Team—

A new report released this week by the Commonwealth Fund highlights the devastating correlation between abortion restrictions and high maternal death rates in the United States — bans and restrictions contribute to a 62% higher maternal death rate compared to states where abortion is more easily accessible. 

The stakes have never been higher and we need you with us. 

A generous donor has challenged the Center for Reproductive Rights to raise $250,000 by the end of the year and will match every dollar we receive FOUR TIMES. 

This is an amazing opportunity to expand your support of reproductive rights.

When the U.S. Supreme Court announced its devastating ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade—decimating the right to abortion in the United States—we didn't shrink or surrender. We accelerated our work to preserve and expand access to reproductive health care for as many people as possible.

We need your help now. Your donation today will be matched FOUR times. Team, will you help us preserve and expand access to abortion?

Every step of the way committed supporters like you have invested in this fight. And just last month voters in the United States made it clear that when people are given the chance to raise their voice directly on the issue of abortion, they overwhelmingly want that right protected.

Your support today will have 4x the impact on our work to:

• Protect and restore access to abortion care in as many U.S. states as possible, while preparing for a fight when state legislatures reconvene in January.
   
• Ensure that everyone has access to quality maternal health care and that discrimination and failures to respect women's autonomy and physical integrity are addressed. 
   
• Secure meaningful federal action in the U.S. by opposing nationwide abortion bans and supporting the Women's Health Protection Act, which would safeguard abortion rights across the country.
   
• Build on our significant victories that expand access to sexual and reproductive health care and rights for millions of people in Tanzania, Chile, Nepal, and around the world.

We know we can count on you for the fight ahead. Please make your 4X MATCH gift now.

Sincerely,

Jill Berger
Interim Chief Development Officer

P.S. I know the loss of Roe v. Wade is gut wrenching. It's an affront to our rights and dignity. But we've spent decades preparing for this moment—building resources and partnerships, defending and expanding rights in the states, and advancing the global movement for reproductive rights. Help us keep the fight going with your 4X match gift today.
