49 years ago today, Roe v. Wade became the law of the land, legalizing abortion care across the country. But the fight for reproductive freedom did not end there.
Abortion access is still under attack — from the Hyde Amendment, which bans health providers who facilitate abortions from receiving federal funding, to draconian state-level laws, like Texas’ S.B. 8, which bans abortions at 8 weeks — long before many people know they’re pregnant.
Since the passage of S.B. 8, we’ve seen similar regressive, inhumane legislation pop up in state after state— and responding to these nationwide attacks on reproductive justice requires immediate and intentional action.
That is why Ayanna and our coalition to protect and codify reproductive rights are keeping up the pressure to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act in the Senate and send it to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
The Women’s Health Protection Act would safeguard the right to abortion care throughout the United States—a major step toward realizing true reproductive justice.
Every day that we don’t sign the Women’s Health Protection Act into law, more and more people are denied their right to essential medical care — especially low-income, queer and trans, Black, Brown, AAPI, and Indigenous folx.
Ayanna is working tirelessly alongside advocates and organizers in the movement for reproductive justice to ensure every person, no matter where they live, is guaranteed their fundamental right to abortion care.
Thank you for your support today,
The A-Team
