John — as we wait for updates on the momentous far-right lawsuit against the abortion pill mifepristone, it’s important to stay on top of the other news surrounding the fight for reproductive rights.
But first, we need to ask you to make your first contribution to power our fight. This month, email donors are giving an average of $18.60. Please, match that and contribute $18.60 ASAP so when we next have to activate, we’re ready.
Here are some headlines we wouldn’t want you to miss:
Abortion foes seek vows from 2024 GOP hopefuls Leading anti-abortion groups intend to ensure the next Republican presidential nominee would enact a federal abortion ban. |
“You Know What? I’m Not Doing This Anymore.” OB-GYNs and other medical providers are considering leaving Texas since they’re unable to provide quality care in the face of a cruel, extreme abortion ban. Meanwhile, patients struggle to access the care they need. |
New law puts Wyoming at forefront of abortion pill bans All abortion is illegal in Wyoming as of last weekend. Wyoming Republicans also passed a ban specifically covering medication abortion, which is set to take effect in July. However, abortion using pills is already outlawed under the state’s ban. |
Only 1 percent of abortions in Utah took place in a hospital. Soon, that’s the only place they’ll be allowed. Although Utah still allows abortion up to 18 weeks, abortion care is set to become much less accessible. 99% of abortions in Utah take place in clinics. Republicans just passed a law requiring any abortion care to take place in hospitals — yet another way anti-abortion extremists seek to ban abortion without passing explicit bans. |
If these headlines make you angry, we get it. Us too. And that anger fuels our determination to keep up the fight.
We’re determined to do whatever it takes so patients in every corner of our country can access quality reproductive health care — including abortion care.
