Dear John,
By now you’ve heard that the Supreme Court will hear the Jackson Women's Health case involving Mississippi’s unconstitutional 15-week abortion ban. This decision follows an unprecedented surge in state bills restricting abortion care, with over 500 introduced since January.
The goal of these coordinated efforts is to gut and overturn Roe v. Wade. We must do everything we can to fight these vicious attacks. But just protecting Roe is not enough, our work must go beyond legality to ensure access exists for those who need it.
PRH is working with physicians around the country—from Texas to North Carolina to Mississippi—to push back on these onerous restrictions, increase abortion access, and stop the shaming of people who need essential health care. Check out a few highlights of our work this month below.
As attacks on abortion escalate, your support is critical to mobilizing physician advocates to do even more to secure reproductive health care for all people.
In partnership,
Dr. Jamila Perritt, President & CEO
