The Abortion Access Report 2/18/2026

If “pro-life” policies are increasing preventable deaths, maybe it’s time we retire the branding. We have 2 videos we didn’t want you to miss!

💔 Abortion Bans Hurt EVERYONE (Yes, EVERYONE)
Reminder: You can suffer from an abortion ban even if your pregnancy is extremely wanted. Bans are leaving some docs scared to even talk about abortion, and for pregnant people with high risk or chronic conditions, this has been a literal death sentence.

🩺 Maternal Health Mess
AAF board member and repro justice scholar Dr. Michele Goodwin joined Ali Velshi to break down the SELF-IMPOSED maternal health hellscape that is ‘Merica. It was bad before Roe, it’s worse now, and states continue to ignore the data and crank up preventable deaths for #SkyDaddy

👀 Who Could Have Seen This Coming?
LITERALLY. EVERYONE. When states enshrine IDEOLOGY over medicine, the most vulnerable pregnant people get left behind first. Pro Publica has been tirelessly investigating to make sure their stories get told, and we’ll NEVER stop fighting for them by exposing and dragging the lawmakers responsible for this torture to all hell.

LOUDER FOR THE ANTI-ABORTION DOUCHEKAZOOS IN THE BACK 🗣️
Absolute QUEEN, TN Senator @LondonLamarTN, said what we’ve all been primal screaming about: the Tennessee anti-abobo agenda is pushing the death penalty for people who have abortions and ignoring the real crisis in their state: maternal mortality. This is literally the FURTHEST thing from pro-life, babes.

We want to give all the flowers to Sen. Lamar for sending delulu lawmakers’ asses on his way and reminding Tennesseans that she stays fighting for them. YOU GO, LONDON LAMAR! 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

We will have more for ya tomorrow.
