Let’s continue to fight to save health care, including abortion access! SIGN NOW

Dear Friend,

Today marks 53 years since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade made abortion legal nationwide. This was a day to celebrate the right to critically important health care. But it’s not a day to celebrate anymore, it’s a day to activate. Why? Since 2022, when Roe was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, access to abortion care has been rolled back in disastrous ways at the state level.

Let’s demand that our Congressional leaders stand in the fight for health care, including abortion access!

Access to reproductive health care is being rolled back at the same time as devastating health care cuts, signed into law by Trump, are happening. These cuts include almost $1 trillion from Medicaid. [1] And it is estimated that over 2 million reproductive age women could lose health care coverage, as a result of these cruel cuts. [1]

Rolling back health care access hurts everyone. And let’s be clear, increasing abortion restrictions have already proven to be deadly. Since the overturn of Roe, mothers have died as a result of state-based abortion bans in places like Georgia and Texas. For instance, after being denied the health care they needed, Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, Josseli Barnica, Nevaeh Crain, Porsha Ngumezi, Ciji Graham, and Tierra Walker didn’t survive their health crises. Their children and families were left grieving the very preventable deaths of their mothers. [2,3,4,5] 

We stand firm to keep fighting for the lives of women and moms. Sign our letter now!

Did you know that most women who have abortions - 6 out of 10 - are already moms? [6] Polls show that most Americans agree abortion should be accessible to everyone who needs it. And this has been demonstrated nearly every time they have voted on the issue at a state level. [7]

A person should be able to decide if they’re going to have children, and if so, how many. Doctors should be able to provide this essential health care. It is a right that exists in all other industrialized countries, a right that women in the U.S. need as well. [8]

Thanks for all you do,
