Tell the Senate to Protect Abortion Rights

Abortion rights are human rights. Every person, no matter what state or what country they live in, should have those rights guaranteed and protected.

As of June 24, 2022, the constitutional right to abortion no longer exists in the United States. Abortion has already been banned in nine states, and up to 34 could ban abortion mostly or completely in the coming weeks and months.

That's why we're asking the Senate to pass the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA). WHPA will re-establish the right to abortion as federal law and will prevent state governments from imposing onerous and unnecessary restrictions.

Please join us by asking your senators to vote in support of the Women's Health Protection Act today.
