At the top, black type-writer style text on a white slip of paper reads "repro merch." There are photographs of gray cats posing a Care For All Wisconsin shirt, a rePROs Fight Back shirt, and a Patient Forward tote bag. At the bottom, a gray cat has a speech bubble above them that says: "show your love for bodily autonomy AND support organizations doing good work! added bonus: they are also comfy for us cats to sit on."

HUGE shoutout to the activists and abortion storytellers who are fiercely advocating to remove barriers to getting abortion care later in pregnancy in MA, incl. friends of the podcast Kate Dineen @reproequitynow.bsky.social, Jeanette Kincaid @dupontclinic.bsky.social, @patientforward.bsky.social! <3
Quote graphic featuring gold, yellow, and dark purple paper scrapbook elements in the background, as well as a sunflower, ladybug, and sparrow. The quote reads, in a typewriter-inspired typeface: “From my perspective as a later abortion patient who was forced to travel, I think that we in Massachusetts have a real moral imperative right now to expand access to abortion care throughout pregnancy...and really commit to being a bastion for reproductive justice.” The quote is attributed to Kate Dineen, abortion later in pregnancy patient & advocate & Board Member of Reproductive Equity NowQuote graphic featuring gold, yellow, and dark purple paper scrapbook elements in the background, as well as a sunflower, ladybug, and sparrow. The quote reads, in a typewriter-inspired typeface: “Getting rid of the gestational ban would absolutely increase access to care, not just for people in Massachusetts, but for people in the surrounding states and or even in the tri-state area.” The quote is attributed to Jeanette Kincaid, Associate Director of Care Coordination at DuPont Clinic.

4 years ago today, the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, pregnancy criminalization has reached new heights. But reproductive justice does not begin or end with Roe, and the criminalization of pregnancy is far from new. Pregnant people deserve a world with dignity and autonomy.
