JUST IN → The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling today on EMTALA, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, still puts pregnant people at risk. For now, the 40 year old federal law requiring hospitals and doctors to provide emergency care, including abortions, when medically necessary will continue. However, the U.S. Supreme Court did not completely get rid of the politically motivated attacks on EMTALA. Instead, they created more confusion by sending the case back to Idaho, where it originated. This all means that we have more work to do! We need permanent protection for abortion care for all...

As I gear up for the end of the season and reflect on the year, I can’t help but feel a surge of gratitude for our amazing MomsRising community of supporters for abortion rights and Reproductive Justice. Your passion for change has been a driving force behind everything we’ve achieved this year and every year . I’m still overjoyed by the way reproductive rights advocates and passionate voters showed up to Ohio polls to protect abortion rights in their state. If Ohioans taught us anything this year it’s that when we show up not only do we show out, we win. Let’s continue to make this dream...

At our October #KeepMarching meeting, we learned the importance of comprehensive reproductive health education for moms, families, and communities. We are very grateful to Angela Cobian, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Director of Coalition Advocacy, and Me! for helping us understand the challenges moms face in accessing reproductive care. We’re even more grateful to every participant who listened, offered their experiences, and asked thoughtful questions. I.

Anti-abortion conservatives would love for all of us to believe that the general public agrees with them - They are 100% wrong. If you believe that abortion care should be available to those that need it, when they need it, trust me, you are not alone. In fact, as noted above, 69% of Americans believe that abortion should be legal within the first trimester and 85% of Americans believe that access to abortion is imperative in dire circumstances. This means that the majority of voters, including those who lean conservative, believe that abortion should be available to all who need it. We know...

Imagine this: You or someone you love just found out that they’re pregnant. Immediately, one wonders, “What are my next steps?” So naturally, you begin to search online for your nearest physician, only to find out that the nearest maternity ward has closed down and you have to travel nearly 50 miles for care. Now what? This is the current reality for many women in communities across the country. We need Congress to step in immediately to ensure that every woman has access to affordable, high-quality and comprehensive reproductive care, including maternity care!

It's been one year since the Supreme Court issued the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v Wade, restricting access to abortion care, and we are still fighting for our rights. Make a contribution towards our movement for reproductive justice so that we can continue to advocate for mothers, parents, and all birthing people who need access to reproductive healthcare.

Once again, conservative groups and anti-abortion politicians are doing their best to sustain power by stripping people of their human right to reproductive and abortion health care. This time in Amarillo, Texas where as it currently stands, Mifepristone -- the medication used to assist the abortion procedure and terminate a pregnancy -- is being attacked and challenged through a lawsuit targeting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by an anti-extremist group[1]. We’ve had enough! We stand with Women’s March and are calling on the U.S. Congress to pledge their support to mothers and...

From Barbara Jordan, the first Black woman to be elected to the Texas State Senate and represent Texas in the U.S. House of Representatives, to a pioneer in the labor rights movement, Emma Tenayuca, who organized two international ladies' garment workers unions and peaceful protests against the police beatings of Mexican migrant workers. Countless women, mothers, activists, lawmakers, musicians (Selena, Beyonce, Janis Joplin – just to name a few!), homemakers, scientists, and artists have, without a doubt, played a pivotal role in advocating...

Why is abortion critical for moms? America’s moms were faced with the unthinkable reality when the U.S. Supreme Court relegated our autonomy to the states, making our ability to access the reproductive health care we needed almost impossible. Everything changed for every woman, every family, and every mother this year. Six in ten people who have abortion are moms and polls show the majority of people in America agree: abortion care should be accessible to all who need it. Being able to choose if we have children, and if so, when and how many children to have, is a fundamental human right...

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade took effect, we’ve been doing everything we can to secure our reproductive rights for every single person, in every single state. Their decision reversed our right at the national level to choose when, and if, we want to have children and threw that power to the states.

This is an emergency. I hope you saw our urgent message and action from late last week. I'm reaching out again because since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, multiple states have already moved forward in their attempts to completely eradicate access to abortion care – going against, not only the majority of people in America which polls show support the right to abortion care, but also against our human right to bodily autonomy and right to choose what we want to do with our lives. This impacts families and moms more than most people realize since 6 in 10 people who have...
