Psst John, AAF was on break last week—did we miss anything? Woof. It's been seven whole days since the unprecedented, incredibly cruel bill known as SB8 went into effect in Texas, but my team at AAF is all rested up and limber from our time off and we're ready to burn it all down.

As a board member of the Whole Woman's Health Alliance, I couldn't be prouder of the clinic staff who have shown that they are committed more than ever to providing legal abortion care for their patients.
