“Reproductive justice” isn’t a synonym for reproductive rights. It’s an entire framework created by Black women in the 1990s that centers BIPOC, women, & pregnant folks, and asserts our right to parent, not parent, and live & thrive in safe, healthy communities.
The Hyde Amendment has pushed abortion care out of reach for over 40 years. The pandemic has magnified Hyde’s impact and exposed inequities that women of color, LGBTQ folks, young people, and immigrants face when trying to get health care, including abortion.

Medication abortion has a proven 20-year record of safety and effectiveness. Unnecessary regulations requiring in-person consultations create increased risks of COVID-19 exposure & barriers to abortion care for those who need it most.

Reproductive justice is about ensuring everyone can parent, not parent, live and thrive in safe & healthy communities. Being able to reach abortion care is an essential part of this—so is busting abortion stigma through storytelling.

Co-opting an emergency funding bill in the midst of a public health crisis to add a ban on abortion coverage shows just how far the Trump administration and anti-abortion politicians will go to push their agenda.
A key sticking point in the talks appears to be GOP demands to include Hyde amendment language in the bill to prevent federal funds from being used for abortion

George Floyd should still be here today, with his daughter and his family. Today’s verdict is just a start. Justice for George Floyd and the countless Black lives that have been lost to police brutality requires dismantling larger systems of white supremacy and anti-Black racism
