Ooooo! Ooooo! ME! 🙋♀️I’ll hold the mom! It’s my favorite thing! In fact, I love it so much and believe in it so much, I made it my job. 💗 #postpartumdoula #postpartumhealth #postpartummentalhealth #postpartumjourney #fourthtrimester #thefourthtrimester #maternalmentalhealth #womensupportwomen #matrescence 📸 @annamagnussen_
The time is now to stand up for health care access. Read on to see how you can find the care you need, and to see how you can make a difference. ✊ #Repost @plannedparenthood

Today, the Trump administration is forcing us out of the Title X program — our nation's program focused on family planning, of which we serve 40% of patients. This is a *direct attack* on Planned Parenthood and on our health and rights, and we will not stand for it.
•
We’re working to make sure that all patients can still get the health care they need. Contact your local health center to find out how much a service costs and ask if there are other ways to get your care covered.

We aren’t throwing in the towel and we won’t give up on our patients. Being forced out of Title X won't stop us from referring for or performing abortions, prescribing birth control, or any of our other services. Our doors are open and we are fighting against the gag rule.
•
The most important thing: Congress can take action to right this wrong. Make your voice heard to ensure that patients can continue to get the care they need. Stand with Planned Parenthood — we stand with you. Call your senator at 1-202-601-3441 or text PROTECT X to 22422 to find out how you can take action. #ProtectX #StandWithPP #NoGagRule #TitleX #PlannedParenthood
Beyond disappointed that @midwifery_today would choose a conference location that does not allow people from the LGBTQIA+ community (or, apparently, anyone condoning it, or not wearing "modest clothing", or having sex out of wedlock, etc...) just to save a buck. They seem to have decided that discrimination and exclusion are just fine if the price is right.
I lived in Lancaster County and worked in the Amish community as a childbirth educator and midwife's assistant, and I understand that they have religious beliefs (that I do not share) and unique cultural considerations when it comes to birth, but to center an entire midwifery conference around that, to the outright discrimination and exclusion of others, is incredibly harmful. ••• Please sign the petition at change.org by searching Midwifery Today ••• Awesome graphic via @cosmic.birth ••• #inclusivity #birthwork #doulas #midwiferytoday #midwives #equality #birth #healthcare #accesstocare
