Today would have marked the 52nd anniversary of the watershed Roe v Wade decision that protected abortion as a fundamental right. It also marks 31 months since the Supreme Court overturned it. Today is an opportunity to honor Roe, learn where it fell short, and help build a future where abortion care is truly equitable and accessible for all. Learn more at the link in our bio.

Last year We Testify abortion storytellers Ash & Jack joined the alcu Freedom to Be campaign in a bold act of resistance to transphobia, trans erasure, and anti-trans legislation 🌈
This powerful act of visibility at the Washington D.C. National Mall stood as a declaration that trans & gender non-conforming people deserve the freedom to BE; to be loved, be safe, and be in control of our own health care decisions, regardless of age or where we live‼️
Ash & Jack shared their own abortion stories, which spoke directly to the harms of transphobia in healthcare, the power of abortion as gender-affirming care, and the profound impact of sharing trans abortion stories ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 🩵 💜 🩷 🩶 🤍

Dear baddies who were their own abortion providers,
We know that the last few weeks have been tough. There's been so much misinformation about how safe & common abortions at home with pills are. Self-managed abortion is often portrayed as an inherently lonely experience. But as abortion storytellers, we know that this is simply not the case!
💫 Self-managed abortion does not have to be a lonely or isolating experience, and sharing our stories is one way of busting that stigma. That's why we launched #OurSMAStories a digital home for people to learn more from the experts on self-mananged abortion: people who self-managed their own abortions at home. From SMA affirmations to listen to while you take your pills, to a storyteller round-table to hear from We Testify storytellers, to a self-managed abortion themed reality TV series, there's a little something for everybody!
The news is scary, but we will always have abortions💛
Xoxo,
We Testify Abortion Storytellers 💋 #WeSMA

The choice to become a parent is deeply personal.
For many of us, our parenting journey includes abortion—an essential part of our stories and the foundation for how we show up as Mamas, Papas, Babas, and caregivers.
Abortion, hallelujah. #MamasDay
On this International #HarmReductionDay we honor abortion care as harm reduction ⛓️💥
🌟 What is harm reduction?
Harm reduction is a public-health approach which utilizes evidence based interventions to support people who use drugs. People who use drugs have abortions, and abortion is often a critical touchpoint for those who lack healthcare access or need extended healthcare support. Just like harm reduction, abortion care saves lives. To learn more visit our friends at @harmreductioncoalition who have been leading on this work for over 30 years 💛
At We Testify, we know that people are the experts in their lives & bodies. People who use drugs deserve love, support, compassion AND abortion care. No one should be criminalized for having an abortion or using drugs.
