Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
Abortion is health care: everyone should have the right and access to reproductive health services they need to decide their own future.
Whether it’s pregnancy, birth, infertility, maternity, birth control or abortion-reproductive healthcare is basic care that people depend on for their health and for healthy families. Everyone should have the freedom to manage their own reproductive health decisions and access to the full range of reproductive services should be guaranteed no matter where you live or how much money you have. Denying, delaying or punishing people for seeking abortion care or getting abortions has dire health and economic consequences for women and their families. Since the 2022 Supreme Court reversal of the Constitutional right to abortion, we are already seeing the negative impact of bans and punitive measures to restrict abortion. Two thirds of Americans support access to safe, legal abortion. In the United States, people should have the freedom to decide for themselves if and when to start a family and access to the healthcare they need to do it safely and affordably. Learn more:
