Heidi Overton, Trump’s new pick to lead the FDA, has made her anti-abortion extremism clear, over and over again.

She praised the Supreme Court’s decision to end our constitutional right to abortion. She falsely called abortion pills "dangerous to women,” despite decade of strong evidence proving they are safe and effective. She has said there was more work to do after dismantling Roe v. Wade. You can see in her own words just how extreme and punitive her position is when it comes to YOUR reproductive rights.

If she were confirmed as FDA commissioner, she would control the agency that regulates abortion pills for the entire country—in every state, regardless of local law. This is extremely dangerous on its own. But if you consider Overton’s nomination in light of the recent confirmation of Todd Blanche as Attorney General, who said in leaked audio that the administration was working to gut abortion access in EVERY state, this should be a MAJOR wake-up call. There's nothing "radical" about having bodily autonomy.

The time to get loud is RIGHT NOW. Take action and tell your senators to VOTE NO on Heidi Overton: https://bit.ly/45zoY0x

👏👏👏 to John Oliver for his Last Week Tonight with John Oliver episode about fetal personhood, the idea that fetuses, embryos, or fertilized eggs should be granted the same legal rights and protections as people. He cut through the anti-abortion propaganda and touched on how it affects abortion access, miscarriage treatment, and IVF. If you only take away one thing from his segment, let it be this: pregnant people should be treated with dignity and their health should be valued!

ICYMI: There was a big win for abortion rights last week in federal court!

U.S. District court of Idaho Judge B. Lynn Winmill said the state’s near total ban violated the U.S. Constitution, and ruled that the state cannot prosecute providers when abortion care is necessary to protect a pregnant person from "profound and lasting harm," including to prevent self-harm. He wrote that his decision is meant to “limit of the state’s power to make a woman suffer.”

He also said providers should treat mental illness like other conditions, writing, “it is an affront to human dignity to bar pregnant women from receiving life-saving care on the basis that the threat comes from a mental health condition rather than a physical health condition.”

Cases like this are a powerful reminder of how urgent and vital the fight for reproductive rights is. Thankfully, abortion providers remain dedicated to their patients and are pushing back against these kinds of cruel bans so that they can provide people with life-saving care they need.

Meet our client Dr. William Richardson! He has been practicing for more than 30 years and was recently a plaintiff in our case, Isaacson v. Arizona, which we won earlier this year. That win struck down several onerous anti-abortion restrictions, including laws forcing patients to receive biased and inaccurate information or to wait at least 24 hours after their first appointment to get care.

Sadly, restrictions like this still exist across the country. But rest assured, here at the Center for Reproductive Rights, we’re dedicated to ensuring care remains accessible, without barriers and abortion providers like Dr. Richardson are continuing to work tirelessly to protect their patients and their communities!

When we talk about the threat of a national abortion ban, THIS is what we are talking about. This isn't some petty political debate; these women were real people with real lives. They left behind real families with real trauma that will never, ever leave them.

Each and every single one of these women's deaths was preventable with basic, standard abortion care. The kind that doctors have been safely providing for decades—until a small group of anti-abortion radicals chose to politicize this critical healthcare for their own gain and weaponize our government to take that right away from us all.

You should know their names.
🕊️ Amber Nicole Thurman,
🕊️ Nevaeh Crain.
🕊️ Tierra Walker.
🕊️ Taysha Wilkinson-Sobieski.
🕊️ Porsha Ngumezi.
🕊️ Josseli Barnica.
🕊️ Ciji Graham.
🕊️ Candi Miller.
🕊️ Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick.

And never forget: these are just the names and the stories we know, from a small handful of states that have voluntarily shared the data from just a couple of years. The real death toll is likely higher, and growing every day that abortion bans are allowed to remain in place. We will NEVER stop fighting to end these cruel, dangerous laws and to win justice for every life needlessly taken.
