Team,
Today is Mother's Day in the United States, a day that can evoke a wide range of emotions. Whether you are celebrating or struggling today, know that our hearts are with you.
The Center for Reproductive Rights is fighting to ensure that every person can decide if and when to become a mother—and that no matter where you live, you have access to the essential reproductive health care you need.
That means access to abortion care, prenatal care and postpartum care, and lifelong reproductive health care. But as you know, access isn't guaranteed.
... Pregnant people in Texas, Tennessee, Idaho, Oklahoma and beyond are fighting for the right to access essential and life-saving abortion care. People like Amanda Zurawski, the lead plaintiff in our case against the state of Texas’s inhumane abortion bans, who spent three days fighting for her life in a Texas ICU after being denied reproductive health care.
... In Hawai'i, we are challenging a law that prevents pregnant people from receiving prenatal and birth care from trusted, skilled midwives. Our lawsuit seeks to expand access to maternal health care and end this restrictive law that particularly harms Native Hawaiian midwifery practitioners and families of color.
... In partnership with Lift Louisiana, Physicians for Human Rights, and Reproductive Health Impact, the Center released a report documenting the devastating harms caused by Louisiana’s extreme abortion bans. The study details how Louisiana’s laws have changed the day-to-day practice of medicine and the devastating impact they have on people seeking reproductive health care, their communities, and the people who care for them.
The Center stands firm that when it comes to health and access inequities—more reproductive autonomy is the solution, not less. Your commitment to the Center fuels our mission to ensure everyone, everywhere, is able to make decisions about their health, bodies, and futures.
We urge you to join us in this fight. [[link removed]]
