Repro Freedom Flyer Newsletter. A newsletter for supports of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

- Message from NARAL President, Ilyse Hogue -
The guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial demonstrated some necessary accountability — but we know there can be no real justice for George Floyd, whose life was stolen by white supremacy and police brutality. In solidarity with the Movement for Black Lives and Black leaders in the reproductive justice and racial justice movements, NARAL is committed to fighting for freedom and equality for every body . Racism is a public health crisis, and preserving a culture of white supremacy has always been central to the anti-choice movement. We know there will never be reproductive freedom until there is freedom from tyranny and oppression.

Political Update
The Biden-Harris Administration
The first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration are behind us and while there’s much to celebrate, it’s clear that reproductive freedom remains in peril. We MUST hold the administration to its promise to fight for reproductive freedom and demand they release a budget that robustly funds its commitment to reproductive freedom and excludes discriminatory restrictions on abortion like the Hyde and Helms Admendments, denial of care policies like the Weldon Amendment, and other attacks on our reproductive freedom.
Tell the Biden-Harris administration that the president’s budget MUST protect and expand reproductive health care for every body!

Combatting Disinformation
Republicans in Georgia recently passed a voter suppression bill targeting Black voters and other communities of color following the GOP’s losses in 2020. This anti-democracy bill and other bills like it are based on electoral disinformation amplified by actors on the Right, including the anti-choice movement. That’s why NARAL and our members are fighting back and making our voices heard — we’ve sent over 63,000 text messages and made nearly 10,000 calls urging senators to support federal legislation protecting voting rights. Read more about the anti-choice movement’s anti-democratic efforts. [[link removed]]

Volunteer Spotlight
"Access to quality healthcare — including abortion — is a right, not a luxury reserved for those lucky enough to live in an area with multiple healthcare options. My life shouldn’t be put at risk because of a hospital’s non-medical, ideological restrictions."
Last week, NARAL volunteer Maddie M. testified in front of the California legislature sharing her story of how the time-sensitive care she needed to treat an ectopic pregnancy was significantly delayed because of the restrictive policies of her local hospital allowing them to deny her timely care. Her incredible testimony ensured CA representatives heard from people impacted by denials of care, proving that storytelling is a powerful tool in the fight for reproductive freedom.

The State of
Repro Freedom
Ohio
Two weeks ago, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an Ohio abortion ban that punishes a doctor if they learn an abortion is sought for a particular reason. Unfortunately, this dangerous law is part of a trend of extreme abortion bans that force abortion providers to interrogate patients about why they may be seeking care.
Nevada
In Nevada, we’re fighting to advance legislation that ensures survivors have access to emergency contraception in the ER and to allow pharmacists to prescribe and dispense birth control.
Fight Back
Already this year, states have introduced or advanced over 290 restrictions on reproductive freedom and hundreds of laws targeting voting access.
Help us fight back!
