If Trump really wanted people to have “more healthy babies,” he’d improve access to maternal healthcare, affordable childcare, and increase resources to actually care for pregnant people and babies — not cut SNAP benefits from them. This announcement is not what you think it is, but a way to push us towards Restorative Reproductive Medicine.

TLDR: Trump thinks frozen embryos are living children and doesn’t actually want you to grow your family using IVF. ⬅️

“Once we open up the notion that a pregnant woman’s body is not her own, it opens up the possibility of charging her with relation to her pregnancy.”

You can hear from Irin and Hali’s lawyer—our senior staff attorney Emma Roth—at our book talk with on November 12th at . Register at the link in our bio🔗

📣 This , let’s say it loud and clear: experiencing a pregnancy loss is NOT a crime.

Pregnancy loss is common and almost never anyone’s fault — no one should face blame, shame, or criminal charges for it. This month and every month, we’ll keep fighting for the dignity and rights of pregnant people. Sending love to those affected by loss💜

📣 NEW: The US government is actively evading the UN's Universal Periodic Review (UPR), a critical process that evaluates each country's human rights record. In response, advocates are coming together for a "People's UPR" on October 23rd to highlight human rights violations across the US.

Our coalition of sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations is publishing a letter with the support of over 100 organizations on the sweeping impact of restrictions on reproductive health care in the US. We cannot let these harms go unrecognized.

The UPR is a key opportunity to hold the U.S. accountable for the rapidly diminishing state of reproductive and bodily autonomy. Across the country, the health, rights, and dignity of pregnant people are under attack, and the effects reach far beyond reproductive healthcare.

✊ Join us for the People’s UPR and let’s ensure the Trump administration answers for this crisis.

The U.S. is trying to dodge accountability for the human rights violations going on all around us, but we won’t let it back out without resistance. The rights of our communities depend on it.

NEW DATA! We have updated research on pregnancy-related prosecutions in the first two years after Dobbs, and there are surely more cases.

They show us that giving rights to fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses paves the way for people to be ARRESTED and PUNISHED for all pregnancy outcomes — beyond abortion.
