Honestly, we have mixed feelings. The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has upheld the right to emergency abortion care, protecting the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), for now.

This decision today shows us there is a clear need for a federal abortion policy solution, no one should ever have to be concerned that their right to healthcare will be taken away by the courts.

We will win only when we secure federal protections for abortion and expand abortion access nationwide. We need your support now more than ever.

The Idaho v. United States and Moyle v. United States cases could have allowed doctors to deny emergency abortion care to pregnant people, that is protected by EMTALA. Such a decision would have disproportionately affected marginalized communities, making it even harder for them to receive urgent medical care.

Everyone deserves the right to treatment for emergency medical conditions, including abortion care. We aren’t satisfied with stopping there… We need abortion access FOR EVERYONE. Period.

Your support helps us fight today's battles and lay the groundwork for a movement that will protect our rights for years to come. Donate today to support the movement.
