The last few weeks have been a roller coaster for reproductive care and rights. First, President Trump signed a law that "defunds" Planned Parenthood and puts health care for millions of people at risk.
A few days later, PPFA and two Planned Parenthood members sued the Trump administration to stop this attack on reproductive rights and care. A federal judge has granted partial relief to stop the “defund” for some Planned Parenthood health centers while our lawsuit continues. But make no mistake, this is a devastating blow to patients in many states and will have immediate consequences for communities nationwide.
Now, we're fighting in the courts for 1.1 million patients who stand to lose their reproductive health care access.
We know it's a lot, so we're checking in with Planned Parenthood supporters like you.
How are you feeling? Let us know! It will only take 30 seconds, and we really want to know how you're feeling.
Other Planned Parenthood supporters shared their thoughts with us, and people are feeling a lot right now.
Here are a few that really resonated:
-
I am sad that we have taken a step back with reproductive rights. I am scared for my daughter if/when she decides to have children. Living in a state with strict abortion bans. It's frightening to know she may not be able to get the care that is needed. — Tiffany
-
I am angry by the continued erosion of reproductive rights at every angle, but I just finished my patient escort training and I'm excited and ready to start volunteering! — Abby
-
I feel like I'm living in a country that cares less and less about the people living in it, less like a community where all should be unified. I feel scared of how far this administration is going to go in taking away people's rights. — Isabella
-
As disheartened as I am, I'm glad to be a small part of the larger movement for reproductive health and rights. I take a lot of solidarity and comfort in that. — Juan
-
I have 4 granddaughters who I am determined to not leave with less rights than I had. — Michelle Marie
We are so grateful to supporters who have already shared with us, and
we'd love for you to do the same. When we use our voices and take action, we are powerful.
