Dear Supporter,
Anti-abortion politicians are working overtime to eradicate access to reproductive health care by imposing medically unnecessary restrictions that shutter clinics, delay and obstruct people’s access to reproductive health care, lower the quality of care, and are meant to shame those seeking abortion care.
Access to abortion is a right supported by decades of legal guarantees. Yet, every day, our rights are being insulted and chipped away by harmful restrictions, creating gross inequities in who can access health care, depending on their zip code.
Urge Congress to act and protect access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare!>>
In 2019 so far, seven states - Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, and Kentucky - have all passed forms of abortion bans. These attacks create a patchwork of access to abortion care and push care out of reach for populations that are already treated as marginalized: those living in poverty, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, those who live in rural areas, and young people.
Pushing back against these crushing regulations requires a strong response to combat anti-abortion extremists. That is why we need you to raise your voice and take urgent action today!
Congress has introduced the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) -- legislation that will create a federal safeguard to protect those seeking abortion from outright bans, obstacles, and medically unnecessary restrictions. WHPA takes crucial steps toward protecting access to essential reproductive health care, self-determination, and the constitutional rights of all people, no matter where they live.
Together, we can fight to restore our rights. A changed Supreme Court and relentless, escalating attacks by anti-abortion politicians means safeguarding access to abortion is essential, now more than ever.
Thank you,
-- Zach, PFAW
