Team,

Over the last few weeks, news outlets across the country have reported that the stories told by plaintiffs in our case, Zurawski v. State of Texas , are changing the narrative around abortion rights in the United States.

People are finally listening to what these women are telling us – that abortion bans in Texas and across the U.S. are putting people in extreme danger.

Right now, we need you to make your first, crucial gift today and support our groundbreaking work.

These women have been through unthinkable trauma, and have shared their stories over and over in court and in the media. No one should have to do that, but they did it to hold the state of Texas accountable for the suffering its laws are causing – and they’re making a difference.

"Women's stories may change the abortion narrative." — That's what Mary Ziegler wrote last week in The Boston Globe, highlighting a major shift in the understanding of these abortion bans.

"We're in this moment where all of the stories are coming out and it's raw... Storytelling is the future. That's how you change hearts and minds." - That's what Greer Donley, an associate professor of law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, told Sarah Varney for KFF Health News.

In an incredible victory, the judge in Zurawski v. State of Texas issued an injunction blocking Texas's abortion bans as they apply to dangerous pregnancy complications, clarifying that doctors can use their own medical judgment to determine when to provide abortion care in emergency situations. The ruling also denied the state's request to throw out the case, and it found S.B. 8—Texas's citizen-enforced abortion ban—unconstitutional. The judge recognized in her ruling that the women who brought this case should have been given abortions.

Unfortunately, the state immediately appealed the ruling, blocking it from taking effect. This case isn't over, and the fight continues for Texans and all people around the world who are being denied their essential health care. Support our fight today. [[link removed]]
