Medication Abortion Social Media Guide 2024
We know that medication abortion is safe, effective, and common. And, we know how important it is to speak up for reproductive and religious freedom so that those who prescribe medication abortions and those who get them can do so with dignity, free of shame or stigma.
Use this guide to share information about the cases as well as Judaism and abortion on your social media platforms.

Judaism
Passover, which we’ll celebrate soon, commemorates liberation from oppression — including reproductive oppression. As we mark the story of the Exodus, we return with even greater urgency in our efforts to fight for freedom for all — including for dignity and bodily autonomy. #JewsForAbortionAccess
Those who choose to, or must, terminate a pregnancy need abortion access. So do those who want or need help completing miscarriages. Judaism teaches that upholding dignity, preventing suffering, & saving lives are all core values. This is why we fight. #JewsForAbortionAccess
The Talmud (Brachot 60a) teaches that "permission has been given for the doctor to heal." Access to healthcare, including medicine, is foundational in Jewish legal thought. And that includes medication abortion. Abortion bans are against our religion. #JewsForAbortionAccess
Restrictions to reproductive care like banning mifepristone, the most common drug used for abortions & miscarriages, impede our religious freedom as Jews to follow our tradition, which prioritizes the life & well-being of the pregnant person. #JewsForAbortionAccess
📣📣 Say it with us: Everyone deserves to make their own moral and faith-informed decisions about their bodies and their futures. #JewsforAbortionAccess
I support access to #abortion because of my Jewish values, not in spite of them. Join the important work we’re doing @NCJW to advance reproductive justice. www.jewsforabortionaccess.org #JewsForAbortionAccess

Courts Matter
Questions about mifepristone & the FDA’s authority are now going to #SCOTUS. We know #Mifepristone is safe & effective for abortion & miscarriage care. Banning it will hurt those already facing steep barriers to care. #CourtsMatter #JewsforAbortionAccess
This is why courts matter. Judges who serve in lifetime seats on the federal courts make decisions every day that impact women, children, & families. From the schools we can attend to whom we can marry to our health care, federal judges impact every aspect of our lives. #CourtsMatter
One federal judge wields tremendous power, with the ability to influence every aspect of public policy. These decisions impact our lives today, and the lives of future generations. That’s why for decades, @NCJW has worked to build a fair, independent, & qualified judiciary that will uphold our rights. #CourtsMatter
