Abortion is:
✅ Essential health care
✅ A necessary part of reproductive health
✅ A human right
We call on public officials and policymakers to join us to #EndAbortionStigma https://t.co/tHa5USXxh9

Everybody should be able to access any health care, including abortions, WITHOUT shame, unnecessary restrictions, or outside interference.

But bans like #SB8 are literally designed to shame and stigmatize health care decisions. #BansOffOurBodies
https://t.co/3BmIRz30o9

The facts are clear, #SB8 will disproportionately harm people of color. In 2018, of abortions reported in #Texas:
👉27% were Black patients
👉39% were Hispanic patients
👉7% were patients from other racial backgrounds

🗣️Abortion is health care. It must be accessible to ALL.

You should be able to access an abortion.
WHENEVER.
WHEREVER.
AND FOR ANY REASON.

Unsafe abortions in India account for nearly 10% of maternal deaths. It is time for India to fully decriminalize abortion care and improve access to safe abortions.
