Hi,
Since the extreme right-wing Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many
states have taken action to deny abortion care. Twelve states have
near-total abortion bans.^1 Others have placed restrictions on care and
abortion medication.
These extreme restrictions prevent state residents from getting an
abortion in other states, prohibit abortion even for medical reasons, or
outright criminalizes abortion.
Access to safe and legal abortion health care is a right, and we need
Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) of 2023 to enact
federal legislation to protect abortion rights.

protect abortion care in America.

The WHPA would provide a nationwide safeguard against abortion bans and
restrictions, protecting the right to an abortion across the entire
country.^2
By passing WHPA, our legislators would lift barriers to care that
disproportionately impact Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, the LGBTQ+
community, disabled people, low-income people, and people living in rural
areas.
Abortion healthcare access must be free, accessible, and available
everywhere, in every state, for everyone.
People are being denied abortion care in America right now — we don't have
time to waste. Congress must use every possible tool at their disposal to
guarantee reproductive freedom for all.

Act.
