PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Attacks on reproductive freedom continue to sweep across the country. The lawsuits and legislation all have one goal: to make getting an abortion as difficult as possible, for as many people as possible, in the cruelest way possible.

It's not about keeping people safe and healthy — it's about restricting abortion access. Here's what you need to know:
A gif that says 'Our Fundamental Rights Are Under Attack' in white on a purple background. Black and white images of a pack of birth control pills, a box that says 'Mifepristone Tablet', a gavel, and a document that says 'Roe v. Wade' appear underneath.
 
When Roe v. Wade was overturned, the Supreme Court gave states the green light to ban abortion. Bans have eliminated some or all abortions in 20 states, putting essential care out of reach for millions of people. We need your help to stop the spread of these bans and get patients the care they need, no matter what.

The legal fight over mifepristone — a medicine used in more than half of all abortions in the country — continues. A handful of anti-abortion groups are suing the FDA to try to deny patients access to this safe, effective medication that has been FDA-approved for decades. For now, mifepristone remains on the market — but the fight isn't over.

Another lawsuit in Texas alleges that Planned Parenthood health centers committed Medicaid fraud — a false and completely baseless claim. Planned Parenthood follows the law. Period. But that hasn't stopped Texas officials from joining this transparent effort to bankrupt Planned Parenthood health centers and take away care from even more people.

We're up against powerful forces, but Planned Parenthood will never stop fighting to ensure that everyone, everywhere can get the care they need. It's your firm commitment that gives us the strength to face these attacks — and together, we are building a powerful movement to defend abortion.
