South Texans for Reproductive Justice

Working towards reproductive justice in South Texas. What is reproductive justice?

Reproductive justice is a term that was created by Black women. It joins the concepts of reproductive rights and social justice. For more information on why this term is particularly important for people of color, see this link: http://www.sistersong.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=141&Itemid=81

Why not just say pro-choice? Right now, a lot of people in South Texas don't HAVE a c

hoice because they don't have access; as of October, our abortion clinics were forced to close. People who are undocumented, poor, or in an abusive relationship now have little to no access to abortion because the closest clinic is in Corpus, past the Border Patrol checkpoint. Yes, we're pro-choice, but the conversation also needs to evolve past "choice" and take other factors of marginalization (such as citizenship and poverty) into consideration.

Besties, make sure you store your Plan B and condoms in room temperature! 🥵😫 It’s like a hundred ninety nine degrees. 🔥 Don’t leave them in your car or garage so they’re ready when you’re hot to go. 💋

🌈 Huge news! We’re shipping Opill! 🌈

Opill is the first and only over-the-counter birth control pill, and we’re thrilled to offer this service to everyone in our service areas.

It’s ridiculous that before Opill, you could only access birth control pills from a medical professional. Not everyone has access to a doctor, can afford copays, or has the time to pick up medication at pharmacies.

If you’d like to try Opill, request link is in bio. ✨ Check out disclaimers and suggestions. ⭐️
