I wanted to show everyone what we were able to do with the uterus earring money! I donated a portion of all proceeds from the Minimalist Floral Uterus & FUterus dangles, totaling $200 to give toward 2 Iowa organizations fighting for the rights of all uterus owners- Iowa Abortion Access Fund & Emma Goldman Clinic. The donation is in my name, but it was a group effort and I wanted to thank everyone who purchased! We did this, you did this!! Thank you ❤️

*any negativity will be removed & blocked.

Hey everyone. If you have ever spent time in the Iowa City area then most likely you have received or know someone who has received care from the Emma Goldman Clinic.

I LOVE them so much. I've had the honor to work with them over the years and NOW they need YOUR help! Please go support them and their compassionate work with women, lgbtq people and those who's have heathcare insecurity.

Independent clinics need your help so much!

For the past 49 years, the Emma Goldman Clinic has provided reproductive healthcare services for thousands of patients traveling from across Iowa and the U.S. But the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the state's Republican-controlled government have some worried for the clinic's future.

We have big challenges ahead of us in Iowa

I am going to be direct. The last 3 years have been by far the most difficult of my 35 years working at the Emma Goldman Clinic. And let me tell you; we have had some nearly insurmountable challenges in those 35 years. But the level of uncertainty and dread that was brought on by the pandemic, coupled with the legislative assault on abortion, including the demise of Roe, has been exhausting.

And while we tried to hold out hope, the midterm elections for Iowa were devastating.

Many of you have asked, “What is the clinic going to do?”

We are going to continue providing reproductive health care for folks in the Midwest. This response may seem simplistic to some, but providing reproductive health care is what we do best! We know that Indie Clinics like Emma provide critical services for our communities. It is imperative that Emma continues offering those services even if we cannot provide abortions. In the event of a total abortion ban, we’ll continue the fight and remain hopeful that we can effect change.

I remain hopeful that all of the events of the past year will create an upswell from the masses resulting in positive reproductive and social justice outcomes. But I realize that “hope is not a method.” It is just one part of a thoughtful strategy that moves a plan forward. Without hope, we are paralyzed and immobilized with no real reason to move forward because we don’t believe our efforts will matter.

Your support now does matter, more than ever.

Part of our planning includes building financial sustainability in the event that we are unable to offer abortion services. This is an imminent possibility as we wait for a decision regarding the 6 week abortion ban before the end of 2022.

As we enter a season where we typically gather to practice gratitude, we may have to push past the muck to find things to be grateful for. Here are some things that give us glimmers of hope:

➡️ 5 states had abortion on the ballot. All 5 ended in favor of abortion. (Kentucky, Montana, Michigan, Vermont and California.) Kansas affirmed abortion on an earlier ballot.
➡️ Democrats now have a majority in the US Senate. There is finally a plus one.
➡️ The midterm elections were a referendum on reproductive rights, and it appears to have been mostly successful.
➡️ Our community of support continues to rally and has grown exponentially since Dobbs.
➡️ Abortion remains legal in Iowa and people are in need of our services. We are open and providing abortion care and will continue to do so until we are no longer legally able to.

The Emma Goldman Clinic staff is grateful for the outpouring of support that you have shown us. It is helpful to know that we are not alone in this fight to continue providing reproductive health care.

But we need everyone to keep fighting for what is right. Every person deserves the right and ability to control their own body and to be hopeful about their future. We need everyone who believes in the vision of feminist reproductive healthcare that includes safe, accessible, and affordable abortion care to show their solidarity with their financial support.

With hope,

Francine Thompson, Executive Director

P.S. We have a lofty goal of $5️⃣ million that would ensure operating expenses for the next 5 years. Are you able to increase your gift by $5️⃣, $5️⃣0️⃣ or $5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣?

2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health

One of the good things that the 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health found was that LGBTQ youth who felt high social support from their family reported attempting su***de less than half the rate of those who felt moderate to low support.

So being an ally to LGBTQ youth, especially transgender and gender-nonconforming youth, is potentially lifesaving.

We have big challenges ahead of us in Iowa

We have ✨BIG✨ challenges ahead of us in Iowa

You can help us meet those challenges by making a gift to support our work!

As the Emma Goldman Clinic works to envision and create our future during our 5️⃣0️⃣th anniversary year, we hope to be able to continue to proudly say that we provide safe and compassionate abortion care.

There is one major obstacle in the way of that, though: a looming six-week fetal “heartbeat” abortion ban.

A six-week ban would effectively prohibit any abortions in Iowa.

In August this year, current Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds asked a state court to lift a permanent injunction of a 2018 law banning abortions after a fetal “heartbeat” is detected. Following the rulings by the Iowa Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court overturning precedents on abortion rights, Reynolds’ attorneys argued in their court filing that “no right to an abortion exists under the state or federal constitution.” A court hearing is scheduled for this Friday, October 28th.

We know from recent polling that 6️⃣0️⃣% of Iowans support legal abortion in all or most cases.

So why does Iowa’s legislature continue to pass abortion restriction after abortion restriction with no regard for the will of the people? CONTROL.

In the fight for Iowa, we have two options:

1️⃣ Sit on the sidelines and allow even more extreme and restrictive policies to be passed.
2️⃣ Do everything we can to make sure that the voices of the majority of Iowans are heard to propel positive change in Iowa - starting at the ballot box on Tuesday, November 8th! 🗳

Unwanted Sterilization and Eugenics Programs in the United States

On Indigenous People's Day, we must remember that reproductive justice is not something that has ever been afforded Indigenous People. The US has used unwanted sterilization to control "undesirable" populations like immigrants, people of color, indigenous people, poor people, unmarried mothers, the disabled, & the mentally ill from its inception till now; it is not a far-removed piece of history. It is still happening.
