John,
In response to Alabama clinics pausing IVF after the state Supreme Court's ruling, an Alabama state senator has introduced legislation stating that ONLY embryos inside of a uterus must be considered children.
I'm sharing this because it makes clear: this has always been about controlling our bodies and reproductive capacities, and never been about science. Anti-choice politicians are putting it all out there: they only care about legislation that allows them control over our uteruses, our bodies, and our futures.
And once again, the poisonous rhetoric and policy begins in the states. That's why we are all hands on deck to elect local and state candidates dedicated to protecting our rights—because our communities deserve more.
Thank you for continuing to stand with us,
Maris Nyhart

---PREVIOUS MESSAGE---
John,
By now, you’ve seen the devastating news: Many doctors in Alabama, under threat of criminal punishment, have been forced to stop providing care to patients hoping to grow their families using in vitro fertilization (IVF), all because the state Supreme Court ruled that embryos should legally be considered children
To be clear, this decision flies in the face of science, and it’s only the latest in a string of attacks from politicians hellbent on controlling reproductive capacities in America. Their agenda was never limited to banning abortion—although that’s horrifying on its own. Already in 2024, we’ve seen continued attacks on birth control, medication abortion, LGBTQ rights, and IVF.
The stakes couldn’t be higher, and that’s why we’re fighting so hard: our most basic freedoms are on the line.
And this state Supreme Court decision directly highlights exactly why our team prioritizes state Supreme Court elections – like the ones happening in states including Ohio, Michigan, and Montana this year.
This is a heartbreaking blow, and another example of politicians inserting themselves between patients and their healthcare providers.
Our work for abortion access is part of our broader mission: to achieve a country in which everyone can decide if, when, and how to raise a thriving family in a safe, healthy community.
Thank you for being with us on this journey to protect reproductive freedom – from abortion rights to birth control, from comprehensive sex ed to accessible family planning resources – and everything in between.
In solidarity,
Sara Tabatabaie
