The morning after the election, the Public Policy Litigation & Law team here at Planned Parenthood Federation of America was just as distraught as everyone else looking ahead to a new administration and congressional majority hostile to reproductive health and rights.

They know the stakes, they know the threat — and they got to work.

Just hours after Missouri voters passed a ballot initiative to protect abortion, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, and ACLU of Missouri sued the state on behalf of Planned Parenthood affiliates in Missouri to enforce those rights.

We were ready to move quickly and decisively to restore access to care — and it's your support that will ensure we're ready to spring into action each and every time we can use the courts to protect abortion access.

We've set a goal to raise $100,000 in 48 hours to support Planned Parenthood litigation and other efforts to protect our rights and expand access to care. The deadline is midnight — chip in now to power this urgent work.

To show our thanks, we'll send you a free sticker with your gift before the deadline.

Attacks on reproductive health and rights are coming from all sides. Our work in the courts is a critical part of protecting, restoring, and expanding abortion access.

In Missouri, that means suing to invalidate a total abortion ban, criminal penalties for abortion providers, and more. That case is pending now — and the outcome will affect care for countless Missourians.

Make a gift to Planned Parenthood Federation of America to help us reach our critical $100,000 goal before midnight tonight — and we'll send you a sticker to say thanks.

We need your help to make sure we are ready at a moment's notice when lawmakers try to enforce unconstitutional abortion bans. We rely on supporters like you to help fight against harmful laws intended to shut down health centers. We need to be ready to defend patients' care all the way up to the Supreme Court, if that's what it takes.

All of these fights require significant resources at a time when so many people rely on Planned Parenthood.

Make your contribution to help reach our $100,000 goal by midnight.

I'm so proud of the work our Planned Parenthood legal team does every day. Each one of them is incredibly committed to this work, and to protecting the right of every single person to control their body and decide their future.

And I know every time Planned Parenthood files a brief or stands up in court, people like you are right there with us. Thank you for your commitment.

Sincerely,

P.S. We need your generosity more than ever — the future of our reproductive freedom depends on it. But if you aren't in a place to give this year or already made your year‑end gift, we understand that. If you'd like to receive fewer messages from us for the rest of the year, you can submit a request here.
