Takeaways for the repro rights movement from my conversations w/ @AmyHM for @MotherJones: -> Listen to abortion providers in the South, they've lived it! -> National repro groups need to better invest in local orgs in banned states -> "Do not comply in advance" under Trump

NEW Texas anti-abortion bill filed would make abortion equal to criminal homicide and could outlaw birth control: HB 2197 meant to "protect the lives of preborn children with the same criminal and civil laws protecting the lives of human beings born alive" capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/89R/bi…

For @MotherJones, I talked to longtime independent abortion provider @AmyHM about how she's planning to pushback during the Trump era, including *expanding* services amid the anti-abortion administration. "Do not comply in advance," she stresses. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

My recent interview with reproductive rights champion Cecile Richards is up now at @TexasObserver. We talked about the importance of sharing often tragic abortion stories, what Trump's second term means for abortion, and how individuals can protect their repro rights under Trump:

In addition to the several bills seeking to block access to abortion pills by mail, Texas Republicans also plan to file an expanded "Heartbeat Law" this session. And activists say expect men to file more "wrongful death" for abortion lawsuits soon. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

My latest for @GuardianUS: As the Texas Legislature convenes, Republicans have filed a slew of bills aimed at stopping the flow of abortion pills. And anti-abortion activists are recruiting men to sue people who helped their partner obtain those pills: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

Texas AG Ken Paxton is suing a New York doctor for allegedly "unlawfully" providing abortion drugs to Texas residents, setting up a battle that asserts Texas law over NY's shield law, the filing here: texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/…

Not The Onion: Author of the Texas abortion ban argues the reason docs aren't saving patients – leading to deaths like ones recently reported by ProPublica – is not b/c of the law's lack of clarity but b/c "of articles like these published by ProPublica." houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outloo…

A remarkable abortion rights ballot victory in conservative Amarillo, Texas not only protected out-of-state abortion care but thwarted anti-abortion activists’ efforts to revive a nationwide ban on medication abortion. For @MotherJones: motherjones.com/politics/2024/…

Voters in the city of Amarillo, Texas will decide if they want to pass an abortion travel ban that encourages residents to file suit against anyone who helps a patient seek out-of-state care. Early voting totals show 57.9% are AGAINST it. Bkgrnd: texasobserver.org/far-right-abor…

Josseli died in Sept 2021. That’s after SB 8, the TX 6 week abortion ban, went into effect but before Roe was overturned. I appreciate ProPublica covering this bc it feels like many have already forgotten that Texans lived under a near-total ban for almost a year pre-Dobbs

Doctors said it was “inevitable” that Josseli Barnica would miscarry — yet they waited 40 hours to treat her under Texas’ abortion ban. Days later, Barnica died. propublica.org/article/jossel…
