Message from Acting President
Adrienne Kimmel
It’s been a big month. The Supreme Court announced it’ll hear a case ( Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ) that could gut Roe v. Wade , the Biden-Harris administration released a presidential budget free of the Hyde Amendment's ban on Medicaid coverage of abortion care for the first time in decades, and Ilyse Hogue has stepped down as NARAL’s president.
Next month, I’ll officially begin my role as acting president of NARAL — and it couldn’t come at a more pivotal time. I’ll be blunt: The legal right to abortion is in real jeopardy like never before, and reproductive freedom is under unprecedented attack by state lawmakers. We'll keep fighting, and I know NARAL members will be right by our side to ensure we have a future where reproductive freedom truly is for every body.

Take Action
Protect Roe
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case directly challenging Roe v. Wade , putting our constitutional right to abortion in danger. If Roe fell tomorrow, eleven states already have “trigger bans” in place which would ban abortion instantly. Another 24 states states would likely take immediate action to ban abortion outright. The Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) is a crucial bill that would protect the right to abortion for everyone, no matter where they live.

Combating Disinformation
Amidst a surge of hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders — fueled by racist right-wing lies and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 — malicious actors are weaponizing social and traditional media to flood the AAPI community with disinformation. Ineffective multilingual content moderation by platforms like Facebook and the rise of anti-choice, fake news sites like The Epoch Times have led to a growing crisis of disinformation targeting AAPI communities.

Volunteer Spotlight
Rep. Padma Kuppa, State Rep for Michigan’s 41st House District, has been a NARAL volunteer for the past year. During that time, she has co-sponsored 2 phone banks, co-led a disinformation training in her district attended by 185 people, and recruited dozens of colleagues and community partners to join her in the fight for reproductive freedom.

"I strive to ensure access to quality, affordable reproductive healthcare for all because I believe in progressive policy that puts people first. Medical and social advances that include effective contraception, pragmatic sex education, access to safe, legal abortion, and protecting people’s privacy in making medical decisions are essential to a civil society.” —Rep. Kuppa

The State of
Repro Freedom
ARIZONA
Republicans in Arizona kicked off the 2021 session by introducing over a dozen bills attacking reproductive freedom, and NARAL members helped defeat many of these extreme and dangerous bills. Unfortunately, at the end of April, Arizona Governor Ducey signed a sweeping bill that criminalizes doctors who provide abortion care (SB 1457).
TEXAS
This month, Texas Governor Abbott signed legislation to ban abortion as early as 6 weeks — before many people even know they’re pregnant. The law would grant almost any person the power to sue someone for “aiding and abetting” a pregnant person seeking abortion care (SB 8). It is scheduled to go into effect later this year.
FIGHT BACK
Already this year, 8 states have enacted laws that criminalize doctors for providing abortion care to their patients, interfering with people’s freedom to make the best decision for their own circumstances.
Help us fight back!

Fund the Movement
The Supreme Court announced that it will hear Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization — a challenge to the 15-week abortion ban passed in Mississippi in 2018. This is a direct attack on Roe v. Wade . If Roe is overturned, abortion will immediately be banned in 11 states.
The future of reproductive freedom is at stake — and we need your help. Make an urgent gift to NARAL Pro-Choice America now. [[link removed]]
