Sample messages to share why you support abortion access:

• I’m writing in support of the resolution to declare Palm Springs a safe city for reproductive freedom and access to abortion. We are currently facing the gravest threat to abortion access and rights in decades, and it’s more important than ever to stand against attempts to restrict access to safe and legal abortion throughout the country. Abortion bans and restrictive laws disproportionately impact populations that already face barriers to accessing care — people of color, people with low incomes, immigrants, and young people. Please pass this resolution and support reproductive rights for all.
   
• My name is ____________ and I’m writing in support of the city’s resolution to declare Palm Springs a safe city for Reproductive Freedom and access to abortion. I firmly believe that all people should have the right to decide if and when to start a family. It’s vital that people everywhere, including in Palm Springs have access to the resources they need to plan their family. Please support this resolution.
• All people should be able to decide if and when to start a family. Control over our reproductive decisions is a fundamental human right. The attacks we’re currently witnessing against access to safe and legal abortion are dengerous and will leave those who already face barriers to care without options. I urge you to pass this resolution and to support reproductive rights and access.
• Declaring Palm Springs a safe city for Reproductive Freedom and access to abortion is an important step in ensuring Palm Springs residents are able to access the high quality, safe and legal reproductive health care that everyone deserves. It is essential that we protect these rights and stand against any attempts to restrict access to safe and legal abortion. Please pass this resolution and support reproductive rights.
• My name is ____________ and I urge you to pass the resolution declaring Palm Springs a safe city for Reproductive Freedom and access to abortion. At a time when reproductive health care and access to abortion are under constant attack —  including the recent reversal of Roe v. Wade, and hundreds of abortion restrictions and bans introduced this year alone — it is more important than ever that we act to ensure all people have the basic human right to control their own reproductive decisions. Please support this resolution.
