Are you ever surprised by the back‑door stunts politicians use to take our rights and freedoms right out from under us?

It happens when state politicians pass abortion bans behind closed doors, without public input. It happens in a shameful little signing ceremony, with a handpicked group of men grinning behind a governor as he bans gender‑affirming care. It happens when an anonymous plaintiff files a $1.8 billion sham lawsuit to try to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers — and the state of Texas plays along.

Not today, and not on our watch. Double your impact to fight back against these and other sneaky attacks on our health and rights by making a gift today — all donations up to a total of $500,000 will be matched $1‑for‑$1 until December 31.

The lawmakers who spent decades trying to ban abortion celebrated when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last June. Now, they want to change the subject. Initially members of Congress ducked questions about their support for a national abortion ban, and powerful people in states like Ohio and Missouri tried to keep folks from voting on ballot measures supporting reproductive rights.

That's because they know what we know: The overwhelming majority of this country believes decisions about abortion, birth control, gender‑affirming care, and other reproductive health services should be made by patients and their doctors, not politicians.

It's up to us to hold lawmakers accountable and build the power we need to protect, restore, and expand access to abortion. Your gift will go twice as far to make that happen — but only if you give before the December 31 deadline.

We need to get loud and get bold in the fight to protect reproductive health and rights. Everywhere they are under threat, every time they are under threat.

No more midnight attacks on our access to care. No more sneaking off to get a judge to do what the lawmakers who are accountable to voters are too afraid to do. No more expecting us to sit quietly while they chip away at our freedom.

Make your gift to Planned Parenthood Action Fund before time runs out.

Thank you for always being ready to make some noise.

P.S. We need your generosity more than ever — the future of our reproductive freedom depends on it. But if you aren't in a place to give this year or already made your year‑end gift, we understand that. If you'd like to receive fewer messages from us for the rest of the year, you can submit a request here.
