This weekend marks 49 years since the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade, protecting the right to legal abortion in the U.S. Since then our goal at Planned Parenthood has remained the same: to make sure that anyone who needs an abortion can get one.

Planned Parenthood health centers offer essential health care — and support from people like you makes it possible. But access to care has never been about one organization. More than half of all abortions in this country are performed by independent providers, and they deserve your support, as well. And, many people access care thanks to the support of abortion funds all over the country.

Please, make a gift today to honor the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Your donation will be shared between your local Planned Parenthood affiliate and organizations that support independent providers and abortion funds.¹

We also encourage you to consider donating to these organizations directly, by clicking the links at the bottom of this email.

As momentous as the Roe decision was, a single court ruling is not enough to protect access to care.

Access means having a trusted provider within your community. Access means overcoming the barriers and burdens lawmakers have heaped on patients. Access means making sure that Black, Latino, Indigenous, rural, and low-income communities get the same level of care as white or higher income communities.

Independent providers and abortion funds are essential to bridge the gap between the right to abortion and access to care. Make your Roe anniversary gift now to fund their work and your local Planned Parenthood affiliate.

Right now, we are facing the most serious threat to abortion in decades. In just a few months, the Supreme Court may unravel or overturn Roe v. Wade. No matter what happens, it will take all of us working together to protect patients and provide the care they need.

We are proud to be a part of this movement along with abortion funds and the medical professionals and support staff at independent providers. They are allies and champions in this work, and their commitment to patients is truly inspiring. Help strengthen this movement with a gift today.

Thank you for your ongoing support — for Planned Parenthood, for providers, and for patients.
