Taking Action for Reproductive Freedom: Why It Matters and What You Can Do
Americans are increasingly anxious and fearful as sweeping abortion bans take hold across many states, threatening the health and rights of millions. Abortion is not only essential healthcare—it has broad public support. Yet 28 million women of reproductive age now face growing barriers to care, putting lives and autonomy at risk. These bans are more than policies; they cause real harm, with stories of suffering already unfolding across the country. Despite the challenges, health centers remain committed to providing critical sexual and reproductive care—from birth control to cancer screenings to, where allowed, abortion services. It's time to listen, take action, and keep politicians out of personal health decisions.
Reproductive freedom is more than a political issue—it’s a fundamental human right that impacts health, equality, and the ability to make decisions about one’s own body. Yet, across the globe and even in many parts of the United States, reproductive rights are under attack. From restrictive laws to misinformation campaigns, the fight for reproductive freedom demands our collective attention and action. Now is the time to rise in defense of these rights, ensuring that everyone has access to safe, legal, and affordable reproductive healthcare. The question is not whether we can make a difference, but how.

What is the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) ?
The Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) has been introduced into Congress and will protect a woman's health, ability to make her own decisions, and constitutional rights.
Despite its popularity among most Americans, the Women's Health Protection Act passed in 2021 in the House of Representatives under Democratic Nancy Pelosi's leadership but failed to advance in the Senate due to a Republican blockade.
