One of the most important lessons I've learned as an abortion provider is this: Pregnancy is too personal and too complex to legislate.

Every abortion ban denies people the right to control their own bodies and puts essential health care out of reach — all to further a political agenda. So I'm asking: Will you make one final contribution to Planned Parenthood Action Fund this year to help restore, protect, and expand abortion access?
  Make your gift right now and it will be MATCHED 2X, up to a total of $500,000.

As national director of abortion care and access at Planned Parenthood Action Fund, it's my job to make sure everyone, everywhere can get the care they need. It's my job to fight for the patients who are the targets of abortion bans — and when you chip in right now, you're helping fight for those same patients.

You're fighting for people:

… who are forced to flee their home states and travel hundreds of miles for care. … who have care delayed or denied until their lives are in danger. … who are denied insurance coverage for abortion and other reproductive health care. … whose own government devalues their lives, endangers their health, and undermines their dignity.

Let's keep politicians out of our medical exam rooms. Let's tear down the barriers between patients and the care they deserve. Let's make sure our rights aren't defined by our zip code, our income, our gender.

And let's keep fighting like hell for one another. Please, chip in now while your gift will be doubled.

Thanks,

Jen Castle, National Director of Abortion Care and Access
Planned Parenthood Action Fund

P.S. We need your generosity more than ever — the future of our reproductive freedom depends on it.
