This criminal activity happened in California--a state that is proactively protecting the legal right to abortion. That's why legal access isn't enough. States must do more to support providers and ensure their safety.

BREAKING

Oklahoma's legislature gave its final approval to a bill that will ban nearly all abortions beginning at fertilization.

Once the Governor signs it, it will take effect immediately and become the nation's strictest abortion ban.

By now you probably know about the case in TX where a woman was wrongfully charged for self-managing her abortion care. Although her case was thankfully dropped, her story is the first of many to come.

Why was a Texas woman charged with murder over an abortion?

Texas prosecutors dropped their nonexistent case, but it will still have a chilling effect.
