Abortion Access Now coalition

A coalition of pro-abortion advocacy groups announced the formation of a new campaign called "Abortion Access Now" on Monday, pledging to spend $100 million to "advance abortion rights and access across the United States."

The coalition behind the campaign includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Reproductive Freedom for All, formerly known as NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Insisting that "the funding will help build a long-term federal strategy to codify the right to abortion, including lobbying efforts, grassroots organizing, public education, and comprehensive communication strategies to mobilize support and enact change," the coalition describes its goal as to "ensure that everyone has the right to access reproductive health care, free from stigma and barriers."

"We envision a future where abortion, and all sexual and reproductive health care, is not only legal but also accessible, affordable, and free from stigma or fear," the coalition stated. "This campaign is committed to building and leading a broad, inclusive vision for abortion access, ensuring everyone can make fundamental decisions about their health and bodies with dignity and support. Together, we will secure the freedom to control our own bodies and care for ourselves, our families, and our communities."

The organizations argue that abortion restrictions passed at the state level "make pregnancy less safe by putting reproductive health care further out of reach."

"In states where legislatures have banned abortion, clinics are closing, OBGYNs are leaving, and people are left with drastically fewer options to manage or end a pregnancy," the coalition contends. "People are struggling to get lifesaving medical care for miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and other pregnancy complications."
