A federal court just granted anti-abortion politicians' request for a severe nationwide restriction on mifepristone, a medication that patients have safely used for abortion and miscarriage care for over 25 years.

The court’s order forces people in all 50 states to pick up this medication in person instead of filling their prescription by mail or at a pharmacy. While the Supreme Court put this decision on hold for one week, until May 11, unless it tosses out this suit entirely it threatens to upend how people get abortion and miscarriage care – even in states where abortion is protected. Patients may have to travel, sometimes hundreds of miles, to a health center just to get a pill they can take safely at home.

This unnecessary and burdensome travel could mean that countless people – especially those who live in rural areas, on low incomes, with disabilities, or who are facing intimate partner violence – lose access to this safe, effective medication altogether.

With this ruling, anti-abortion politicians are one step closer to their goal of ending all abortion access nationwide. Our ability to get the health care we need shouldn't be in question. Tell Congress to protect the right to abortion, including medication abortion, and guarantee meaningful access to abortion for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live.

Subject Federal Action on Abortion Access

As your constituent, I ask you to do everything in your power to ensure everyone has meaningful access to abortion care nationwide. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, America has been facing a reproductive health crisis. Abortion is banned or severely restricted in more than a dozen states, with devastating consequences. Not satisfied with that, anti-abortion politicians have launched a multi-front attack on medication abortion – and a federal court just agreed to make it harder for people everywhere in the country to get that care, even as the Trump administration has been laying the groundwork for new nationwide restrictions through a sham FDA review. We cannot fix this crisis without a federal right to abortion.

Even under Roe v. Wade, people faced serious barriers to accessing abortion care due to cost, distance, arbitrary gestational limits, and immigration status. And many of those barriers still exist today in states where abortion remains legal.

Message Body

That’s why Congress must act to ensure everyone has access to abortion nationwide. Please commit to restoring a federal right to abortion and ensuring true access for all.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]
