"The [Trump] administration is putting a heavy hand on the scale by reshaping Title X around a pronatalist, patriarchal vision of family, rather than one that is dedicated to providing the full scope of evidence-based services that patients need to feel fulfilled in their reproductive lives."

Since taking office, the Trump administration has inflicted chaos on Title X, the only federal program that supports the provision of comprehensive reproductive health care to low-income people.

Perhaps the most appalling example of the evils of capitalism I could imagine
Today, MSF is going public with something we've been fighting behind closed doors for months: Gilead will not sell us their new HIV drug, lenacapavir.
The sticking point isn't even price, they just refuse to sell.

Literally by definition "viability" limits ARE gestational limits, as in they limit your ability to get an abortion if you are past a certain gestational duration.
3. This map is wrong on multiple levels. Abortion is banned again in North Dakota as of last week; that state is the wrong color. Only 9 states lack a gestational limit and should be dark blue under this key. 41 states have bans
