There’s no question that abortion restrictions are becoming more extreme. There has been a coordinated effort by anti-choice lawmakers to slowly undermine access to this essential care. Here’s a look at this process over the last few years:

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops is scheduled to meet next week and their main concern has nothing to do with the real issues that are plaguing our society today. Instead, they’re focused on further alienating people because of their views on abortion.

"But what is most telling is what is not on the agenda: nothing about global warming, racism or the economy, the topics most central to the future of America and the world. What about voting legislation that is threatening our democracy?"

Abortion may still be legal in all 50 states but it is far from accessible for many people. #DYK that the right to abortion is not real if only some people can access it?

#Roe isn’t, and has never been, enough. We need to do more to ensure abortion isn't just a right on paper.

People talking openly about their abortion experiences has the power to change so much. It reduces stigma, lets people know that they’re not alone, and educates others on the different reasons why someone might choose to have an abortion.

Thank you for sharing your stories. 💙

NAF Board Member, @DrDGrossman, lays out exactly what Texas’ 6 week abortion ban means for folks in the state.

This law allows almost no time for someone to even find out they're pregnant let alone make all the arrangements to get an abortion.

I spoke to @Healthline about the implications of Texas' new abortion ban.

(Currently, abortion is still legal and available in Texas.)
