We'll keep updating you as we know more. Thanks to whomever anonymously donated to us in Rep. Keith Kidwell's name. He's not thrilled. We're not thrilled with you, Keith!
Follow our partners at @PPSATNC for action items you can take today.

There is so much more to unravel, and we'll be honest: we're still playing catchup + trying to manage our daily helpline (folks still need care and funding TODAY, no matter what the General Assembly is doing). We expect a Senate vote today and a House vote tomorrow.

Morning, y'all. The 46-page monster abortion bill coming up for an NC Senate vote today (and House vote tomorrow) was released to the public at 10:40 pm last night. We're combing through it alongside our partners and it sucks, frankly. Here's what we know:

Don’t tell you anyone we told you, but you can self-manage your abortion by dissolving 800mcg of misoprostol in either your cheeks and gums, under your tongue, or in your vagina every three hours until expulsion. This stays between us and 24,000 of our closest friends

Racism 101 in Nursing Academia, when you manipulate grades so that some students pass and others fail for doing the same work. When you give a straight A student an 89, when she earned an 98. When are we going to stop this foolishness. #AntiRacisminNursing

The Dr. @mclemoremr always comes with truth and snatching wigs. I can’t even give y’all a cliffs notes version. But she’s speaking truth about the need for preventative care and new models of care to improve reproductive health outcomes. – at Marina del Rey, CA

I’ve never immediately cried upon reading the first pages of a book. I mean ugly 😭. I FEEL like I’ve opened up a sacred dimension as I write chapters of my SACRED Birth QUAL research based on the patient expertise & experiences of 37 Black women who birthed in Oakland & LA.

Ask MotherToBaby about medications and other exposures in pregnancy and lactation. Sometimes the untreated conditions cause problems (mood conditions) and sometimes medications cause problems (isotretinoin). Ask us your questions at mothertobaby.org .

My name is Dr. Bhavik Kumar, I’m a family med physician and a trans and abortion care provider. Today I will testify before Congress on the impacts of abortion bans because my patients deserve better and because we need to name what these bans are rooted in — white supremacy.

Medicaid pays for:
🟥 43% of all births
🟥 67% of births among American Indian or Alaska Native mothers
🟥 66% of births among Black mothers
🟥 60% of births among Hispanic mothers
🟥 50% of rural births
We must expand yearlong postpartum Medicaid to promote birth equity!

Newly released @CDCgov data show that 4 in 5 pregnancy-related deaths in the United States between 2017-2019 were preventable.
We must take action to save moms' lives and pass the #Momnibus.
New! CDC just released #MaternalMortality Review Committee data that can be used to prioritize interventions to prevent pregnancy-related deaths among disproportionately affected groups: bit.ly/3UyIjbx
