bit absurd to Moayedi, who still remembers the first time she saw a C-section in medical school and being shocked at just how much force surgeons use to open the abdominal cavity. The procedure is, to some extent, violent, she said-as are orthopedic surgeries using power tools.
"We are made of bones and blood and nerves and connections, and that's what medicine is about," she said. "The focus on trans health care or abortion care specifically being something different than the rest is really just a myopic view of what the reality is." Caring for bodies necessarily involves some amount of blood.

Screenshot from The New Republic:
Conservatives are using stigmatizing language as an intentional tactic to demonize the people who need this care and to discredit those who provide it, said Ma'ayan Anafi, senior counsel at the National Women's Law Center. "This is well-studied care. It's care that's provided according to well-established standards," Anafi said. "The goal of this kind of inflammatory language is to make it sound experimental and dangerous." Framing abortion and gender-affirming care this way creates a chilling effect that can lead to violence against providers and threats against health care clinics. "This strategy of vilifying providers has a real-world impact," they said. "It both discourages providers from offering care that they want to provide, and it means that patients need to also be weighing their own safety and their own privacy when they're trying to access the care they need."

I have a twice-weekly newsletter! I wrote about pronatalists -- of which #ElonMusk is probably the most famous one --- and how they basically want 21st century eugenics and JD Vance is a fucking loser. www.marybadthings.com/p/a-bunch-of...

Another night of calling pharmacies across a city, just to find one that has Ella in-stock, right now. There has to be a better way for people to access emergency contraception. I would love @costplusdrugs.com to step in and help people across the country access ulipristal acetate.

Hi @mcuban.bsky.social - OBGYN in #Dallas here! I love your pharmacy & I take care of patients from all over #TX via telemedicine. My patients struggle getting Ella: highly effective, prescription emergency contraception. Most pharmacies don't have it in stock. Can @costplusdrugs.com help?

I mean, I am blaming them. Those of us who do 'the work' spent the past 4 years begging the administration to flex their power to make actual change for our communities. We got campaigning on our suffering and a whole lot of nothing else. I'm not surprised at their ineffectiveness now.

JUST IN: A new H5N9 bird flu variant has been found in U.S. poultry for the first time at a California duck farm. This variant, linked to the dangerous H5N1 strain, has led to the culling of nearly 119,000 birds to stop the outbreak.

In my practice, I often do dating scans - an ultrasound to tell you how many weeks pregnant you are. During those visits, I go over pregnancy options. If someone is unsure what they want to do, I discuss 1st trimester #pregnancy care, signs of a #miscarriage, and #abortion options.

It is *once again* time to remind my colleagues that we are not agents of The State. We are servants of our communities. It is incumbent on every healthcare provider to educate themselves on how they participate in the perpetuation of State violence in medicine.
