The U.S. needs bold federal policy solutions to ensure that people can get abortion care and have the freedom to control their bodies, lives and futures.
Morgan Hopkins, president of All* Above All, at a rally outside the U.S. Supreme Court on April 14, 2023.
Whether it was racing against time to pull together funds to pay for care, figuring out how to cover travel costs, or dealing with the fact that their insurance did not cover their care, I remember those calls as if they were yesterday. As an uninsured college student working multiple jobs who could not afford my own reproductive healthcare, I could—and still can—relate to their struggles.. We already see devastating consequences in its aftermath.
We need a new vision for abortion care in this country—to expand our belief about what is possible. I have joined listening sessions with dozens of advocates and organizations across the country that inspired an action plan for abortion justice. This collaborative vision reimagines abortion care with compassion, instead of shame or judgment. It puts people’s and family’s health, safety and real life needs first by ensuring they can decide what is best for their circumstances.
All of us, whether we are Black, white or Brown, want people to be healthy, live with dignity, and have a chance to thrive. When all of us can make our own decisions about pregnancy, including abortion care, we create more economic security and healthier communities.
