Dear John,

Following the overturn of Roe v. Wade in June, multiple and ongoing court battles, months of chaos, confusion, and fear, nearly one-third of states in America now have abortion bans in effect.

As extremist lawmakers target patients and their health care providers, physician advocacy has been crucial to help the public understand the real impacts of these attacks. We continue to bring our medical expertise and experience directly to Congress, state capitols, and national media – to advocate for our patients and make clear how abortion bans are deeply connected to other forms of oppression and injustice.

Check out a few recent highlights of our work below, including Jezebel’s coverage of our #NoAirTimeForAntis campaign demanding the media stop giving anti-abortion activists a platform to spread dangerous misinformation, disinformation, and threats.
