Team,
Did you know that the U.S. has the shameful distinction of being 1 of only 4 countries that have rolled back abortion rights since 1994? During the same period, nearly 60 countries have liberalized their abortion laws.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and take away the right to abortion in the U.S. is unprecedented and in stark contrast to worldwide trends.
With so much at stake, we must continue to build, enforce, and defend legal protections for reproductive rights around the world, but we need your help. Will you make a gift to the Center for Reproductive Rights today to ensure we have the critical resources needed to continue this fight?
Since Roe was overturned, anti-abortion proponents have tried to blunt public outrage by asserting that the Court's decision puts the U.S. more in line with global norms on abortion. This is patently false.
Since 1994, nearly 60 countries have liberalized their abortion laws. The Center has been part of the global effort to advance abortion rights across the globe, from being a vital member of the coalition that worked to liberalize abortion in Colombia to advocating for the High Court of Kenya to affirm the right to abortion as a fundamental right under the Constitution.
No one, no matter where they live, should ever be deprived of the right to make their own decisions about their lives and futures. Make a gift today to help fund this fight.
These are our rights and our fight. Thank you for your support.
Onward,
Katy Mayall
Director of Strategic Initiatives
