"As his confirmation to lead the Justice Department hung by a thread last week, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told faith leaders on a private call that he was preparing to take action to roll back abortion access nationwide." As if the Ghislaine Maxwell / Jeffrey Epstein of it all wasn't enough, here are more reasons not to confirm Todd Blanche. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/03/blanche-pledged-abortion-pill-crackdown-private-call-01023304 #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #AttorneyGeneral #DOJ #USpol

"Lawyers for Seyb and other plaintiffs in the Idaho case emphasize that Dobbs does not appear to be a barrier to advancing these constitutional claims. The question that the Supreme Court answered in 2022 was whether 'all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.' In focusing on elective abortion procedures, the court didn’t address all procedures for terminating a pregnancy." https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2026/06/supreme-court-news-idaho-abortion-loophole-dobbs.html #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion

"A Texas appeals court on Thursday dismissed an injunction that forced a Houston-area midwife to close her clinics, ruling that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office relied solely on an anonymous email as evidence that she violated the state’s 2022 abortion ban." https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/23/texas-midwife-ken-paxton-appeals-court-ruling/ #healthcare #midwives #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortions #courts #texas

"At a time when abortion is unavailable to many and contraceptives could be next on the chopping block, it can feel like there are only two camps: those who champion birth control, warts and all, and those who criticize it with hopes of making it go away. But there is a quieter third camp: scientists, doctors, and public health researchers who are scrutinizing birth control not to get rid of it, but to make it better." https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/07/hormonal-birth-control-iuds-depression-anxiety-mental-health-tiktok/ #ReproHealth #contraception #MentalHealth

"Despite their annual visits to the Hill and efforts to share their stories with lawmakers, abortion advocates have struggled to break through in a Congress that, since Dobbs, has lacked the numbers to roll back state bans or otherwise loosen restrictions." https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/06/texas-abortion-landscape-dobbs-v-jackson-four-year-anniversary-congress/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #txlege #UScongress #USpol

"Asked at a Congressional hearing about appropriations for family planning in May 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: 'There's no plan to spend that money. We're not going to be in that business globally. We're not going to do it.'" https://www.npr.org/2026/04/29/g-s1-118041/family-planning-birth-control-condoms-aid-cuts-rubio #healthcare #GlobalHealth #USAID #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #CHW #midwives #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #contraception #FamilyPlanning

"And the fact that miscarriages are more common for Black women isn’t comforting, it’s terrifying. It’s emblematic of larger societal issues — including a lack of adequate medical research — that Black people are disproportionately faced with this devastating situation." https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/black-women-miscarriage-too-common #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #miscarriages #BlackMastodon #WomensHealth

"But the state Department of Public Health and Human Services postponed adding doula services to its Medicaid program in late March, citing a budget shortfall driven in part by higher-than-expected Medicaid costs." https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/doula-care-indigenous-health-medicaid-cuts-montana-tribe/ #healthcare #medicaid #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #doulas #RuralHealth #NativeAmerican #Indigenous #Cheyenne #CostsOfCare

"By the end of last week, more than 10 patients had been turned away and two scheduled procedures have been cancelled at the state’s only clinic for medication and procedural abortions. That’s after Gov. Mark Gordon signed a ban on most abortions on March 9, despite saying in a letter he expects legal challenges could find the new law violates the state’s constitution." https://www.wyomingpublicmedia.org/health/2026-03-17/about-a-dozen-patients-turned-away-after-last-weeks-abortion-ban #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #abortion #courts #wyoming

"In North Carolina, where a clinician practices can make all the difference for someone seeking maternity care...Dozens of counties have no local obstetrics care, so families are forced to travel long distances for deliveries. That distance to care for rural patients has been linked to higher rates of cesarean sections, preterm births and maternal complications." https://www.northcarolinahealthnews.org/2026/03/16/lawmakers-hear-how-rural-women-face-risks-to-give-birth/ #healthcare #ReproHealth #ReproJustice #pregnancy #MaternalHealth #RuralHealth #obstetrics #NorthCarolina
