What fruit is very helpful in training abortion providers?
The papaya! It is a realistic model for the uterus. It resembles it during early pregnancy in size, shape and consistency, and so it’s often used as a tool in medical training for MVAs (manual vacuum aspiration, which is one type of early abortion.) #ReproShabbat
Read one of our most popular pieces of all time from @cdubofsky at 🔗 in bio.
"All my life I’ve heard about how “emotionally destroyed” women are by their abortions. This is largely a Christian narrative, just as the rescinding of women’s human rights has been pushed since Roe v. Wade by the evangelical right."

What would the Jewish world look like if we had language to say to a woman who miscarried like we do in a shiva house?
Ritual and liturgy play such an important role in the sacred and mundane of Jewish life, and yet we don’t have consistent liturgy for experiences that half of the population undergo. If rituals give us context to mark transitions and liturgy gives us the language to describe them, there is a whole set of transitions and experiences historically ignored within Jewish tradition.

"Pregnant? Don`t want to be? Call Jane."
Before Roe, there were the Janes — an underground abortion collective that operated in Chicago from 1969 to 1973. Their work was revolutionary not just for making abortion more accessible, but for their compassionate and respectful approach to reproductive health care.
For Lilith, Justine Orlovsky-Schnitzler talked to former members Judith Arcana and Sheila Avruch about the history of the Janes, Jewishness in abortion justice, and how to take power into your own hands.
