Dear John, This month, as we marked what would’ve been the 51st anniversary of
Roe, we reflect on our past but are working every day to build a future where everyone can get the abortion care they need in their communities. PRH remains unwavering in our commitment to champion unrestricted abortion access, to bring sustained national awareness to the dire consequences of limiting access to abortion, and to equip individuals with the accurate information essential for informed health decisions.
On that note, I want to share with you the moving testimony given by Dr. Serina Floyd, a fellow with PRH, at a Senate briefing on the state of abortion access. She stressed the devastating impacts of abortion restrictions and defended medical facts and bodily autonomy of patients everywhere.
While the road ahead to achieve reproductive justice is long and arduous, our advocates are not slowing down. Support PRH and make this crucial advocacy possible today and for the long-haul.
With gratitude,
Jennifer Blasdell, JD | Chief of Staff
