Our work to connect people with AbortionFinder.org has never been more urgent. People are navigating a system built to obstruct, confuse, and delay. They deserve clarity, support, and real options, and we’ve joined TikTok to deliver just that.

“We Can’t Wait”: Lessons from the New Abortion Landscape
“We need to normalize conversations about abortion access, specifically in the Black community and in faith-based circles, where oftentimes these things are not centered.”
Power to Decide CEO, Dr. Raegan McDonald-Mosley, recently spoke to Anissa Durham of Word in Black, sharing three things she’s learned in the last three years that have helped her continue to feel empowered about her sexual and reproductive health.

Federal Update
Supreme Court Decision Likely to Lead to Millions More Without Contraceptive Care
On June 26, in a 6-3 decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, the Supreme Court ruled that a Medicaid patient in South Carolina cannot sue to receive care at Planned Parenthood health centers—effectively barring Medicaid patients from getting care at Planned Parenthood in the state. The decision is an invitation to states that oppose Planned Parenthood to bar its health centers from the Medicaid program, leaving many people on Medicaid without a health center where they can get essential reproductive health care. For more, please see our statement.
Congress Passes H.R. 1 – A Bill That Steals Health Care from Millions to Fund Tax Cuts for the Wealthiest
On July 3, the House passed H.R. 1, 218-214, as amended by the Senate, and sent it to the President’s desk. The legislation cuts funding for safety net programs and increases tax cuts for those at the highest end of the income scale. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill will result in more than 12 million people losing their health care coverage. It also bans Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood health centers for one year, which will force clinics across the country to close permanently. For more on the bill, please see our statement.
