Dear team,
We have some big news: Today, the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) was reintroduced in the U.S. Congress!
This important federal legislation would protect the right to access abortion care across the U.S. WHPA defends every person's right to make decisions about whether and when to become a parent, and safeguards abortion access from medically unnecessary restrictions and bans.
But we need your help protecting abortion access—and it only takes a minute. Tell your representatives to support the Women's Health Protection Act now!
Then, show your support for WHPA on social media by sharing the posts below!
This year is on track to be the most devastating for abortion rights in decades, with lawmakers already introducing scores of abortion restrictions in state legislatures across the U.S. And just a few weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court took our case challenging a Mississippi abortion ban that presents a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade.
Attacks on abortion access are increasing, disproportionately harming people who already face obstacles to accessing health care, particularly Black, Indigenous, and people of color, women, people working to make ends meet, the LGBTQI+ community, immigrants, young people, and people with disabilities.
It's clear we need a law that protects our right to access abortion, free from unnecessary restrictions. We need WHPA. Contact your representative today and tell them to support this critical legislation.
After all, abortion is not a right if only some people can access it. We all deserve access to the essential health care we need, including abortion, and the right to determine our own futures. The Women's Health Protection Act is essential to making this a reality, no matter where you live.
Thank you for standing with us.
In solidarity,
Nancy Northup
President & CEO
