Let’s continue to fight to save lives! TAKE ACTION

Dear Friend, 

Today marks 52 years since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade made abortion legal nationwide. This was a day to celebrate the right to critically important healthcare. But in 2022, Roe was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobb’s decision. Now, women’s healthcare has been rolled back to disastrous levels.

Let’s demand that our Congressional leaders stand in this fight to protect abortion in every state!

Since the fall of Roe, mothers have died as a result of state-based abortion bans in places like Georgia and Texas. After being denied the healthcare they needed, Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, and Porsha Ngumezi didn’t survive their health crisis. Their children and families were left grieving the very preventable deaths of their mothers. [1,2,3,4] 

We stand firm to keep fighting for the lives of women, no matter who is in charge. Sign our letter now!

Did you know that most women who have abortions - 6 out of 10 - are already moms? [5] Most Americans agree abortion should be accessible to everyone who needs it. And this has been demonstrated nearly every time they have voted on the issue at a state level. [6]

A person should be able to decide if they’re going to have children, and if so, how many. Doctors should be able to provide this essential health care. It is a right that exists in all other industrialized countries, a right that women in the U.S. need as well. [7]

Click here to continue to pressure our elected leaders to fight to maintain, restore, and expand access to abortion.

Thanks for all you do,
