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.

Women have – and will – always need access to abortion, regardless of the legality of the procedure. Pre-Roe, the illegality of abortion meant that many women, desperate to end their pregnancies, would pursue illegal abortion, often by unsafe means. “She’s Not Free”: Doctors Reflect on a Pre-Roe World is a short report that details abortion pre-Roe, what Roe meant for women and abortion access, and what overturning or gutting Roe would mean for women today.
