After
Roe v. Wade was overturned, legislators across the country rushed to put abortion laws into place. Some states fought to permanently protect abortion access. Others stripped reproductive rights from millions of people.
But politicians who oppose reproductive freedom won't stop at state abortion bans and restrictions: They're also exploiting federal legislation to shut down Planned Parenthood and attack abortion access.
These politicians and their allies are trying everything to eliminate patients' access to care:
-
In Texas, a baseless lawsuit aims to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers, with meritless charges that seek damages of $1.8 billion — enough to force closure of health centers across Texas and end patient access to vital services, like birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and more.
-
The House of Representatives narrowly passed a national defense bill with extreme restrictions on access to abortion and gender-affirming care for service members and their families — undoing policies that help service members stationed in states hostile to reproductive health care.
-
The House majority is also sneaking their dangerous and unpopular agenda into annual funding bills, attempting to "defund" Planned Parenthood and end funding for Title X, the national program that helps millions of people afford basic reproductive health care every year.
It's going to take all of us to protect and expand access to abortion. Join the fight to stop the attacks on Planned Parenthood patients and sexual & reproductive health care!
