Team,
Today, we hope you'll join us in celebrating International Human
Rights Day! As the only global legal advocacy organization dedicated
to protecting reproductive rights, we want to recognize the monumental
gains you have helped us make in securing reproductive rights as human
rights in countries around the world.
In a landmark ruling last week, the Inter-American Court of Human
Rights has, for the first time, established standards throughout the
region to help protect women seeking reproductive health care,
including abortion. The case sought justice for Manuela, a Salvadoran
woman who, in 2008, was unjustly sentenced to 30 years in prison after
suffering an obstetric emergency.
Our ability to fight on behalf of people everywhere relies on
the partnership of people like you. When you make a gift to the Center
for Reproductive Rights today, in honor of International Human Rights
Day, a longtime Center supporter will now

match your contribution THREE TO ONE, up to $150,000! That means that
your gift today will have 4X the impact in the fight to protect
reproductive rights as human rights.

Over 50 countries have liberalized their abortion laws over the past
25 years, protecting the rights of people across the globe to make
their own decisions about whether or when to continue a pregnancy.
While some of these reforms have been incremental, many have been
truly transformative, overturning absolute bans on abortion in favor
of protecting reproductive autonomy.
But as we reflect on this incredible progress, we must not forget that
the health and rights of millions of people are still at risk and our
opponents aren't slowing down.
Earlier this year, the Slovakian legislature considered-and
ultimately rejected-a bill that would have required providers to
read misleading language to patients seeking abortion services,
increase the mandatory waiting period to 96 hours, and implement
mandatory reporting to the government about patients seeking abortion.
The Center joined more than 100 organizations in signing a letter to
engage the Slovakian Parliament on the harms this legislation would
have caused, explaining that it would obstruct access to safe abortion
care and violate Slovakia's international human rights obligations.
We will not rest until everyone, no matter where they live, has access
to the vital reproductive care that they need.
