We are witnessing a new wave of extreme bans on abortion, stripping away reproductive freedom and representing an all-out assault on abortion access. This anti-abortion extremism is terrifying, particularly for communities of color and the low-income communities who will be most affected by these unconstitutional bans.
Please RSVP and join us on to #StoptheBans!
Alabama just passed a bill that will ban abortion in almost all cases - even in the first 12 weeks. Almost daily there is news of a new ban or restriction on access to abortion across the country, as states race to pass the legislation that will be the basis for challenging Roe v. Wade.
Focus on the Family is converging on Times Square to protest NY's passage of the Reproductive Health Act, and they'll be broadcasting a "4D Ultrasound" up on a jumbotron to further the incendiary, totally false claims being made about later abortion. Join Choice Matters, Lady Parts Justice League, Shout Your Abortion, and other pro-choice, pro-women organizations in making it crystal clear to Focus on the Family that New Yorkers don't want their radical anti-choice agenda in our backyard. Their hate isn't welcome here or anywhere!
