Dear John,
In September, one of the most restrictive abortion laws ever—Texas S.B. 8—took effect. PRH has been supporting colleagues on the ground and mobilizing our advocates to speak out about its harmful impact and copycat bans.
I’m sharing just a few highlights in this newsletter, including PRH Board Member Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi’s powerful op-ed in the New York Times about what it’s like to be a provider of abortion care in Texas and how pregnancy has become more dangerous for Texans.
Also, I hope you’ll check out our new Resource for Journalists Reporting on Abortion. It includes tips for discussing S.B. 8 and how to talk about abortion using medically accurate and inclusive language.
Thank you for your support.

—Dr. Jamila Perritt, President & CEO
