Today marks 49 years since Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that protects the right to abortion. Take a moment right now to celebrate this milestone by making a gift to support abortion access.

Your donation will be shared between your local Planned Parenthood affiliate and organizations that support independent providers and abortion funds.¹

Back in 1973, some people thought the Roe decision was the end of a fight. After all, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects the right to abortion. It's settled law.

But the attacks on abortion access never stopped — they only changed form. Patients have been subjected to outrageous burdens and insurmountable barriers to care. Politicians at the state and federal levels have done all they could to force providers to shut down.

Protecting access to abortion has taken courage, resilience, and an unshakeable commitment to doing what's right for patients. That is the work of Planned Parenthood affiliates and independent abortion providers in District Of Columbia, and the powerful network of abortion funds all across the country. Their work is possible only with the support of grassroots activists and advocates who remain steadfast in their commitment to reproductive health, rights, and justice.

Your gift today will be shared across that movement, from your local Planned Parenthood to organizations supporting independent providers and connecting patients to the care they need. Make your gift today in honor of 49 years of Roe.

The truth is, there is no end to the struggle for abortion access.

Not in a country where Roe has been challenged from the day it was decided, and even now that it may be at the cusp of reversal.

Not in a country where patients are forced to travel hundreds of miles, endure unnecessary delays, and pay out of pocket to get the care they need — if they can afford it.

Not in a country where racism and discrimination still makes it harder for Black, Brown, and Indigenous patients to access all types of health care, including abortion.

This Roe anniversary isn't about the end of a struggle — it's a reminder of what is at stake. It's a moment to reflect on how far we have come and to see clearly the work that lies ahead. It's a moment for those of us in this movement to renew our commitment to patients and to each other.

I hope you'll take this chance to do just that. Make your special gift today and it will be shared across the movement for abortion access where it will do the most good.

Thank you for doing your part.

In Solidarity,

Danika Severino Wynn, Vice President of Abortion Access
