Team—
Today, we challenged an Oklahoma order effectively banning abortion care in the state on behalf of Trust Women Oklahoma City and other abortion providers in the state. Along with our partners at Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Dechert LLP, we're challenging an order issued by Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on March 24 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that requires all "elective" medical and surgical procedures be postponed. Just a few days later, the Governor issued a statement singling out abortion care, claiming the order prohibited almost ALL abortions in the state.
We will use every legal tool necessary to ensure that abortion remains accessible during this pandemic. Please make an emergency gift right now to help us fight back.
This shameful abuse of emergency powers to ban abortion care is dangerous and unconstitutional.
To anti-abortion politicians, this pandemic is just another tool in their toolbox to deny access to abortion—and we must stop them.
Can we count on you to help fight these unconscionable attacks? Please make an urgent gift today to protect abortion access.
In solidarity,
Center for Reproductive Rights
