John,
A majority of people in America support the right to abortion.
Recent polling shows that 63 percent of people oppose overturning Roe v. Wade and the constitutionally protected right to abortion. [1]
Yet that is exactly what the Supreme Court is poised to do this month. Donate now.
The dangerous, damaging consequences of this cannot be overstated. Studies have shown that when a person is denied an abortion, it creates economic hardships that last for years: It can cause people to stay in unsafe, violent relationships, and the development of the children a person already cares for is negatively impacted. Not to mention the health risks associated with carrying a pregnancy to term. [2]
Everyone should be able to create the family that works best for them, financially and emotionally. Abortion allows people to do this.
Even if you live in what feels like an ‘abortion safe state,’ the overturning of Roe will have reverberating impacts, including increased wait times for the time-sensitive procedure as people cross state lines to access care. And already, many rural areas within these ‘safe’ states lack clinic access, which is only getting worse.
Where you live should never determine your ability to access healthcare, including abortion. Give today.
Sincerely,
Erin Matson
Executive Director, Reproaction
