Women don’t get pregnant alone. We owe them much more than our silent support in the political fight ahead.
Today I made a $1 million donation to Planned Parenthood. Men, please speak up. If you can, consider contributing: ppact.org/david

When women's healthcare is stigmatized and siloed, pregnant women suffer — especially Black women.
I look forward to joining @MarchForMoms in Washington to stand up and speak out on this public health crisis. #BeyondMothersDay p.ppfa.org/2Yg9mKI

I am deeply disturbed by this. We cannot stand by as immigrants, asylum seekers, and their families are threatened, attacked, and vilified as a danger to this country.

In health care, just a little extra attention can have a big impact on patient experience. s.hbr.org/2H7N3jm

Yes, you can use your health insurance at Planned Parenthood — we’re like any other doctor’s office. Just check with your local Planned Parenthood health center to make sure your insurance is accepted. Find them here: p.ppfa.org/2LqKXAv #ThisIsHealthCare

Bad policies like the forced pregnancy bill are a direct result of voter suppression. If leaders can silence Georgians’ voices at the ballot box, they can ignore Georgians’ voices when in office. We will fight back in court and at the voting booth. #HB481

The United States is facing a maternal mortality crisis—and to address it, we have to talk about how women's healthcare has been singled out, stigmatized & attacked. #BeyondMothersDay

Did you know American women today are 50% more likely to die in the period around childbirth than their mothers were? Join us at the third annual #marchformoms on May 11th at 1 pm on the Mall to say enough! #beyondmothersday

Thank you to the Planned Parenthood educators across the country who work hard to ensure that students receive the sex education they need and deserve. #TeacherAppreciationWeek #SexEdForAll

Conscience protections are unconscionable. No patient should ever be denied coverage because of who they are or what they believe in. Imagine what healthcare could look like if you started from the belief that everyone is entitled to their humanity. nitter.gq/washingtonpost/status/…
Medical providers will be allowed faith-based exemptions for some treatments, including abortion, under new federal rule washingtonpost.com/religion/…
Loved hearing the stories behind the making of one of the best films this year @noshameperiod So proud of @RAYning
It was incredible to hear @rayning & @carmensense — two of the fiercest advocates I know — in conversation about the making of @noshameperiod.
"Period. End of Sentence." is helping to reshape the narrative around period equity... and it's an Oscar-award winning film!

A new mom herself, @DrLeanaWen, Physician and President of @PPFA, will be sharing her vision for integrated, equitable, and patient-centered care for all Moms in America! We are so proud to partner with @PPFA this year!
In allowing doctors, nurses & other healthcare providers to deny care to patients, this administration is providing legal cover for discrimination. #PutPatientsFirst
BREAKING: The Trump administration just finalized a rule that, if allowed to take effect, could result in people being denied health care because of their health care providers’ personal beliefs. #PutPatientsFirst

"We’ve done enough observing and debating the effects of bias and racism in our health care system. It’s time to demand better outcomes." Important op-ed by @SenWarren with a policy proposal to hold hospitals accountable for maternal health outcomes essence.com/feature/sen-eliz…
Lyric Chen retweeted
We need to make it clear that when we silo out one part of care, such as reproductive care or behavioral health care – that’s what leads to poor health outcomes. That’s a tool of oppression and a tool of misogyny. @DrLeanaWen @PPact Speaking truth today at #AtlanticPulse!
