Team,
Today, our litigation team is at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit arguing to throw out Mississippi's six-week abortion ban. A panel of three judges on that court already struck down the state's law banning abortion at 15 weeks, and this six-week ban is an even more extreme attempt to restrict abortion access in the state.
Then, tomorrow, we're headed to the District Court of Oklahoma County to block two harmful state laws from taking effect. The laws ban the use of telemedicine to provide medication abortion and prohibit qualified advanced practice clinicians from providing abortions.
These are just two of 31 cases that the Center is currently litigating to protect reproductive rights and abortion access across the United States. And, with your support, we’ll continue to take states like Mississippi and Oklahoma to court until anti-abortion legislators get the message: we will not back down.
Please, will you make a generous gift today to help us continue fighting back?
You and I both know that we are facing an all-out assault on abortion access in the United States. Our opponents are executing an aggressive, coordinated national strategy to legislate abortion out of existence—but with you by our side, we will keep fighting.
Center supporters like you are critical to our success in these cases, and all our work around the world. I hope you'll make a generous gift today to ensure we can continue fighting, because it's clear this fight is far from over.
Thank you,
Julie Rikelman
Senior Director, Litigation
