Draw the Line Against Attacks on Reproductive Rights
Texas is facing a health crisis right now. When a clearly unconstitutional law took effect last week, more than a dozen clinics in the state were forced to stop providing abortion services. One-third of Texas women are left without essential health care.
And it gets worse. The same law severely restricts the use of medication abortion, a safe and effective method to end an early pregnancy, and threatens health care providers with harsh and unnecessary regulations.
Extremist politicians claim that this law is for the "health and safety" of Texas women, but the truth is it's designed with a very different goal in mind: to eliminate abortion access entirely.
Texas isn't the only battleground in the ongoing fight for reproductive rights. In Oklahoma, North Carolina, Arkansas, and beyond, anti-choice legislators are working overtime to deny women essential health care. This is a national problem -- millions of women don't have access to the full range of reproductive health care simply because of where they live.
But we can - and must - stand up to these attacks on our rights, and the rights of our neighbors across the country. The Center is leading the charge to call on Congress to stop the assault. Join us by signing the Bill of Reproductive Rights today.
We the people of the United States hereby assert the following as fundamental human rights that no government may deny, and that our governments at every level must guarantee and safeguard for all.
One: The right to make our own decisions about our reproductive health and future, free from intrusion or coercion by any government, group, or individual.
Two: The right to a full range of safe, affordable, and readily accessible reproductive health care including pregnancy care, preventive services, contraception, abortion, and fertility treatment - and accurate information about all of the above.
Three: The right to be free from discrimination in access to reproductive health care or on the basis of our reproductive decisions.
