Are abortion rates rising? @NatAbortionFed says it got almost 4X the number of calls in Canada in 2020 compared to 2019. The organization helps women who are in situations where accessing abortion care is particularly difficult.

Abortion access shouldn't depend on where you live. Yet states remain starkly divided about abortion with places like NJ and MA trying to protect access and states like AR and TX doing everything they can to restrict it--even during a pandemic #StopTheBans

A new law in Ohio would put more unnecessary strain on abortion clinics and dangerously create a public record of everyone in the state who chose to have an abortion, which could open patients up to harassment. #StopTheBans #AbortionIsHealthCare
