It’s all on the line in this election. Loved chatting with @grace_panetta about voting for @KamalaHarris 🙌
I emailed with Cecile Richards about the election — and what comes next "I had been waiting for this chance all my life," she said of casting a vote for VP Kamala Harris 19thnews.org/2024/11/cecile…

🚨NEW: Health care providers and two women denied abortion care are suing Louisiana over a new law making pregnancy medications controlled substances, arguing it's discriminatory and unconstitutional. wwno.org/public-health/…
Women should not be dying preventible deaths as doctors capable of saving their lives are forced to stand helplessly by. This is happening because of abortion bans.

Heartbreaking and a must-watch. 💔
New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.
