Hi John,

The anti-abortion movement is ramping up its disinformation campaign—this time, targeting public schools and shaping how young people understand pregnancy and abortion. In at least 15 states, lawmakers are pushing legislation to mandate Live Action’s “Baby Olivia” video, a deceptive piece of propaganda disguised as fetal development education. These efforts go beyond just disinformation—they’re part of a larger strategy to undermine abortion access, stigmatize medication abortion, and spread the lie that abortion is never medically necessary. Reproaction has always been committed to exposing and combating anti-abortion disinformation, and we won’t stop fighting back.

Sign our petition to keep anti-abortion disinformation out of public schools here.
