I just heard some guy being like “ladies imagine how you would feel if you had no say in a child being born or not just because you had had sex with someone and now you were expected to be a father” (the idea being, if you ask a girl to get an abortion and she says no, you are relieved of any obligation to that kid besides perhaps monetary because you didn’t want it and she chose to have it.) besides the fact that legal abortion allows situations like this to happen, absolving fathers of all responsibility because ‘well you could have had an abortion but you didn’t so obviously you want to be a single mother’—

boo hoo fucking hoo. yes, dude, you had sex, the thing that makes babies, you knew protection is not 100%, and you let your hornyness overcome the fact that if there is a chance an activity can lead to pregnancy, and you don’t want to get a girl pregnant, don’t have sex. You had a say if a child would be born or not when you decided to have sex knowing (assuming you have taken sex Ed and are above the age of 10) that you could get someone pregnant. Your life is so sad and this is in no way a consequence of your own actions, poor baby.

The way abortion is used to treat women like objects to be used and disposed of makes me very sad!!

What is Trump's "Gag Rule?”

The administration’s gag rule would have devastating effects for women and those seeking sexual and reproductive health care services.We can all agree that patients should have access to the best medical care and information possible. This rule would do the opposite and put women’s health at risk.What does the gag rule do?Donald Trump has said from day one he wants to control women. With a new gag rule, he and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar are now trying to make it official government policy.  

The Trump-Pence administration’s new rule would block patients from care at Planned Parenthood. It would also prohibit doctors, nurses, hospitals, and community health centers across the country from being able to refer their patients for safe, legal abortion.

In short, a gag rule would keep women from having full information about all of their reproductive options, and from getting the best health care possible.

Act now: Stop the gag rule

Everyone, regardless of their race, of their income, or where they live, deserves the best medical care and information available. Under this rule, they won’t get it.

What does the gag rule do?

We can all agree that patients should have access to the best medical care and information possible. This rule would do the opposite and put women’s health at risk.

The Trump-Pence administration's gag rule would do three things:

Impose new rules designed to make it impossible for patients to get birth control or preventive care from reproductive health care providers like Planned Parenthood.

Prevent health care providers across the country from referring their patients for safe, legal abortion.

Remove the guarantee that patients get full and accurate information about their health care from their doctor.

The gag rule is an attack on Title X, the nation’s program for affordable birth control and reproductive care that four million people rely on. Title X ensures people have access to contraception and gives them more control over their lives, health, careers, and economic security — and a gag rule takes that care away.

Why you should care, and what it means for patients

The administration’s gag rule would have devastating effects for women and those seeking sexual and reproductive health care services.

First, the gag rule would block patients from health care. Planned Parenthood health centers serve 41 percent of patients who get care through Title X-funded health services — yet this rule is designed to bar those patients from coming to Planned Parenthood health centers.

Preventing those patients from coming to Planned Parenthood would mean many are left with nowhere else to go, leaving them without access to birth control, cancer screenings, STD testing and treatment, or even general women’s health exams. But it doesn’t stop there. The gag rule would apply to 4,000 Title X-funded health care providers across the country, including community health centers, hospital-based clinics, and health departments.

Other health care providers have been clear — they couldn’t fill the gap if Planned Parenthood were no longer allowed to serve these patients. Already, in many counties, Planned Parenthood health centers are the only places that provide uninsured people or people with low incomes the reproductive care they need.

This would fall the hardest on people of color. Because of systemic inequities, many patients who rely on Title X for their health care needs are people of color, who already face significant barriers to accessing health care. Black and African Americans make up 21 percent of Title Xpatients, and Hispanic and Latino patients make up 32 percent. After being blocked from these health centers, including Planned Parenthood, many patients would have nowhere else to go for care.

The gag rule would limit women’s reproductive health choices. This is an attempt to take away women’s basic rights. Period. Under the gag rule, if a woman is pregnant and wants or needs an abortion, her provider would be prohibited from telling her where she can go to get one. Or if a woman’s pregnancy would severely affect her health — for example, she discovers that she’s pregnant after being diagnosed with cancer — she might not receive information that abortion is even an option.

It would have dangerous and widespread health effects.  We’re familiar with the consequences of a domestic gag rule because we’ve seen similar dangerous measures in effect. One of the Trump-Pence administration's very first acts in office was to reinstate and expand a "global gag rule," which bans overseas groups from receiving U.S. global health funding if they even so much as mention abortion-related services.

