A quick thread from America’s #obgyns, because #FactsAreImportant: Pregnancy can be life threatening and #maternalmortality rates are rising in the US. Congress should work to improve access to health care, not restrict it. 1/

Mifepristone is incredibly safe. The medical community as well as a federal court have found no medical basis for the @US_FDA restriction during the pandemic. 2/

Instead of undermining science, facts, and access to critical health care, Congress should:
1) Protect access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care;

2) Pass critical bipartisan legislation to address the maternal mortality crisis and racial inequities, including #HR4995 and #HR4996;
4/

3) Pass #COVID19 relief legislation that prioritizes the unique needs of women and their #HCPs;
4) Support funding for women’s health research;
