Our friends at the University of Vermont’s VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood made this amazing video for Get Yourself Tested (GYT) Month! In addition, they worked with their Student Government Association to pass a resolution making April the official GYT month at UVM! This is how to make change on college campuses. Stay safe, stay protected.
“The judge accused the federal government of ‘bad faith’ in dealing with the requests to make the pill universally available.”
Jennie Linn McCormack’s case highlighted the lengths that women will go to in order to end a pregnancy when access to safe abortion is cut off. It’s a situation many Idaho women have faced and will continue to face, as significant numbers of women seeking abortion services find the nearest provider across state lines.
The state’s department of health has released new numbers showing that many Idaho women seeking abortions are leaving the state to receive them. According to the Idaho Statesman, 40 percent of Idaho women end up going to different states to access abortions. “When women need it, they find it difficult to access,” Kristen Glundberg-Prossor, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest, told the Statesman. Over 70 percent of those who leave Idaho for abortion care go to Washington, the paper says, rather than one of the two providers in the state.
The Abortion Assistance Blog sure could use some more offers from Idaho and Washington!
