Reduce your risk of HIV by up to 99% with PrEP! 🤯💊💉
PrEP can prevent HIV for folks at risk through s*x AND/OR sharing needles (like for injection drug use, medications, or piercings). You can take one tablet each day, or opt for a visit in the clinic every other month for an injection. Both options have pros and cons so make sure to discuss with your healthcare team which option is right for you! 👩‍⚕️

Reproductive Justice requires SAFE COMMUNITIES. 👊
Reproductive Justice cannot exist while communities live in fear of abduction, brutalization, murder, and incarceration. This is true always, but particularly now as ICE activity has escalated to MORE violence, including the murders of Keith Porter, Renee Good, and others.
An intrinsic requirement of Reproductive Justice is the freedom to live and parent in safe, sustainable communities. Nothing about the violence against Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, other marginalized folks, or ANYONE, is sustainable. Lovering is a safe and affirming place for folks of any background to receive care. We will NEVER ask about your immigration status and we work hard to ensure that all of our patients receive kind and compassionate care in a warm and secure environment.
We know that the whirlwind of violence and targeted bigotry under the current WH administration can be super overwhelming, and legislative info can be hard to keep up with. You can take action by calling and emailing your representatives to make your voice heard. Check out the app for an easy and straightforward way to find your representatives and their contact info. They even provide scripts (which of course you can alter to align with your values and voice) for calling to make it a bit more accessible! Your voice MATTERS. 💥
ICE does not make communities safer. Sending love and solidarity to Renee's and Keith's loved ones, and anyone else traumatized or harmed by ICE. As always, we are focusing our energy on providing care to our community, and we're here if/when you need us. 💜

Meet your cervix! 🤝
What is it? The cervix is the organ that connects the uterus to the va**na. It's made of dense fibromuscular tissue and if you look at it head on, it looks sort of like a donut! 🍩

What does it do? A bunch of stuff! It can dilate (open) to allow you to have a period, miscarriage, abortion, OR give birth! It can change the texture of the mucus it makes throughout your menstrual cycle as well as change position (higher or lower) which can significantly impact your fertility at any given time! It can provide pleasure for some people when lightly touched or bumped with a finger, p***s, or s*x toy! AND it also protects your uterus from infection and injury! 😮

How to keep your cervix healthy:

✨Have cervical screening (a pap smear, HPV test, or both) every 3-5y or so starting around age 25 -- this can vary a little bit depending on the type of screening that's accessible and also someone's past medical history

✨Talk to a healthcare provider if you're having symptoms like abnormal va**nal bleeding, bleeding after s*x, va**nal discharge that is yellow, green, and/or has a strong odor, pain with urination, etc.

✨Use condoms (internal OR external!) when you have s*x to prevent the transmission of HPV (human papillomavirus)

✨Get vaccinated against HPV -- HPV causes over 99% of cervical cancers but screening and early detection are super effective!

*While Lovering isn't currently able to offer HPV vaccination, this care can be accessed at the pharmacy with a prescription from your healthcare provider, at your primary care office, or at Planned Parenthood!

TL;DR Make your voice heard to oppose attacks on abortion providers in NH! 🗣️
Our Executive Director Sandi will be in Concord on Monday, January 12th to testify in opposition of House Bill 1338, which would effectively prevent any abortion providers from receiving funds through the NH Charitable Foundation. 👎 We know that simply preventing this funding from being used at facilities providing abortion care is not the end game -- this is a targeted strategy that limits abortion rights by reducing funding, access, and legal protections for abortion providers.
Here's how you can help:

➡️Go to https://gc.nh.gov/house/committees/remotetestimony/ and fill in your information.
➡️Select the date of the hearing (Monday, Jan 12, 2026).
➡️Select "House Ways and Means" under "Select the Committee".
➡️Select HB 1338.
➡️Select "oppose bill".
➡️Add your own reasoning for opposing this bill where it says "Type your Testimony Below" (optional).
➡️Hit "Submit".
➡️SHARE THIS VIDEO to make other folks aware of this piece of legislation and how to combat it!
✨Done!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: Accessing abortion in NH when you're under 18 🏥
You CAN have an abortion in NH if you're under the age of 18, but there are some unfortunate barriers. Let's talk about what they are (and how to navigate them) ⬇

🔔Because of something in NH called the Parental Notification Law, people under the age of 18 seeking abortion care in the state must legally notify a parent/guardian at least 48h prior to their scheduled appointment.

✉️Notification can be completed by the servicing clinic sending a Certified Letter (with patient's permission) OR if it's an option, the patient can bring a parent/guardian to their appointment to sign a Parental Notification Waiver.

👩‍⚖️If it is NOT safe for the patient to notify a parent or guardian for any reason, they can apply for a judicial bypass, which involves filing a petition with the NH court system to ask for an EXCEPTION to the Parental Notification Law. For more info about judicial bypass, go to courts.nh.gov, OR reach out to Lovering for support with where to start. 💜

⚖️On Jan 7th, the NH Senate passed HB 191, which would criminalize providing transportation of a minor to their abortion appointment without written and notarized permission from a parent/guardian -- YES, even with a judicial bypass. 🤦 THIS IS NOT CURRENTLY IN EFFECT and may not even pass the NH House, where it's headed next.

HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW:

✅No one should EVER be forced to be pregnant/give birth when they don't want to, regardless of their age.

✅Young people deserve unbiased, evidence-based healthcare and info resources.

✅We trust young people to make decisions about what happens to their bodies.

✅Barriers to accessing abortion care statistically lead to poorer physical and mental health outcomes overall. Enacting barriers to abortion care is never about "protecting" anyone and only harms people.
