Urge Your Representative to Cosponsor and Support the Abortion Justice Act!
The right to abortion, and reproductive freedom generally, must be strongly safeguarded from all infringement in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health decision that overturned Roe v. Wade and decimated federal abortion protections. As humanists, we strongly believe that all individuals must have unfettered access to safe abortions and the ability to engage in healthy family planning, regardless of economic status, immigration status, or geography.
The progressive Abortion Justice Act (H.R. 4303), sponsored by Rep. Ayanna Pressley (MA-7), does just that. Going further than just codifying Roe v. Wade’s former federal protections, this legislation would provide funds to help increase abortion access or to support individuals who need access to abortion care, help to increase the number of abortion providers across the nation, require insurance coverage to cover abortion care, ensure immigrant families can safely receive care, and makes access to abortion a fundamental legal right. You can read the bill here, and a summary here.
Your representative should be committed to breaking barriers and freeing abortion access for all. Access to abortion is a fundamental right that allows individuals to maintain control of their own bodies, health, economic and social outcomes, and futures.
