The Planned Parenthood community is working around the clock to help people seeking abortion access navigate the sudden flood of bans, restrictions, and hardships — and your support is critical.

That's why we've created a special emergency fund and set a goal of 1,000 donors in just 72 hours. Your gift right now will go directly to support patients seeking abortion access at Planned Parenthood health centers and will help provide other critical resources. ⁽¹⁾

We predicted chaos in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. We expected some state lawmakers to rush to enact all-out abortion bans. And we knew that this ruling would create indescribable heartbreak and anguish for patients who suddenly found themselves cut off from care.

All of that has happened. All of that is happening. We also knew this:
 
And over the past two weeks, we have seen that commitment and that fire, the strength of that movement, in so many ways. Rallies and protests in hundreds of cities. Brave people telling their personal stories and refusing to be silenced. And so many people are asking how they can help protect and restore access to abortion.

Your gift right now will help strengthen this movement by directly supporting patients seeking abortion access and providing other critical resources.

The devastation of this Supreme Court ruling is still unfolding. Many states have advanced dangerous abortion bans. Some have been blocked by lawsuits, at least for now, while others have already forced health centers to stop providing abortion. The rights of millions of people are caught up in this turmoil, and many patients don't know where to turn.

No matter what happens next, Planned Parenthood is determined to be the same trusted, reliable health care provider and advocate that it has been for the last century. From health centers that provide a full range of reproductive health care, to Planned Parenthood organizations nationwide leading rallies and protests, to serving as the nation's largest provider of sex education — Planned Parenthood will always stand with patients, no matter what.

This is a painful moment, and the work ahead is daunting. I am so glad that we can count on you to be here with us.


P.S. We asked Planned Parenthood's legal experts some of the most urgent questions we're hearing from supporters about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Here's what you need to know.
