Today hearts break as Brent Stephens writes" "If Roosevelt told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Hitler and fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky."

“We urge professional medical and nursing associations to mobilize to campaign and advocate for actions to end physical and legal attacks on health care and workers that jeopardize health gains achieved throughout the world.”

As @P4HR @LiftingLA @rhimpact__
& @ReproRights argue in @TheLancet, in US states with abortion bans at least #EMTALA protections must support clinicians' medical judgment and shared decision making with their pregnant patients in medical emergencies:

Thank you @VP for spotlighting our new study with @LiftingLA, @rhimpact__ & @ReproRights, which documents how Louisiana’s abortion bans endanger patients and clinicians.
Abortion criminalization is fueling a public health crisis.
Read the report here: phr.org/our-work/resources/l…
Louisiana’s abortion ban criminalizes doctors and includes no exceptions for rape or incest.
This extremism has real consequences with one OB/GYN warning, "There are going to be deaths that didn't have to happen."
We must restore the protections of Roe.

"Across the country, the Biden administration is holding hundreds of immigrants in solitary confinement.
With the president’s calls for the 'toughest' border crackdown in U.S. history, these numbers are likely to rise.
This inhumane practice must end."

There's a lot of discussion nowadays (rightly) about keeping health care workers safe.
But any procedure involves risks for the patient, and armed security is no different.

Attacks on health care professionals and facilities during conflict are increasing around the world. These attacks are war crimes & a public health catastrophe.

Brief summary of today’s Human Rights Session in this video. Many key concerns of @P4HR and our partners raised.
As we seek to prevent and end global atrocities, this admonition @NickKristof ends his NYT column today with has never been more important: "If your moral compass is attuned to the suffering of only one side, your compass is broken, and so is your humanity."@P4HR @nytimes

U.S. state #abortion bans cause confusion that endanger lives. This week, our partner @ReproRights filed an HHS complaint citing our joint research report in OK to challenge a hospital's denial of life-saving emergency care under EMTALA. More here: phr.org/our-work/resources/o…
In March 2023, Jaci Statton was denied life-saving medical care by a hospital in Oklahoma as a result of the state’s #abortion ban. Our partners @ReproRights have petitioned @HHS to investigate this refusal. [THREAD] xitter.cf/ReproRights/status/170…

“This is not random, aberrant behavior,” -@DrAliceJEdwards, UN SR on Torture.
“This is orchestrated as part of state policy to intimidate, instill fear or punish to extract information & confessions.”
Russia's war in Ukraine is "synonymous with torture."
ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…
Torture perpetrated by Russian officers against Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war has reached such a level that it is clearly a systematic, state-endorsed policy, a U.N. expert on torture said Saturday. nyti.ms/3PclCYG
