Starting off 2026 with a #ReproJustice win 🎉 In a 4-1 decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court found the state’s two abortion bans violated a 2012 state constitutional amendment that affirms the ability for competent adults to make their own healthcare decisions.

Costco claims the decision not to sell #Mifepristone is a “lack of demand from our members and other patients.” But really, they folded under pressure. As states continue to tighten their restrictions on abortion across the country, patients should be able to what they need wherever they can get it.

Texas claims it's clarifying its abortion ban—but confusion will continue. We’ve seen the deadly impact of delayed care: sepsis, unbearable waiting, death. This bill: ✖️ Doesn’t cover fetal anomalies, rape, or incest ✖️ Keeps criminal penalties ✖️ Leaves hospital lawyers—not doctors—calling the shots
