Rebecca^* checks out of her hotel. Everything went smoothly yesterday; her whole appointment — including the consultation with her provider, her procedural abortion, and a little more than an hour of recovery time in the post-procedure room — was just a few hours.

Before getting in the car to start her long journey home, she takes a few ibuprofen to alleviate cramps and lines her underwear with a pad to catch any bleeding.

She has a long drive ahead of her — one she wouldn't have to make if lawmakers in states like Texas had respected the will of the majority of Americans who want to keep abortion legal. It's up to us — Planned Parenthood Action Fund, our allies, and you — to change the laws in states where abortion is now banned and to restore and expand access wherever we can.

Help prevent future journeys like Rebecca's. Power the fight to reverse abortion bans and restore access to care with a year-end gift to Planned Parenthood Action Fund before midnight tonight.

It's on us — all of us — to fight for laws that allow abortion access no matter where you live, and to make it easier for abortion providers to work in states where abortion is still legal — to help so many more patients get the care they need and deserve.

Make your gift by midnight tonight so we can meet our crucial 10,000 donor goal.

Thank you for standing with us in this fight.

— Planned Parenthood Action Fund
