Thank you for this, @AngryBlackLady : "You can’t 'both sides' abortion. You can’t 'both sides' human rights. Either a person has the fundamental human right to bodily autonomy or they don’t. And where I come from? They do."

A 15-Week Abortion Ban Is a Coward's Compromise

Letting Mississippi's 15-week ban take effect—and undoing decades of precedent that permits the constitutional right to an abortion—is not a compromise.

Today we are spotlighting @elevatedaxs , an amazing partner in the work to help people who are forced to travel for abortion access. Through their network of volunteer pilots, they help to transport clients seeking abortion care or gender-affirming care across the country. 1/3

All of our clients receive 1-on-1 attention and a customized itinerary to meet their unique needs – but often, the hurdles are similar. We want you to understand what a typical client’s journey can feel like – that’s why we’re sharing this story of Lucile:

Wow – to all who bought the compilation album and to the artists who contributed a song – THANK YOU! This event raised $230,000 to be split between The Brigid Alliance, @noisefornow & @AbortionCare – and will go a long way toward increasing abortion access. Thank you so much. 💚

Good news in Georgia, where a judge has ruled against a law banning nearly all abortion care. We're grateful for our legal partners – every time we see a statewide step forward, someone who needs an abortion there is helped instead of forced to travel:

Traveling thousands of miles for basic health care is demoralizing, expensive, and antithetical to how we build community. But it's increasingly becoming a reality for people nationwide who need abortion care, including in Texas. Read 3 women's stories:

Even now, with Roe, so many struggle to get to their care; that's why the Brigid Alliance and a vibrant practical support network exist in the first place, and it's why we will be here to support NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS and no matter how far people have to go to access care. 3/4

Grateful for everyone working in the courts to hold off anti-abortion laws, including in Utah, Louisiana, and Texas. Every person who can receive the care they need in their home state is a win to celebrate:

Although it’s unclear how long the stopgaps on the abortion bans will hold, one thing is for sure: They’ll make a definite difference in the lives of hundreds of people.

This weekend we mark 49 years since the 'Roe v. Wade' ruling, again bringing to national consciousness the harms and dangers of restricting access to abortion care. We must ensure everyone can get the care they need when they need it, wherever they live:
