Standing Up for Abortion Access

February 27, 2020
A save the date card with the rally details. Why: Abortion is #MyRightMyDecision When: March 4, 2020 at 8am. Where: US Supreme Court, Washington, DC.

We believe in a future where all young people have the power to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. And we work every day to protect access to the full range of reproductive health services, including abortion. But right now, access to abortion – and the power to decide our futures – is at stake.

Next week, the Supreme Court is hearing a case about a Louisiana law that would dramatically hinder access to abortion care—leaving the state with one abortion clinic and setting a precedent for other states. The law being challenged before the Court would require abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of where they provide abortions. The result would be the closing of all but one clinic in Louisiana.

Abortion restrictions like Louisiana’s clinic shutdown law have one purpose: to take away our ability to access abortion care.

On Wednesday, March 4, we’re joining dozens of our coalition partner organizations to raise awareness around this critical case by rallying outside the Supreme Court. We invite you to join us at the #MyRightMyDecision rally to speak up for access to full range of reproductive health services and to protect our power to decide.

Graphic reading, "Everyone deserves the power to decide."

If you can’t join us on March 4, but still want to make sure your voice is heard then head to myrightmydecision.org to learn how you can help spread the word. Everyone deserves access to the full spectrum of reproductive health services, including abortion, so that they can live life on their own terms. Join us as we fight for health care.
