Judge refuses to block sending abortion pill by mail for now, but says FDA must finish review A federal judge has ruled that the abortion drug mifepristone can continue to be dispensed by mail to people with prescriptions, at least for now. But U.S.

“From the courts to the Trump administration to state legislatures across the country, mifepristone and abortion access are very much still under attack." – Alexis McGill Johnson, President & CEO at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Birth control and abortion are not the same, but anti-abortion politicians are working hard to blur the line. This confusion isn’t an accident — it’s a strategy to control YOUR reproductive future.

The truth? Both are essential, lifesaving health care that everyone deserves access to. 💯

Louder for the people in the back! 📢

No, Abortion Pills Are Not Poisoning Your Drinking Water Opinion: A new GOP bill would require patients to collect their “medical waste” after a medication abortion, supposedly to protect the environment. That’s deliberate, strategic disinformation.

"This is impractical, more than a little gross, and downright cruel. While the legislation might be wrapped in seemingly progressive environmental language, it’s clearly meant to punish abortion patients."

Abortion bans led to higher preterm birth rates among Black women, study finds • Stateline Black women living in states with abortion bans were more likely to have preterm babies, compared with what would be expected in the absence of those bans, according to a study published in this month's issue of the American Journal of Public Health. A ...

Black women and babies already experience more complications and higher maternal and infant mortality rates because of systemic racism. Abortion bans are making it worse.

Pregnant people need access to abortion because abortion is essential, lifesaving health care.

The snip shift: March Madness used to drive vasectomies. Now abortion bans do. Once marketed as an excuse to watch basketball, vasectomies are now a way men say they can support their partners after the fall of Roe v. Wade.

ICYMI: Vasectomy care is now available at our Grand Rapids health center! If you're considering permanent birth control, book an appointment at PPMI.org/vasectomy to find out if a vasectomy is right for you.

An HPV test catches the kinds of HPV that can lead to cervical cancer. The sooner it's found the easier it is to treat. Be proactive for yourself and your loved ones by getting tested at your nearest Planned Parenthood health center.

The harrowing experience of being pregnant in post-Roe America Ali Velshi reports on the dangers of being pregnant in post-Roe America and how strict abortion laws are costing women their lives.

Ciji Graham deserved care. Instead, she was sent home without treatment for a life-threatening heart condition. She died days later.

Ciji's death was preventable — but when so-called "exceptions" are vague, providers hesitate, care gets delayed, and patients pay the price.

Planned Parenthood of Michigan was forced to shutter three clinics in 2025 ‘When you eliminate Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood, for reproductive health care, you're cutting off the patients who need us most,’ said Paula Thornton Greear, CEO of Planned Parentho...
