John,
Just now, the Supreme Court delayed weighing in on the case to restrict access to mifepristone until Friday, April 21.
Mifepristone is safe, and it remains available. The absurd rulings from anti-choice judges in Texas are put on hold for now, but we know that anti-choice politicians and judges remain focused on banning abortion nationwide.
So even though patients and providers can breathe easier today, abortion medication is still in danger, as is birth control, IVF, and comprehensive reproductive care in this country.
We must continue our fight in our communities and in our state houses, which is why our Care is Not Criminal fund specifically supports candidates who will never criminalize patients or providers for seeking or providing reproductive health care, no matter what the court says.
John, if you're able, please consider rushing a donation to our Care is Not Criminal Emergency Fund to support one of the 94,000 races on the ballot this year because we cannot wait until 2024 to fight back.
Thank you for being with us in this fight,

John,
This afternoon, the Supreme Court put a Texas ruling attacking abortion medication nationwide on hold until next Wednesday. Therefore, changes to access to mifepristone will not go into effect tomorrow. Please refer to your local or state-wide abortion providers for up-to-date information surrounding available care.
And remember: abortion medication is safe, no matter what anti-choice judges claim.
We don't know what Wednesday will hold for this case. We do know, however, that every person deserves the freedom to control their own bodies, which includes the freedom to decide if, when, and whether to grow or start a family. Medication abortion — which has a 20-year track record of being safe and effective — is vital to our freedom.
During the last week, we've experienced a flurry of attacks on abortion medication — including two opposing rulings that would have made the patchwork of access even more extreme and confusing across the country.
This confusion is by design. Anti-abortion judges continue to try to create a world where providers, patients, and even attorneys don’t understand what care is available. It’s part of their plan.
And even beyond Wednesday, we know anti-choice judges and legislators will continue their efforts to restrict access to medication abortion care as part of their agenda to ban abortion nationwide.
John, stand with us and add your name urging the FDA to use its enforcement discretion to allow mifepristone to remain on the market.
Thank you for being a part of this fight,
