Jack, add your name: Thank abortion providers.
ADD YOUR NAME
Amid the swirl of righteous fury following the draft opinion showing that the Supreme Court intends to overturn Roe v. Wade, we can’t forget the people at the very heart of this fight: abortion providers and the patients they serve.
When we think of “abortion providers,” a doctor is probably the first image that comes to mind. But we must also celebrate the clinic nurses, support staff, and escorts who do so much to provide compassionate, affirming care for people seeking abortion.
Abortion providers often travel to fill coverage gaps in states with one or few clinics, remain on-call late into the night navigating the minutiae of ever-changing restrictions, and are forced to conduct medically unnecessary procedures and conversations with patients because of politically-motivated anti-abortion laws.
Add your name: Join us in celebrating abortion providers today and every day.

Administrative and legislative barriers aren’t the only difficulties abortion providers are up against. They also face extraordinary violence: since Dr. David Gunn was murdered outside of his Florida clinic in 1996, violence against abortion providers has been on the rise. Clinics and providers face bomb threats, arson, shootings, stalking, harassment, death threats, and more.
Through all of this, doctors and clinic staff courageously continue to provide care. They are real-life heroes who deserve to be celebrated each and every day.
Add your name: Thank abortion providers for all they do to ensure people receive compassionate, affirming medical care.

In solidarity,

P.S. Abortion Provider Appreciation Day is recognized annually on March 10 in honor of Dr. Gunn, who was murdered by an anti-abortion, white supremacist extremist. The Abortion Care Network has compiled an excellent list of resources with more information about how we can show our gratitude for abortion providers.
