We hosted an Expose Fake Clinic Action at the MaRih Center in Alexandria, Virginia. Staff and volunteers distributed fliers with information about fake clinics and let people know where they could find abortion care and parenting resources for new and expecting parents.

On Our Blog:

Jessica covered Reproaction’s protest action on anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List’s fundraising breakfast for top donors.

Kylie wrote about the anti-abortion film Unplanned and how, in the current political landscape, it creates a safety hazard to reproductive rights communities including abortion providers and their staff.

Reproaction in the News

Erin wrote an op-ed for The Virginian-Pilot about how the only logical consequence of banning abortion is and always has been sending people to jail for pregnancy outcomes, including self-managed abortions taking place outside of medical settings.

Erin was also quoted in Hello Beautiful about Marshae Jones being charged with manslaughter after someone else shot her in the stomach, ending her pregnancy against her will (the charges were later dropped).
