We recently received a long-awaited decision from #SCOTUS in our case challenging Louisiana's abortion clinic shutdown law.
While we are thrilled that #SCOTUS ruled in our favor and struck down the law, there is still so much more work to do to protect abortion access.
Our President and CEO, Nancy Northup explains what comes next in the fight to protect abortion access in the United States in her op-ed for the @washingtonpost:
#MyRightMyDecision #ActForWomen washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
"This insidious campaign against abortion access hurts communities of color, young people, rural communities and people living in poverty the most."
"These restrictions mean that bc there are fewer clinics & patients may have to travel considerable distances to reach them, a person’s ability to access abortion care often depends on where they happen to live, how much money they have & whether they can take time off work."
"This is just wrong. A right is not a right if you can’t exercise it. It’s time to end this grinding, wasteful state of uncertainty. The Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA) is the answer."
