RFK Jr orders mifepristone review as anti-abortion groups push for ban

" ... statements that echo proposals found in Project 2025, the 900-page playbook published by the Heritage Foundation and for which the EPPC was an advisory board member.

Project 2025 calls to end telemedicine prescriptions of abortion pills as an “interim step” to revoking mifepristone’s approval altogether."

NY Times - #News 1 Dead as Bomb Damages Palm Springs Fertility Clinic, Mayor Says…The bombing appeared to be an intentional act of violence, a fire official said. The explosion came from within or near a parked vehicle. | Because #WomensHealth and #ReproductiveRights have been politicized and demonized while the anti-choice, anti-abortion movement has been weaponized. #WomensRights are under attack on all fronts, from health care, to divorce, to voting, to hiring practices, to societal roles. Over fifty-one percent of the US population is being forcefully suppressed and disenfranchised. #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #Feminism

Apparently a car bomb went off in front of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California #reproductiverights

"It's going to be a patchwork of trying to fill in those gaps," Koskenoja said. "But we lost a very functional system for delivering this #care to patients. And now, we're just having to make it up as we go."

"We know that #telehealth cannot bridge every gap; however, the majority of the services #PPMI provides will remain available via the Virtual Health Center & PP Direct, including #MedicationAbortion, #birthcontrol, #HIV services, #UTI treatment, emergency #contraception, #gender-affirming care, & yeast infection treatment. Learn more at ppmi.org/telehealth."

Meanwhile, more clinics & #abortion funds say #patients have delayed #care because of those rising #costs. According to a small Nov-Dec 2024 survey of providers & funds conducted by ineedana.com, "85% of clinics reported seeing an increase of clients delaying care due to lack of #funding."

One abortion fund said the number of patients who've had to delay care until their second trimester "has grown by over 60%" spanning 6 months in 2024.

Suddenly, new #online providers entered the field, advertising virtual consultations & pills shipped directly to your home. And plenty of #patients who still have #access to a brick-&-mortar clinic prefer that option. "Put more simply, it’s gotta change their [#PlannedParenthood] business model," she said.

While the current #TitleX freeze doesn't yet include #PlannedParenthood of #Michigan, #PPMI's chief advocacy officer, Ashlea Phenicie, said it would amount to a loss of about $5.4 million annually, or 16% of its budget.

PPMI didn't shut down any clinics the last time the #Trump admin froze its Title X #funding. …because the funding was stopped for only about 2 years, 2019–2021, when #Biden restored it.

#PlannedParenthood Association of #Utah, where courts have blocked a near-total #abortion ban and where abortion is currently legal until 18 weeks of pregnancy, announced it will close 2 centers in May.

This spring, the #Trump admin began temporarily freezing funds to many clinics, including all #TitleX providers in #California, #Hawaii, #Maine, #Mississippi, #Missouri, #Montana & Utah, according to a KFF analysis.

#PlannedParenthood of #Illinois (a state that has become a post #RoeVWade #abortion destination) shuttered 4 clinics in March, pointing to a "#financial shortfall."

Planned Parenthood of Greater #NewYork is now selling its only #Manhattan clinic, after closing 4 clinics elsewhere in the state last summer due to "compounding financial & #political challenges."

Clinics are also bracing for the #Trump admin to again exclude them from #TitleX, the federal #funding for low- & no-cost #FamilyPlanning services, as the previous Trump admin did in 2019.

#PlannedParenthood of #Michigan (#PPMI) says the cuts are painful but necessary for the organization's long-term sustainability.
