It's #SexEdForAll Month, but accessing sex ed has been increasingly difficult for young people. Young people have the right to receive the information and skills they need to protect their health. šŸ’ŖāœØ

Tomorrow is #FreeThePill Day! šŸŽ‰ 65 years after the FDA approved the first birth control pill, we’ve got @Opill_OTC – no prescription, no ID, no extra hoops. Let’s celebrate and keep fighting for barrier-free access for every person and every method šŸ™Œ #ThxBirthControl

It’s #FreeThePill Day! One year ago, the first OTC birth control pill—#Opill—became available across the US, thanks to Free the Pill & many others! This was a critical step toward ensuring that everyone has affordable access to the contraceptive method that works best for them. šŸ‘

Anti-abortion lawmakers want to ā€œdefundā€ Planned Parenthood & claim that federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) could absorb PP's patients. Our data shows it's unrealistic to expect FQHCs to serve millions who rely on Planned Parenthood for contraceptive care: gu.tt/4jbE00U

This baseless review of the FDA’s regulations on #mifepristone only escalates the ongoing attack on abortion and scientific evidence more broadly. 25+ years of evidence shows that mife is a safe and effective option for people seeking abortion care. gu.tt/43iIEnw

Thank you Rep. Diana DeGette for uplifting evidence & fighting to protect contraceptive access. Anti-abortion lawmakers who want to ā€œdefundā€ Planned Parenthood are putting millions of US women are at risk of being unable to get the high-quality reproductive health care services they deserve.

The US House just passed a bill that "defunds" #PlannedParenthood & guts #Medicaid. This reckless & dangerous bill also bans Medicaid coverage of trans health care for patients of all ages & aims to eliminate abortion coverage in ACA marketplace plans. gu.tt/4jbE00U

Our experts Anna Bernstein & Kelly Baden spoke with Mother Jones about conservative lawmakers' efforts to restrict insurance coverage for abortion in the budget reconciliation bill. Further limiting abortion coverage will escalate the SRHR crisis in the US. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

In the US, conservative members of Congress are advancing a reconciliation bill that slashes funding to #Medicaid—a critical source of health insurance—to cover tax cuts for the wealthy. Medicaid must be protected so people can get essential care, including #ReproHealth services.

Young people need #SexEd that’s medically accurate, inclusive, & culturally & age appropriate. Yet only 38 states & DC require this in schools. Policymakers must protect evidence-based sex ed & end funding for abstinence-only programs. More: guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/sex… #SexEdForAll
