"Texans who sought an abortion out of state more than quadrupled between 2021 and 2023 after a state law went into effect that bans the procedure in almost all cases."

"Now, a new ProPublica data analysis adds empirical weight to the mounting evidence that abortion bans have made the common experience of miscarriage — which occurs in up to 30% of pregnancies — far more dangerous. It is based on hospital discharge data from Texas, the largest state to ban abortion, and captures emergency department visits from 2017 to 2023, the most recent year available."

"Backed by a mix of state, local and philanthropic money, Rx Kids gives mothers of newborns up to $7,500, with no income requirements and no rules for how the money is spent. Supporters believe the program could be a model for mitigating the high cost of having children in the U.S."

"A Georgia woman declared brain-dead and kept on life support for more than three months because she was pregnant was removed from a ventilator in June and died, days after doctors delivered her 1-pound, 13-ounce baby by emergency cesarean section. The baby is in the neonatal intensive care unit."

Procedural abortions can resume in Kansas City Missouri after a ruling by Jackson County Circuit Court Judge, Jerri Zhang.

The ruling isn’t all good news, while this does resume procedural abortions, there are still restrictions on medication abortion, but any abortion being legal is a huge win. This means Planned Parenthood can start providing them again.

The Nazi Party has been doing everything within and without their power to get abortions banned again in the state after voters approved a measure to lift the ban back in November. And in 2026 it’s back on the ballot again! #missouri #abortion #freedom #healthcare #AbortionIsHealthcare #reproductivehealth #rights #news

I think we just found the “death panels” that the right’s been screaming about since forever: “In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled that if states decide to unilaterally cut off Medicaid funding to a healthcare provider—in this case Planned Parenthood—patients cannot sue to stop them.”

The 19th: The future of federal abortion data collection is unclear. “A report released Monday by the Government Accountability Office and first shared exclusively with The 19th analyzed the existing data on the economic impact of abortion bans and found that government tracking has been very limited — and could become more so due to changes made by the Trump administration.”
