What’s Happening in Spain Could Happen Here

John, Forty years after legalizing abortion, Spain has moved to make it a constitutional right, following what France did last year, the only country to do so thus far. [1] This is a great step forward for reproductive freedom, a freedom Reproaction fights for every day. Join us …

Self-Managed Abortion with Pills Where You Live: Mid-Atlantic Newsletter

More Babies; No Money

John, Ever hear of so-called ‘restorative reproductive medicine’? According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it’s “unproven” and “not a medical term.” [1] Yet that hasn’t stopped anti-abortion leaders from pushing it as an option for people struggling w…

No, We Do Not Need Pro-Life ‘Progressives’

The Dictator is Now Your OB-GYN

John, This week, Trump urged pregnant women not to use acetaminophen, saying instead they should “fight like hell not to take it” and to “tough it out” when in pain. [1] Why? Because he wants you to think autism is somebody’s fault. And of course first on the list for blame is … …
