Stand up and speak up for reproductive rights

Matching Gift Challenge -- Raised: $56,464, Goal: $100,000
Dear John,

State by state, anti-abortion extremists are ramping up their efforts to intimidate women and undermine their reproductive health rights. In places where access to abortion care is already difficult, opponents of abortion rights are making things even worse for women. The good news is: with your matched gift, we can be ready to Stand Up and Speak Up everywhere our rights are challenged.

Women with fists up
In Kentucky, the Supreme Court upheld a law that requires doctors to show women an ultrasound and detailed description of the fetus before performing an abortion.
Keep Abortion Legal
A legal battle is up in Louisiana, where threats of harassment and violence may leave women without access to abortion services. Due to terrorism against clinics from anti-abortion extremists, one of the last remaining abortion care providers may be forced to stop practicing. NOW is a principal in an amicus brief in the June Medical Services v. Gee case that will be heard on March 4, 2020 by the Supreme Court.
NOW protest in front of the U.S. Supreme Court
And in Missouri the state health director kept a spreadsheet tracking the menstrual cycles of women to determine who had undergone what he called “failed abortions.”

For over 50 years, NOW has been there to challenge threats like these to women’s rights. And with you on our side, we always will.

When you give to NOW’s Stand Up! Speak Up! Matching Gift Challenge today, your donation will be matched to support our work to defend women’s reproductive rights.
