The National Institute for Reproductive Health is steadfast in our support for bodily autonomy. We wholeheartedly oppose all forms of sexual violence, harassment, and discrimination. Everyone deserves the right to live in safety, free from fear.

The Hyde Amendment still blocks millions from care, forcing them to choose between rent, groceries, & health care. This policy enforces discrimination, harming Black, Indigenous, Latine, disabled, young, & low-income communities. Change is possible. States must act to make abortion care accessible.

Everyone should be able to access the care they need when, where, and how they need it! We trust doctors and patients, not politicians and judges, to decide if telehealth abortion care is what they need. #ProtectAbortionMeds

Medication abortion is a safe and effective option for both miscarriage and abortion care. Because the medications can be prescribed via telehealth, you can take them at home – a critical pathway to care when many patients face barriers to in-person care. We 🩷 medication abortion!

Birth centers are a place of power and love. They create a space for pregnant people, particularly Black and Indigenous pregnant people, to give birth with dignity and with joy. We’re thrilled to celebrate their work this week and all year long. #BirthCenterWeek #BCW26

People increasingly use AI chatbots for medical advice. These chatbots are not trustworthy – which is concerning for anyone, but particularly for those who might be seeking information about abortion or gender affirming care and live in a state with bans or restrictions.
Stop putting your personal health information into chatbotsWhy?
Standard chatbots generally do not fall under medical privacy laws like HIPAA, meaning your health data lacks standard legal protection.
Information you submit can be logged, analyzed, or used to train future model datasets.
Standard chatbots regularly misinterpret medical nuance, miss critical facts, and deliver incorrect or misleading health guidance.
Sensitive health queries can be linked to your digital identity, creating a permanent profile of your personal health information.

Nobody should ever have to justify a personal health care decision to politicians, strangers, family members, friends, or anyone else. Every reason deserves support and empathy, not judgment.

Reminder: Telehealth abortions are patient-centered care that reduce barriers, protect privacy, and ensure people can safely make decisions about their own lives with dignity. Let’s keep talking about them 🧡

This National Week of Action Against ALPRs, we demand states and cities pass policies that remove FLOCK cameras and other surveillance tools, not normalize them. Real safety is built on trust, accountability, and justice — not constant monitoring.

Abortion is health care, always. Abortion care is needed for both pregnancy loss AND unwanted pregnancy. By sharing her story and explaining the terminology, Hilarie Burton is showcasing that abortion is part of the fabric of all reproductive health.
Photo of actress Hilarie Burton with quote:

Having an abortion after my fetus died allowed for my uterus to heal in a way that made it healthy enough to carry future pregnancies. It doesn't matter if you use the term D&C. The official word on the hospital paperwork is abortion. That's what it was.

Today’s ruling is a heartbreaking outcome for trans girls who have asked for nothing more than to be treated with dignity & access to the same opportunities as their peers. We reject the majority’s reasoning. The fight for trans rights is far from over.

The cost of gas is rising, adding MORE financial hurdles for patients to jump over when trying to access care. Abortion funds can help, but they’re feeling the financial strain, too. States must support their local funds so more people can afford care. buff.ly/wBlait4

As we approach election season, remember that repro health care is ALWAYS on the ballot, even if it's not explicit. Whether through impactful ballot measures or electing a progressive city councilor — your vote matters more than you know! Make sure you know the dates of the elections in your state.

The systematic undermining of midwifery in the United States did not happen by accident — it was a power grab rooted in white supremacy and, patriarchy as a way to justify controlling the female body. All communities deserve access to midwives and doula care. 🎥: Dr. Anna Makaila Tubbs

#NationalWomensHealthWeek is a time to celebrate the strength, resilience, and well-being of women everywhere. But it’s also a reminder that access to abortion is a fundamental part of women’s health care — because health care should be safe, private, and on our own terms. 🧡 @npwf.bsky.social

Midwives provide vital, culturally reflective care. That’s why we need 1 million more. Their work saves lives and improves health outcomes, particularly for Black and Indigenous birthing people. State policymakers must support policies that help midwives provide care. #InternationalDayoftheMidwife

Today, SCOTUS issued a temporary administrative stay, pausing the 5th Circuit’s ruling through May 11th & briefly restoring telehealth access to mifepristone. This is a reprieve, not a resolution. The fight to ensure every person has telehealth access to mife is urgent & the case remains ongoing.

NIRH President Christian LoBue’s statement on the recent mifepristone telehealth court ruling: nirhealth.org/media/nirh-s...
NIRH President Christian LoBue’s statement on the recent mifepristone telehealth court ruling:
“This ruling is a blueprint for how abortion bans are meant to operate in a post Roe country — by reaching across state lines, surveilling pregnant people and their providers, and recasting patients as victims to justify the investigation, arrest, and jail time of providers."

The national teen pregnancy rate has gone down, and Republicans are actually MAD about it?? We shouldn't even have to say it, but teenagers having access to sex education, contraception, and abortion care is a net positive! 📣
