Margot and her partner were madly in love when she got pregnant. As they hitchhiked across the country to NYC to march against the use of nuclear weapons in 1982, they were eagerly planning their family life together—something counter-cultural, like them.

Somewhere between Central Park and the United Nations, Margot started feeling a sharp abdominal pain. By the time she reached a hospital, she had almost bled out. Her pregnancy was ectopic and had burst her fallopian tube. She was rushed into emergency surgery and stayed in the hospital for five days, but she survived.

It's shocking to consider that someone got better access to care more than 40 years ago than they would today. That's the thing: the threat of a national abortion ban doesn't wind back the clock to a more primitive time, it steers us into a dangerous new direction.

We have a bolder future in mind. During Women's History Month, let's make moves. Make a gift that moves our nation forward in a just and equitable direction, not a fascist one.

Margot's right. Some of the laws swirling around Capitol Hill right now would make it illegal for doctors to act quickly to save her life. That's what we're fighting against—and that's why we need your help. Will you make a gift to protect and expand abortion access during Women's History Month?

What we envision is a society where everyone, no matter who you are, where you are, or how much money you make, can access safe, affordable abortion care. Don't believe what the fascists spout to get us down: the future we envision is not far-fetched. Because when we all work together, we've got the tools to see it through.

The struggle we face today impacts all of us, but especially anyone who can get pregnant—cis women, trans people, and non-binary people alike. The truth is, it's all connected; and when abortion rights are under attack, we're all under attack. So I hope you'll take a stand for abortion rights during Women's History Month for our collective future with a gift today.
