Today marks two years since Florida’s near-total abortion ban went into effect, decimating access to abortion and reproductive health care for millions of people, and Floridians are saying enough is enough.
In every corner of Florida, there is a story of someone who made the personal decision to seek abortion care and was told it wasn’t their decision to make. That is unacceptable.
Politicians are never more qualified than patients to make decisions about pregnancy, parenting, and healthcare. Floridians have had enough: we must end the near-total abortion ban and continue supporting the people and organizations ensuring patients can get the care they need.
To split a donation across all six abortion funds supporting Floridians, click here.
When a patient seeks abortion care, especially when facing as many barriers as a Floridan often does, there’s a broad, often anonymous network of caretakers making it possible, and that work will always be worth it.
We’re in this together and the fight for the Florida we deserve is only getting stronger.
