John, women are suffering needlessly.

The Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision reversing Roe v. Wade one year ago has been a disaster.

The Feminist Majority Foundation’s Clinic Access Project is flooded with requests for help from embattled clinics who are facing anti-abortion violence — your emergency donation is critically needed [[link removed]] .

Here are some facts that tell it all, quickly.

* More than 65 clinics have closed since last year.

* FMF’s latest Survey on Violence Against Clinics finds that 38% of clinics report an increase in harassment and violence following the Dobbs decision.

* The 2022 Survey recorded the second highest level of violence in over two decades.

* 34% of clinics surveyed experienced one or more types of severe violence and/or threats of violence in 2022.

* According to a report by the Abortion Care Network in November 2022, there has been a significant decline in the number of independent clinics since 2012, with a 36% loss overall. The highest number of clinic closures in a single year was in 2022.

For these reasons, as we approach the anniversary of this regrettable decision, we kindly request that you generously contribute to our National Clinic Access Project. [[link removed]]

Take Action Now to Help Embattled Clinics [[link removed]]

The War of Attrition: Violence, Harassment, Frivolous and Targeted Intimidation.

Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Clinic Access Project has been helping targeted, independent clinics since 1987. We need your help more than ever [[link removed]] , to help the clinics that are still open and facing anti-abortion violence

Clinics in states that support reproductive rights are currently facing an unprecedented demand from patients who are coming from states with restrictive bans. Our National Clinic Access project strives to support these clinics by offering law enforcement briefings, volunteer training assistance, pro bono legal aid, and additional security measures whenever necessary.

We must expand this project. Please help by making a contribution today. [[link removed]]
