Friend,

As we grapple with the new reality of COVID-19 and push back against cruel attacks on abortion access across the country, we are thrilled to share some good news: Virginia enacted the Reproductive Health Protection Act! This is a sweeping, proactive law that rolls back medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion access and will make abortion care more accessible across the state and region. The law overturns restrictions that are even more dangerous during this pandemic -- and we know, now more than ever, that abortion is time-sensitive, essential health care.

Join us in thanking Virginia legislators for their bold support of reproductive freedom! [link removed]

This win is huge, has been many years in the making, and is thanks to your partnership and support.

NIRH and our Virginia partners have been fighting for years to secure access to abortion and other reproductive health care in the commonwealth. When the NIRH Action Fund partnered with Virginia advocates to flip the state legislature in 2019, we sent a strong message of support for reproductive freedom and set the stage for this critical legislative win.

Virginia -- and New York, Illinois, and Vermont before it -- are just the beginning. NIRH is working in states across the country to ensure that this proactive momentum keeps going. Learn about the ways that we're pushing forward proactive policies state by state in 2020. [link removed]

Thank you for being by our side in this fight!

In solidarity,



Andrea Miller
President
NIRH
