Every new COE added to the directory represents increased access to this essential, evidence-informed, person-centered clinical care.

Bernie Sanders: Who should make the decision regarding her own body? Shall it be a woman to be the United States Senate, governors, Attorney Generals? Who should make that decision? Nisha Verma M.D., M.P.H., FACOG: I do want to highlight some misinformation that we've been hearing around the source of some of the harm that we're seeing right now. A lot of the cases that we're hearing about are a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. People are desperate because they cannot get the care that they need in their communities with their trusted clinicians and people in their communities in the way that they need. And that is why we are seeing these cases come up. It is a direct result of abortion bans and restrictions. Access makes people safer.

Louisiana AG Liz Murrill bemoans that telemedicine Rx plus shield laws allowing Rx across state lines lead to 900 abortions a month in LA; some folks later go to emergency room.

Evidence-based witness from @prh.org later notes people are ordering pills BECAUSE states like Louisiana banned abortion

ICYMI, the Society invited Mitch Creinin, MD & Dave Turok, MD, MPH to unpack the “science” behind the EPPC paper, concluding, “The report is not a scientific study, does not represent any true scientific findings, and is simply propaganda that claims to be science.” societyfp.org/wp-content/u...

Telehealth expands access to safe, timely, person-centered abortion care. Calls to restrict mifepristone access by reinstating outdated in-person dispensing requirements are baseless, medically unnecessary, and unduly burdensome.

Fact check: Real, rigorous #ScienceSays that medication abortion care is highly safe and effective, in both telehealth and in-clinic care models. The evidence is overwhelming: societyfp.org/wp-content/u...
