Telemedicine Abortion Provider Alison Case: “Helping People in Texas Access Abortion Care” [[link removed]]
[link removed] [[link removed]]
BY CARRIE N. BAKER | As we await the fate of Roe v. Wade , Ms.’s “Online Abortion Provider” series will spotlight the wide range of new telemedicine abortion providers springing up across the country in response to the recent removal of longstanding FDA restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone. One such provider is Dr. Alison Case, a family medicine doctor in Indiana. After Texas banned most abortions last year and Texans began flooding into New Mexico for abortion health care, Whole Woman’s Health offered Case the opportunity to provide telemedicine abortion to patients in New Mexico.
“We should make sure people have their own autonomy in making decisions for themselves about when to have a family and when not to have a family. These are really basic things. If we can’t get those services to people in person, then it’s great that we can offer them virtually. Particularly in the case of Texas, where we know there’s a whole state where people are not able to access care.”

Sundance 2022: “The Janes,” a Lively Documentary About the Movement To Provide Safe Abortions Pre-Roe [[link removed]]
BY AVIVA DOVE-VIEBAHN | In five years (1968-1973), the Janes provided an estimated 11,000 safe abortions to women and girls in and around the city of Chicago. The documentary The Janes provides a somewhat chronological account of their work, ending with the public arrest of several of its members, the threat of long prison sentences, and the interventions of their attorney. But it’s so much more than a mere history lesson—it’s a vibrant, attentive film that emphasizes the collaborative spirit and radical potential of a small community able to do tremendous work on a large scale.
February 2022 Reads for the Rest of Us [[link removed]]
KARLA J. STRAND | Each month, I provide Ms. readers with a list of new books being published by writers from historically excluded groups. The aims of these lists are threefold:
1.
I
want
to
do
my
part
in
the
disruption
of
what
has
been
the
acceptable
“norm”
in
the
book
world
for
far
too
long—white,
cis,
heterosexual,
male;
2.
I
want
to
amplify
amazing
works
by
writers
who
are
women,
Black,
Indigenous,
Latinx,
APIA/AAPI,
international,
LGBIA+,
TGNC,
queer,
disabled,
fat,
immigrant,
Muslim,
neurodivergent,
sex-positive
or
of
other
historically
marginalized
identities—you
know,
the
rest
of
us;
and
3.
I
want
to
challenge
and
encourage
you
all
to
buy,
borrow
and
read
them!

We're kicking off our Road to Confirmation series with a deep dive into President Biden’s promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court. Who are the most likely candidates? What credentials and experience would they bring to the role? What distinguishes the speculated short-list candidates from each other? And if confirmed, how would a Biden nominee influence the Court?
We hope you'll listen, subscribe, rate and review today!
