Attacking abortion access won’t make abortion disappear, but it will make the procedure unsafe, put women’s lives at risk, and cause extreme health disparities.

Contact your federal and state legislators! 20-week abortion bans and Heartbeat bans often appear at the federal level, but legislation surrounding admitting privileges and TRAP laws are state-based. To contact Congress, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or write a letter.
