Since the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated the constitutional right to abortion, many states have taken action to deny abortion care–12 states have near-total abortion bans in place, and access to medication abortion is restricted in 15 states. Some of these restrictions prevent state residents from getting an abortion in other states, prohibit abortion even for medical reasons, or outright criminalizes abortion.

Access to safe and legal abortion healthcare is a right.

It is critical for Congress to pass federal legislation to protect reproductive rights for everyone. We have a chance to do just that—the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) of 2023 provides a nationwide safeguard against abortion bans and restrictions that push abortion care out of reach, protecting the right to an abortion at the national level.

By passing WHPA, our legislators would lift barriers to care that disproportionately impact Black, Brown, and Indigenous people, trans and queer people, disabled people, low-income people, and people living in rural areas. They could prevent more paternal and infant deaths. And they would enshrine reproductive freedom.

Abortion healthcare access must be free, accessible, and available everywhere, in every state, for everyone. When we expand access, we all win.

People are currently being denied abortion care, we don't have time to waste. Congress must use every possible tool at their disposal to guarantee reproductive freedom for all.
