Dear John, Seven days ago, the most extreme abortion ban in the country went into effect in Texas. That means seven days of confusion and panic as people seeking abortions scramble to find the care they need. Forgive my bluntness -- but this disaster is only going to get worse. The Supreme Court turned a blind eye to the devastation this ban will cause, and will soon hear another case that could further decimate abortion access. Meanwhile, elected officials in other states have already signaled their intention to follow Texas’s lead. Caught in the crossfire will be people with nowhere to turn. At NIRH and our Action Fund, we are committed to fighting on the ground while the lawyers are in the courts. We know that the best path forward is to work at the state and local levels to protect and expand reproductive freedom -- including access to abortion -- everywhere we can. This strategy has always been central to NIRH’s theory of change. With your support, we will continue to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our partners and allies in Texas to turn the tide over the long term by offering policy guidance, campaign strategies, and building a stronger, more effective, and more inclusive movement for reproductive freedom. We will also press forward in every state we can to secure affordable abortion access -- because everyone who needs care should receive it with support, with dignity, and without fear. Will you please make a donation to help NIRH and the NIRH Action Fund right now? Together, we will not only fight back against these terrible and terrifying bans, we will push forward toward a better future. In solidarity, ANDREA MILLER President P.S. - If you are in the NYC region, show your support for abortion access by joining us at the and Bans off Our Bodies rally tomorrow afternoon! Purpose.
