Team,

I'll get right to the point: If the U.S. Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, it would open the door for lawmakers at the state and federal levels to further restrict access to abortion in the United States.

We're headed to the U.S. Supreme Court to defend Roe and it's clear that there's a lot on the line. To protect our constitutional right to access legal abortion care, we're relying on the partnership of supporters like you to carry us through.

That's why I hope you'll make a gift of $35 or more right now to defend reproductive rights for all. Will you make your very first gift today?

Our current Supreme Court case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, challenges a Mississippi law banning abortion after just 15 weeks of pregnancy. The case poses a direct challenge to Roe, and there is no path for the Court to uphold Mississippi's ban without overturning the core holding of that landmark 1973 decision.

For years, the Center has been ringing the alarm to make clear that a Roe reversal would be devastating. In fact, 12 states—including Mississippi—currently have trigger bans on the books which are intended to instantaneously ban abortion if Roe is overturned.

While abortion remains legal in all 50 states today, the outcome of this case is vital to the future of abortion access in the United States. Donate today to protect reproductive rights.

Thank you for your support,

Elisabeth Smith
Director, State Policy and Advocacy