Evidence has shown that the global gag rule leads to increases in unsafe abortion, as well as unintended pregnancies, women dying from pregnancy-related complications, and infant and child deaths. It also leads to health center closures, which leave people with less access to care. We should be ending the global gag rule — not importing a version of it to the U.S.

How can I take action?

We can’t afford to let the Trump-Pence administration continue down this path of chipping away at our reproductive health care access. Now is the time to unite, show our power, and make sure everyone gets the health care they want or need, without politicians controlling when, how, or why.

SEND A MESSAGE: STOP THE GAG RULE

It’s amazing that in nursing development clssses we don’t start with the newborn, we start with conception. We start at the beginning of life.

The lips are formed at 4-7 weeks. Heartbeat at 6-8 weeks.

The first trimester has some of the fastest and complex growth for the fetus.

Posted @withrepost • @plannedparenthood At Planned Parenthood, we believe sexual and reproductive health care IS health care — and that health care is a human right. That includes safe, legal abortion. Everyone deserves health care that’s free of shame, stigma, or judgment. . . . . #ThisIsHealthCare #HealthCare #IStandWithPP #WomensHealthWeek #plannedparenthood https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkuohIlBjJ/?igshid=18z8s03xmakq6

Planned Parenthood’s New Campaign

10^2 Winds’ News

You give us the world, we also take your 20 minutes.

(This is parody news)

January 11, 2019

Early Friday morning, Planned Parenthood created a new hashtag: I stand to PP. The hashtag is meant to be inclusive of trans-women who do not regret their abortions and is an offshoot of the hashtag “I stand with PP.” The hashtag #IStandToPP is designed to embrace women of ALL body types. Women have a right to their bodies. Women have a right to the choose the type of body they have. Women have the right to choose the biological definition of their gender. Planned Parenthood’s decision to create the new campaign was inspired by the small outcry of the few trans-women in an obscure village right outside Chernobyl, Ukraine. The 2 trans-women, who were deeply offended, experienced intense emotional turmoil, isolation, tears, and sniffles as a result of the hashtag, “no vagina no opinion” which spread like hashtag wild fire. In their small village, it is nearly to impossible to obtain reconstructive surgery without bribing city doctors with anti-radioactivity shampoos to visit the small village. The two trans-women began dating about 3 week ago and soon discovered that one had become pregnant unexpectedly after a responsibly planned night of innocent vodka drinking. The village medicine man came to the rescue and performed the first abortion ever in that small village. The 2 trans-women wanted to share their lack of emotional connection to the loss of their baby and took to social media. The 2 trans-women received a lot of hate comments and backlash, but Planned Parenthood saw the couple as the poster child for the inclusion of ALL types of women and families. Planned Parenthood felt the 2 trans-women could showcase parents’ lack of regret for the planned aborting of the lives of their children while challenging the male chauvinism of overtly conservative straight cis men who pressure their wives with loving support to do the unimaginable and unheard of inhumane process of growing a human and giving birth to him/her. So show your support of women’s choice and join the #IStandToPP movement to show support for ALL women’s rights.

Meet Planned Parenthood’s New President

The president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund is Dr. Leana Wen, who will be leading Planned Parenthood through its next exciting, challenging chapter — the first physician in nearly 50 years to lead our organization.

Dr. Wen's resume speaks for itself — take a look.

Planned Parenthood was founded in defiance of unjust laws that prohibited women from basic information about their reproductive health. And we were forged with courage and commitment. We were built for this moment in history, when our rights are under attack like we haven't seen in generations.

As an immigrant who relied on public health programs, Dr. Wen knows personally the vulnerability of not having access to care. As a practicing emergency room doctor, she sees the consequences of people not having access to basic health care every day. For more than 100 years, Planned Parenthood has never stopped fighting to expand access to vital reproductive health care so that every one of us can live full, independent lives — regardless of race, gender, income, zip code, or immigration status.

Promoting Planned Parenthood

My name is Allison Bannon

The organization I have chosen is Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Planned Parenthood is a nationwide and global figure in healthcare. Villainized by the masses due to them providing reproductive and abortion care, Planned Parenthood is a largely misunderstood entity. Yes, some of their centers provide medical abortions. They abide by local and federal law depending on their location. Abortions only account for approximately 3% of their total health care provision. They also provide birth control, cancer screenings, women’s health services, HIV and other STD testing and treatment, hormone therapy, and yes, even men’s healthcare. 

