- Moderator: Clemencia Rodriguez
Our Molly is talking about our work to open the SWWC at #takeroot13 in the Repro Justice at Any Stage in Life panel.
Antis are not prolife; they are pro-birth. --Molly #takeroot13
Hearing about #reprojustice at any stage of life, hearing perspective from @TrustWomen as direct providers. We <3 providers! #TakeRoot13- Protesters at outside @TrustWomen's clinics and homes at all hours, round the clock harassment. #TakeRoot13
- Next up is Omare Jimmerson. She works for Provide (formerly the Abortion Access Project). #takeroot13
- Omare Jimmerson is discussing Provide's name change. Even having abortion in your name in a red state is a stigma. #takeroot13
- Omare Jimmerson from Provide: are we here to push the word abortion or to provide services. #TakeRoot13
Omara Jimmerson on name change to Provide from Abortion Access Project: it allowed her to do red state work more openly. #takeroot13- Changing their name allowed them to continue to work well with diverse partners. #takeroot13
"miscarriage management training initiative." because GUESS WHAT? Treating missed miscarriages is still abortion care. #takeroot13
Miscarriage management training initiative: it's about abortion. Procedure is the same whether the abortion is intended or not. #TakeRoot13- Women having miscarriages often can't get care from their own providers, are sent to abortion clinics. Need continuity of care! #TakeRoot13
- I wish my dr could have treated my missed miscarriage. I had to spend a day finding an OB to do a D&c in an OR. #takeroot13
In Oklahoma, you can't teach abortion procedures to medical residents. #takeroot13- Oklahoma makes it illegal to train doctors in a necessary medical procedure. That is what anti-choice legislators do. #takeroot13
- Whoa. Oklahoma law forbids Provide from teaching med students how to perform abortions. #takeroot13
- Some doctors may not know that crisis pregnancy centers are not actually medical facilities. #takeroot13
- "What doctor would send a woman to an abortion clinic when she's having a miscarriage? Isn't their job to help them?" #TakeRoot13
- Lots of women who go to abortion clinics in OK are having miscarriages. They go because they don't have insurance. #takeroot13
- "We train abortion clinics not to assume everyone is there for elective procedure, or that everyone having a miscarriage is sad. #takeroot13
- Britt Wahlin from @IbisRH is now speaking. They focus on under-researched reproductive health topics. #takeroot13
- Now Britt Wahlin from Ibis Reproductive Health. #TakeRoot13
