What a wonderful feeling it is to provide ppl w all options & care when undecided about a pregnancy- parenting, abortion or adoption- here to support! Fuck crisis pregnancy centers that lie & coerce people. Reproductive freedom for all #reproductivejustice
I recently gave a zoom talk about abortion, self managed abortion & full spectrum repro health. Some anti’s made it in the zoom & tried to shame & intimidate in the chat. Just hear to say this work won’t stop & I’m proud to provide this care!
PSA: inexpensive non-digital pregnancy tests are very very accurate & same ones we use in medical settings. There is no clinical reason to buy digital tests & in fact anecdotally several colleagues & myself have seen false positives w digital clear blue tests
YES. Spread the word. Don’t call hotlines or funds for these reasons, please!
DO NOT CALL AN ABORTION FUND HOTLINE FOR VOLUNTEER OR MEDIA INQUIRIES
Medication abortion pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, do NOT have a "weight limit." They are safe and EFFECTIVE at any weight. Let’s give people accurate information so they can make informed decisions for their lives.
I love being a family med doc providing prenatal care and abortion care. Emphasis on the word care. People need care in a lot of life circumstances & I’m lucky I can help facilitate the care that people want.
Amen. It’s traumatic. Let’s celebrate Black birth, Black love & Black joy instead!
I don’t like the death and pregnancy tweets as someone trying to have kids in a few years 🥲 like damn I’m reminded daily about that stat
Black people’s reaction to finding out you’re a doctor never ever gets old. Keeps you going! Security person- "are you a nurse here?" Me- "I’m the doctor here today." Security person- "yaaas, get it sis, DOCTOR April, love to see it!!! Thank you!!!"
Happy abortion provider appreciation day! It’s a privilege to provide this care in multiple ways and <3 to all those that help people get care they need. People needing abortions & people helping & caring for those people aren’t going away!
Today I didn’t work through lunch & took a proper lunch break. I went for a walk, ate an actual meal & meditated. Great start for a Monday. We must continue to take care of ourselves cause who else will?! Rest rest rest.
Shout out to all the abortion care providers out there! Physicians, nurses, midwives, counselors, social workers, doulas, medical assistants, front desk staff, etc. Between covid, continued restrictions & white supremacy, this work is EXHAUSTING. Thank you!
Does anyone know any insurance executives? What do they say about these kind of things & the million other horrific examples of how insurance is the worse? I would really like to talk to someone’s manager!
A child in America is dying. Child needs meds at end of life for pain. Insurance refuses to fill it w/o prior authorization. Team member pays for med bc American healthcare is broken beyond belief that insurance denies a $12.99 medication to a dying child in America in 2022.
