John—
President Biden just followed through on campaign promises by taking executive action to end the dangerous global and domestic gag rules, resume funding for UNFPA international family planning, and pull the U.S. out of the anti-repro, anti-LGBTQ Geneva Consensus Declaration. But that’s only the start of undoing the immense damage caused by Trump’s assault on reproductive freedom.
NARAL is undertaking a MASSIVE effort to push the new administration to continue to prioritize protecting and expanding reproductive freedom in its first 100 days.
Tweet directly at President Joe Biden now thanking him for taking the first step toward expanding abortion access and for making reproductive freedom a priority at the start of the new administration!
One of Donald Trump's first acts in office four years ago was to reinstate and expand the global gag rule. The consequences continue to be devastating: Health clinics in Ethiopia shut down. Family planning efforts in Kenya were halted. Communities in Madagascar experienced contraception shortages.
And he didn’t stop there. Trump’s domestic gag rule devastated a program that had been providing family planning services to underserved communities for nearly 50 years. After this dangerous rule was implemented, roughly one quarter of participating providers were forced to leave the program, leaving some states without a single Title X provider.
Thanks to the continued support of members like you stepping up and taking action, we were able to achieve a great victory for reproductive freedom today!
But taking action to end the dangerous global and domestic gag rules is only the first step! Thank President Biden directly for protecting reproductive freedom and make sure he knows that we’re counting on him to keep abortion access at the forefront of the Biden-Harris administration.
After four years of Trump and his cronies in Congress trampling our most fundamental rights — and stacking our highest court with anti-choice extremists — reproductive freedom voters chose a new direction. Now we must lead the charge in urging the new administration to continue on this path.
The momentum is behind our movement, John. Now is the time for us to push President Biden and Vice President Harris to take bold, decisive action for reproductive freedom. Send your tweet now thanking President Biden for achieving this major win for reproductive freedom and let him know we’re expecting him to continue fighting to make abortion more accessible for everyone.
