Extremist judges will not stop endangering the lives of pregnant people or people who may become pregnant—overturning Roe v. Wade, attacking medication abortion, threatening the future of IVF, and this week at SCOTUS, emergency abortion care.
Our lawyers are waging strategic fights that make clear what is at stake for people who can become pregnant and seek to bolster our fundamental rights to control our lives, futures, and destinies.

(Washington, D.C.) Today, the U.S. Senate failed to move forward legislation that intends to eliminate health insurance coverage of abortion, S. 109.
The following is a statement by Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC):
“Senate leadership need to get their priorities in order. Instead of addressing a partial government shutdown that is harming people across the country, they chose to push a vote to take insurance coverage of abortion away from women across the country. Eliminating insurance coverage of abortion places an enormous barrier on those who need access to abortion care, particularly those struggling to make ends meet. These attacks put people’s health and lives at risk and must stop once and for all.”
