Dear there,
Here at the Center, we have a team of experts tracking and analyzing
hundreds of bills as they work their way through state legislatures
across the United States. Some aim to protect and even expand
reproductive rights by removing barriers to access.
But most of the bills we're tracking aim to restrict our reproductive
rights with increasingly extreme measures that put the health of
people across the country at risk. Some of these bills aim to ban
specific methods of abortion care entirely-such as bills that
would prohibit medication abortion, which is proven to be safe,
effective, and in demand. Others attempt to prohibit abortion based on
a person's reason for seeking care.
We are in the busiest months of the legislative session and must be
ready to act wherever and whenever we're needed.

With you by our side, we'll be prepared to fight these extreme
bills and file new cases to preserve access in any state where
reproductive rights are being threatened. Please renew your support
before April 30 to support this critical work.

As one of our most committed supporters, I know I don't have to
tell you that anti-abortion politicians are executing an aggressive,
coordinated national strategy to legislate abortion out of existence.
Since 2011, close to 500 bills restricting abortion access have been
passed by anti-abortion state lawmakers across the country. In the
first three months of 2021, nearly a dozen new laws have been enacted
in states like Arkansas, New Mexico, and South Dakota, putting the
health and rights of people there at greater risk.
One in four women in the U.S. will make the decision to have an
abortion in the course of her life. Yet in large parts of the country,
obtaining abortion care is difficult-and in some cases,
impossible-due to the new and increasingly extreme barriers put
in place by these kinds of laws.
We will continue working for as long as it takes to ensure not only
that reproductive rights are respected as human rights, but that
everyone-no matter who you are or where you live-has the
ability to exercise those rights.
