Fifty years ago today, the Supreme Court made abortion a constitutional right with Roe v. Wade. Seven months ago, that right was taken away when the court overturned
Roe.
Today, on the anniversary of the original ruling, a young woman somewhere in Georgia may notice her period is late.
She may take a pregnancy test, and while she waits for results, she Googles the status of her state's abortion ban which changed so much in the past seven months that it's hard to keep track.
Your donation to Planned Parenthood will help connect folks in Georgia and across the country with the information they need about abortion access. Your gift will also allow us to work to expand and restore abortion care in states where lawmakers have banned some or all abortions.
Today, in Illinois, a parent of two kids may wonder how in the world she'll be able to pay for a babysitter while she travels to the nearest health center that provides abortion.
Imagine the relief she must feel when she finds out she can get a prescription via telemedicine and medication abortion through the mail to her Illinois address.
Your support helps Planned Parenthood health centers provide care to patients who so often find themselves cut off — including those with low incomes and in rural or remote areas.
Today, across the country, abortion patients are getting care at Planned Parenthood health centers. A patient who gets an abortion care basket — packed by a Planned Parenthood volunteer showing up for their community — will find extra pads, pain relievers, and a soothing tea. They'll think about how caring and supportive everyone at the Planned Parenthood health center has been every step of the way. We hear every day from patients like this. It's how we keep fighting.
It's support from people like you that lets us keep our promise: Care, no matter what. Please, make a special gift to help support our work now and in the months ahead. Every dollar makes a difference in our work to protect and expand reproductive health and rights.
Today, as we mark 50 years since Roe v. Wade was decided, we also mark the first anniversary of Roe v. Wade without a federal constitutional right to abortion.
We face abortion bans, hostile courts, and lawmakers who will do anything to take away our rights.
But we're not looking back. We're moving forward, building a new foundation for a world where everyone is free to get the health care they need, including abortion, to decide their futures and own their bodies.
Today and every single day, people are counting on Planned Parenthood. And time and again, this community steps up.
Please, make a special gift right now to help protect our rights and connect patients with the high-quality, compassionate care they deserve. No matter where they live. No matter what they're going through. No matter what.
Thank you for your commitment to this work, today and every day.
