Anyone writing about the emergency contraception giveaway at last night’s
@oliviarodrigo
concert in STL should also be crediting us with supplying the EC, which we handed out with our close friends
@MOAbortionFund
. We’re very proud of our EC program!✨
@DestiniSpaeth
@reprolegalfund
We are really sad about this too. The response to our handing it out has been overwhelmingly glowing, in fact that’s why it got so much traction! I imagine there will be a lot of disappointed folks at future stops.
@ksdknews
It was us! We brought the emergency contraception - it’s one of our programs. But we were thrilled to partner with
@MOAbortionFund
to hand it out with info on both organizations.
We're still processing the incredible outpouring of support from this weekend, but we're so lucky to be in this fight with partners like
@ProChoice_MO
,
@MOAbortionFund
&
@ppact_stl_swmo
. This is just the beginning. Don't stop showing up, STL.
We NEED our leaders to say the word abortion.
When we hide behind euphemisms, we reinforce the stigma against abortion that anti-choicers rely on.
The first step to undoing that? SAY ABORTION. Use the word. Help us lay the foundation to revolution.
We love partnering with
@MOAbortionFund
and they deserve so much credit for all they do, and ALSO as a small and newer org we just gotta say⚡️we brought the plan b⚡️and we give it out free to Missourians in Columbia, Hannibal & at events like this✨
@LauraAnnSTL
@MOAbortionFund
@oliviarodrigo
And for the record, *we* actually brought the plan b (Julie)— we have a whole free emergency contraception program, this is normal for us! Nobody tell Bill, I don’t think he could handle it.
@Variety
We brought the emergency contraception - we run a program that gives out free EC in Missouri. We were so happy to join with
@MOAbortionFund
to give it out with info on both our organizations!

“A huge part of our philosophy and the time we spend is validation and compassion and just making sure there is an adult in the young person’s life that is listening to their experiences, whatever they are going through physically and emotionally”
📢 THREAD: Need free emergency contraception (aka plan b or morning after pill) in Missouri? Here are six ways to access it:
1️⃣ Columbia Pickup: Right By You & Coalition for Bodily Autonomy provide free EC at three pickup locations in Columbia. Text 855-458-0886 for pickup info.
Even though abortion is legal, it isn't always accessible for young people. In

How to explain free condoms and Plan B to your old-enough-to-take-to-a-concert kid:

On a bus to a

rally, and there is a 16 year old girl here by herself because she couldn’t convince her friends to go but was fired up enough to come anyway…honestly inspired, I would not have done that.
In Missouri, Right By You, a text line for teens, helps young people understand their rights about abortion, birth control, birth, parenting, and adoption—
and connects them to resources that support their decisions.
Missourians can and do travel out of state for abortion care daily despite the state’s abortion ban.
Misinformation helps no one. Thanks to
@Abortion_Squad
for clearing this up ⬇️⬇️
We are noticing some confusion: It is **legal** to travel to a state where abortion is legal. Yes — even if you live in Texas.
(Everyone *should* be able to access legal & safe care in their own communities.)
Have you heard of our micro-grants program? RJ By You offers up to $2,500 for Missouri individuals and groups for their community reproductive justice project. Apply by May 31. More info and short(!) application at

I don’t think any shade is intended, and we’ve both been VERY clear about our gratitude to Olivia while still making sure folks know that giving EC is core to our work and not something that we did for the first time at her concert. The point is that this is routine for us.
@ProChoice_MO
Missouri teens have to navigate an absolute obstacle course to get abortion care! We break down how we’re helping MO young people get care here:
We are excited to learn that
@MemphisCHOICES
is opening a clinic in southern Illinois. This will give many Missourians (including teens!) a closer and more accessible option to receive their care ❤️
This leaked SCOTUS opinion on
#RoeVWade
and its impact on Missouri has caused A LOT of fear and confusion (and rightfully so!)- particularly questions about IVF, birth control, and Emergency Contraception. So we’re here to clear some things up for Missourians. (A thread🧵)
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court decimated the protections of Roe v. Wade nationwide. This is a devastating outcome, the consequences of which our communities will feel for years to come. Nevertheless, access to abortion clinics in Missouri had been all but eliminated long 1/4
ways they can access abortion care. In doing so, we have ensured that young people in Missouri have somewhere to turn when they want to end their pregnancies. Despite today’s ruling, we will continue our work on behalf of and alongside Missouri teens, working with other 3/4
At least two people were murdered in an act of gun violence and terrorism at Central Visual & Performing Arts High School in STL this morning. We mourn the terrible losses, and we RAGE at the inaction of our leaders who have allowed ongoing murders of children in their schools.
We are here, and we’re going to be here, to help Missouri teens get the abortion care they need. We are confidential and anonymous. Spread the word far and wide.
We believe that every person deserves the access and support to make personal decisions, including abortion, about when, whether, how, and with whom to start or grow their family📢

before today’s decision, and tireless advocates have fought for abortion care to remain an option no matter how many barriers the state has placed the paths of abortion seekers. Since 2021, Right By You has offered Missouri teens critical information on their rights and the 2/4

Emily Werth from ACLU of IL says despite IL’s strong laws protecting abortion, there are still a lot of barriers to accessing abortion care including distance & ability to pay

@erinkingmd
says PNA repeal does not mean that people who don’t want abortion care are going to seek it, *it means young people will be safer and have earlier access to care*
@SnapForBusiness
@Snapchat
says we can’t advertise our service connecting people with abortion care providers without adding a false and misleading disclaimer that we don’t actually do that. Why are we - a verifiable abortion access resource - being treated like a fake clinic?
I run an organization that makes referrals for abortion care. We advertise our services on
@SnapForBusiness
. They have pulled our ads until we add a disclaimer that we don’t refer for abortions. Someone help, I’m losing my mind!!

@MemphisCHOICES
In their announcement they said late summer, and it sounds like support is welcome and encouraged. They also pointed folks to abortion funds serving the region.
#DearBiden
, we love people who have abortions. Everyone deserves access—across this nation. Tell us how you’re going to protect and expand access—we’ll be listening.
Mifepristone is both safe and effective — full stop.
We signed onto a People’s Amicus Brief with

Never forget that they *always* do to young people what they wish and plot to do to everyone. Join us in standing unapologetically for young people’s right to access abortion care. ✨
🚨BREAKING: Today, I am filing suit against Planned Parenthood for trafficking minors out of state to obtain abortions without parental consent.
This is the beginning of the end for Planned Parenthood in the State of Missouri.