Planned Parenthood has a social media presence on many platforms. They exist on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok, and Reddit, among others. Maintaining a strong media presence is important because there are plenty of people attacking them online. They must use their website and media to attempt to correct misinformation spread by these people. Other uses of their socials are to inform the public of their services, provide factual information about abortions, spread the word about activism and, lately, to post about the reality women are facing of having our reproductive rights slowly stripped by the Supreme Court and local jurisdictions.

The first of many vanity metrics to present is how many followers they have on each of six platforms. 

Facebook: 992K followers

Twitter: 323.1K followers

Instagram: 857K followers     

Youtube: 106K subscribers

Reddit as r/PlannedParenthood: 1.8K members

TikTok: 59K followers 

We can see from this list that their biggest platform is Facebook,  and therefore they should concentrate on continuing to post engaging content there. In order to expand into its booming popularity, they should investigate how to best tap into TikTok's user base. Maybe by creating a "challenge", or participating in one of the current fads, they could engage viewers. This would be a piece of advice to improve on an advanced metric. Another important tool to harness on TikTok, and really any platform, is using hashtags. Hashtags need to be more than just a description of the video. Many people use hashtags for currently trending topics, just thrown in to boost the video in certain algorithms. Hashtags also help you to be found in search engines. 

Another interesting set of data to look at is the top social media networks directing traffic to plannedparenthood.org. In March 2022, they had 11.5 million website views and ranked #3 nationwide for women’s health website hits. These redirects came from:

Reddit        32.63% of directed traffic

Youtube    31.32%

Facebook    15.08%

Twitter        9.60%

Instagram    6.09%

Other        5.28%

Here you see that engagement and traffic to one's website has no correlation to the number of followers on a platform. With this information, I’d advise the organization to understand where their audience is coming from and devote more ads or posts to improve the channel metrics by increasing social media profile and website visits. The platforms they would want to concentrate on are Twitter and Instagram, where they have the lowest referral rate. Posting more relatable content, ads and emotionally charged tweets would increase traffic from Twitter. In the article “How publishers can add 10-15% to Instagram referral traffic”, it states “[f]rom influencers to premium brands: the goal of this platform [Instagram] is community building, not click-through rates“. With that in mind, infographics, inspirational quotes superimposed on a picture of a rally, and quick facts would be the best to continue to use to engage people. 

An advanced metric that Planned Parenthood has already employed is advocacy. Their outreach through social media has allowed them to educate and inform, as well as help people find health care centers in their area. Currently, most of their media is centered around the abortion laws being passed around the country. If they were to partner with an influencer and the influencer were to share their advocacy videos, specifically on TikTok and Instagram, they would reach a much larger audience. I would recommend attempting to contact representatives for outspoken influencers or celebrities to see if they would take this opportunity. The advocate impact this would create would be an interesting behavioral metric to measure. 

Another behavioral metric that is newly available is saved videos on Tiktok. Now, users can like, comment, or save your video. Likes and comments are merely vanity points, but saving the video is behavioral. To increase this metric, you could ask in the video something along the lines of a quick “like, comment, and save if you agree!” at the end of each video.

This concludes my overview and advice in regards to social media metrics for Planned Parenthood. I encourage my readers to check out their website and social platforms to be more informed.

#NonprofitMetricsSusiSummer2022SessionI

[feministlikeme]

AT 29, she was pregnant with twins. She had no health insurance. Though she’d had complications with a previous pregnancy, she received no prenatal care until late in her second trimester. Diagnosed with gestational diabetes, she had a Caesarean section at 34 weeks but after giving birth suffered a seizure and died.

Another woman, 20, tested positive on a home pregnancy kit but didn’t seek care. When she began to experience severe abdominal pain, she went to a clinic and was found to have an ectopic pregnancy. While arrangements were being made for surgery, her blood pressure dropped and she lost consciousness. She also died.

The cases, recounted by a Planned Parenthood doctor at a D.C. Council hearing, highlight the national problem of maternal mortality, which has taken on crisis proportions in the District. About 41 women in the District die for every 100,000 live births, according to a 2016 analysis by the United Health Foundation. That is far higher than in neighboring Virginia (13.2 maternal deaths) or Maryland (25.7 maternal deaths) and double the national rate. Moreover, there is wide disparity within the District, based on race and ethnicity, with African American women at greater risk for pregnancy-related death and complications. Seventy-five percent of the maternal deaths recorded by D.C. health officials between 2014 and 2016 were of African Americans.
