On Friday, Governor Newsom signed AB 260 into law — landmark legislation that expands shield laws and critical privacy protections for patients and providers. This bill is a monumental step forward, and a roadmap for other states to follow. bit.ly/46JCAGG #abortion
Today’s extradition order from a prosecutor with an anti-abortion agenda is the latest escalation in an ongoing state-sponsored effort to prosecute safe and effective healthcare. ACT has and continues to stand behind shield laws across the country.

🚨 Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, we've seen escalating attempts to harass healthcare providers who offer abortion care.
Today, ACT was proud to stand alongside as S36A was signed into law, which gives an important level of protection for abortion providers.
The right to make decisions about our bodies isn't just a slogan – it's a human right that requires active protection through thoughtful legislation.
Thank you to @GovKathyHochul, @ShelleyBMayer, @KarinesReyes87, @ReproRights, and the tireless advocates that made today possible.
The case out of Louisiana against a licensed NY doctor is the latest in a series of threats that jeopardizes women’s access to reproductive healthcare across the country.
This state-sponsored effort to prosecute a doctor providing safe, effective care should alarm everyone.
🧵
The New York Shield Law, passed with the help of ACT in 2023, and Shield Laws across the country enable licensed healthcare professionals to successfully deliver reproductive healthcare to patients in under resourced areas nationwide.
ACT stands behind these laws.
A lot is at stake given the results of the election. " A Trump administration could sharply restrict or ban medication abortion by enforcing an interpretation of the long-dead Comstock Act" according to ACT's co-founder and executive director @Msjuliekay
While we are saddened by the election of Donald Trump, we take heart in knowing that Americans overwhelmingly support abortion rights and access to vital reproductive health care for all.
ACT will continue our work to make medication abortion available by telemedicine and to support clinicians and patients nationwide to have access to safe and affordable care. Read our full statement at bit.ly/48L5Tcw
The stakes have never been higher - your support is critical to keep these vital and safe medications moving and accessible, even in the face of mounting challenges. Donate at bit.ly/4fDXoCh

Voices from the Silenced offers a deeply human portrayal of women who faced the dangers of illegal abortions and societal stigma in the era before 1973. Playwright/activists Martha Boesing and Victoria Rue shaped their one-act play around the powerful testimonies of women who had abortions before Roe v Wade and created a powerful inspiring call to action in the ongoing fight for reproductive rights.
The 90-minute evening stars: Jane Curtin, Tyne Daly, Sharon Gless, Amy Irving, Christine Lahti, Marsha Mason, Christina Redd, and Rachel Ticotin*
The performance will be followed by a discussion with experts currently dealing with the legal and medical battles surrounding reproductive rights.

All pregnant people have a right to emergency care without regard to anti-abortion politics or hostility. ACT's statement on today's disappointing #SCOTUS ruling in Idaho v. United States.

Today marks 2 years since the Dobbs v Jackson decision that changed the reproductive health access landscape. Telemedicine has created an avenue to keep abortion care accessible in all 50 states. Thanks to the #wecount study we know that 19% of abortion care is via telemedicine
