I write about abortion every day at abortioneveryday.com Read my newsletter & find me other places here: linktr.ee/jessicavalenti 📚 My new book 'Abortion' is out now prh.com/abortion
It's also not an accident that the administration moved to save condoms but not any other kind of contraception—it aligns with the 'abortifacient birth control' classifications used by groups like Students for Life
A reader just unsubscribed from my newsletter because she said I wrote about abortion too much. Here's what you see when you sign up:
I hate even addressing the “reasons” here because IT DOESN’T MATTER! The government should never be involved in legislating pregnancy—not at any point and not for any reason.
The Trump administration wants to trick vulnerable pregnant women
The comment section of my last video should be put on a syllabus somewhere
Today is the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs decision and I’m going live with an Ask Me Anything open to all newsletter subscribers, free and paid! Drop your Qs below and join me here this afternoon: open.substack.com/live-stream/...
If I look tired IT’S BECAUSE I AM. Listening to women at the latest Turning Point USA conference talk about giving their husbands their right to vote took five years off my life at least 💀🪦🕊️
I’m going to keep writing and making videos about this until something goes viral because this shit is *ridiculous*

Let’s take tonight to be relieved: abortion pill access stays the same for right now, and that’s amazing. But let’s not lose sight of the fact that this is conservatives’ way of kicking the can down the road, and we still have lots of work to do. jessica.substack.com/p/scotus-mif...
VERY interesting from the FDA. Likely a signal to the anti-abortion movement to hold tight until they can complete their bogus "safety review" of mifepristone. (Btw, Abortion, Every Day broke that news about the FDA doing a bullshit review jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-t...)
Here's why some providers are going to continue shipping mifepristone until they hear otherwise from a federal agency
Over 60% of women who have abortions are already mothers, and they are making that decision in the best interest of their existing children. Happy Mother’s Day.
Okay, I’m biased—but I really do think we have some of the best pro-choice merch around. Especially after this latest drop for Mother's Day. Check out the Abortion, Every Day store here: www.bonfire.com/store/aborti...
Child Protective Services in multiple states is opening up investigations and—in at least one case—taking teens from the mothers who help them seek out abortion
YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"
As of May 4: SCOTUS issued a pause on the federal court ruling trying to end abortion pills by mail. The stay lasts for a week. Here's what you need to know 👇 jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-s...
Take a breath and remember that we will take care of each other. Always have and always will.
U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill is having a viral moment for asking a witness her "favorite type of abortion." I have an answer for him
Give me a fucking break. Dark thoughts? Relationship stress? This was a domestic violence mass murder. He was a family annihilator.
It doesn't take much to read between the lines here: they are MAHA-ing federal dollars for birth control, framing contraception as "unnecessary medicalization" and symptom suppression"
They don't name crisis pregnancy centers specifically, but that's exactly what they've been laying the groundwork for. Here's the breakdown I published this weekend jessica.substack.com/p/the-week-i...
