It's not breaking news that every restriction on abortion chips away at a patient's health, bank account, and autonomy.
Take a look at Missouri: As a result of years of attacking abortion access, there is only one remaining health center in the state that provides abortion — meaning some people have to drive several hours and take time off work to access the essential care they need. And that's not to mention the several other medically unnecessary hoops required just for a patient in Missouri to have an abortion, like forced waiting periods and required state‑mandaded counseling.
All around the country, patients face forced ultrasounds, the cost of transportation, and more — there are so many medically unnecessary hoops a person needs to jump through. And these restrictions are specifically designed to make it even harder, if not impossible, to access abortion.
That's where you come in. Your gift today, matched $1‑for‑$1 up to a total of $500,000 until midnight on December 31, will help us mobilize supporters to fight back against state‑level restrictions, work to expand abortion access in all 50 states, and more.

Patients and doctors agree: Restrictions on reproductive health care are NOT about care, they are about politicians inserting themselves into the exam room and restricting the rights of others.
Together we can push lawmakers to support policies that break down these systemic barriers to care, fight back against misinformation that shames people seeking abortions and stigmatizes the people who provide them, and galvanizes the millions of people who support abortion rights. Your DOUBLED gift today makes it possible.
We'll never stop fighting for you,
Your friends at Planned Parenthood Action Fund
