REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Featured in this painting are plants/herbs which have been used throughout history as abortifacients, because as long as we have known how, we have been ending unwanted pregnancies. We now live in world where there are safe methods of abortion and preventing access to these services will not stop abortion, it will only stop safe abortion. Free, safe and legal access to reproductive healthcare is a human right for everyone, everywhere.

Featured plants:
Cymbidium madidum (Giant Boat-lip Orchid)
Petalostigma pubescens (Quinine Bush)
Mystica fragrans (Nutmeg)
Ruta gravolens (Common Rue)
Gossypium hirsutum (Cotton)
Mentha pulegium (Pennyroyal)

Today is the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers! Re-blog this and join us in saying “thank you” to the compassionate and courageous doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and health center staff who work every day to keep patients healthy and ensure they have access to the reproductive health care they need — including safe and legal abortion.
