Stop the Bans
Politicians in multiple states are passing laws that ban abortion at a point before most people know they're pregnant.
These politicians want the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and let these bans go into effect — ending safe, legal abortion in their states once and for all.
We won’t stand by while they take away our right to control our own bodies.
Alabama just passed a bill to ban abortion entirely—and other states have banned abortion before most people know they’re pregnant. It’s time to fight back.
Mission Statement
More than 100 years ago, Planned Parenthood was founded on this simple idea: Your body is your own. If it is not, we cannot be truly free or equal.
