For decades, Americans have been fighting for sexual and reproductive rights. But what does our fight for sexual and reproductive rights mean?

Politicians who oppose s3ggsual and reproductive rights have a clear goal: to control our bodies. YOU are the only person who should make decisions about you, your life, and your future.

The movement for sexual and reproductive rights includes:

  • Abortion rights
  • Access to birth control
  • LGBTQ+ rights
  • Sex education
  • And more.

Our fight gets bigger every day.

Politicians want to strip our basic freedoms. Just last year, the U.S. Supreme Court took away the constitutional right to abortion, letting lawmakers interfere in our personal medical decisions.

And even more of our rights are on the line. Politicians who oppose sexual and reproductive rights have a clear goal: to control your bodies, for existing, for having sex and for living our lives. They want to dictate the education you're taught, and the health care you can get.

The fight for sexual and reproductive rights is about all of us  — because our movement believes that you (yes YOU) are the only person who should make decisions about you, your life, and your future.

Our bodies, our decisions. Thank you for fighting with us!
