The right to abortion has never been more under threat in the United States. Since Roe v. Wade, extremist anti-abortion politicians have passed more than 1,300 abortion restrictions designed to control people’s bodies, families, and futures. Policymakers at all levels of government must enact proactive legislation to save abortion rights and enable access for everyone.
