Grateful for the chance to talk about abortion later in pregnancy and why it’s so important to protect (and expand!) access. At what point in a pregnancy is the government better positioned to make decisions about your health than YOU are?

Lilith Fund $1M
Baltimore Abortion Fund $1M
Abortion Fund of Ohio $1.45M
New York Abortion Access Fund $1.7M
DC Abortion Fund $2M+

Cracking down on campus protestors to appease MAGA Republicans in Congress is wrong and sets an incredibly dangerous precedent for our city.

“I’m glad that he’s figured out abortion is a winning issue. It’s sad that it took this long,” Bracey Sherman said. “Because I care about making sure people who need abortions get them, all I can say is, welcome to the party, get to fucking work.”

“Children and families are being torn apart by weapons that are manufactured and paid for by the U.S. gov’t...that obligates us to speak out very explicitly for a free Palestine.” —Reprocare Healthline. Abortion funds should not be silenced— read more in @prism: bit.ly/3y16Qiu
