Support Reproductive Rights: Where To Donate After the Reversal of Roe v. Wade
Published June 28, 2022
Last Updated: June 29, 2022
The United States has changed its laws regarding reproductive health – overturning decades of rights and freedoms over access to abortions. Learn how you and your people can take action by supporting vetted nonprofits who defend reproductive health choices and are in urgent need after the Supreme Court ruling.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that provided the constitutional right to abortion. This reversal means U.S. states now have the right to determine their own reproductive healthcare laws – and as many as half of the states will move rapidly to prohibit or severely restrict access to abortion services.
Laws that limit bodily autonomy and prevent pregnant people from having the right to make their own choices set a dangerous precedent that could lead to the erosion of many other human rights. They also place millions of people – women, transgender and non-binary individuals – at risk and disproportionately affect economically marginalized groups.
Reverberations from this decision are being felt around the world, leaving many wanting to take action. Here’s how your company and your people can get started:
