Political interference and financial barriers should NEVER stand in the way of access to birth control.

The Center for Reproductive Right’s Senior Director of Advocacy and Policy, Daria Neal, spoke last week about the Trump administration’s continued attacks on birth control, including letting millions of dollars of contraceptives go to waste in a warehouse in Belgium.

Those products could’ve helped women and girls in Africa plot their own future, but instead taxpayer dollars are being spent to let it rot.

We have been demanding answers about why these products were allowed to go to waste. Join us in calling on the administration to act and NOT let the remaining medicine expire: https://bit.ly/4zhGB1u

New research from University of Michigan shows that state abortion bans are causing women to pay more for the health insurance they already have, regardless of whether they’re seeking abortion care. The burden is even greater for Black and Hispanic women. The bottom line: abortion bans come with a price tag, and women and families are paying it.

New preliminary research from the University of Michigan shows women living in states with post-Dobbs abortion bans may be more likely to shoulder costs for employer-sponsored health insurance premiums, with federal data reflecting a 5.4% increase in annual premium expenditures for those women after...

Americans want access to abortion, and the Trump administration knows it. Last week's Washington Sun report all but confirmed it. Now, this week, we're seeing the FDA’s “re-review” of the abortion pill mifepristone will also conveniently not be finished until after the election. It’s almost like anti-abortion policymakers are trying to avoid accountability from the millions of Americans for whom abortion restrictions would be devastating...

Here are the facts: hundreds of studies have proven that mifepristone is safe, over 7.5 million people in the United States have safely used mifepristone, and 99% of people who have a medication abortion experience no serious complications.

This re-review is a total sham, based purely on pressure from anti-abortion extremists.

That’s why we’ve been asking for more information about what sources the FDA is using in its “re-review” and why we will continue to push for answers. We need to be SURE they are not using data or studies with an obvious anti-abortion bias.

Join us in sounding the alarm on their misinformation and cruel anti-abortion agenda. Together, we can hold anti-abortion extremists accountable. https://bit.ly/3SY784n

Search Yelp for a crisis pregnancy center, and you may see a notice that the facility does not provide abortion. Texas is now suing Yelp over that notice.

In a new op-ed, Center for Reproductive Rights' Jacob Sims explains what’s at stake—and why this case raises a bigger question about whether states can punish platforms for providing consumers with information they don’t like.

Search Yelp for "pregnancy care" and you may encounter a crisis pregnancy center (CPC)—an organization that may advertise as a full-service clinic but does not provide abortions or referrals to abortion providers. Yelp labels these listings accordingly. Now, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is we...

Strict abortion bans delay care, increase financial and logistical hardships, and put deeply personal medical decisions in the hands of politicians. Our lawsuit challenging Oklahoma’s abortion bans seeks to address the harm these restrictions cause. At stake is whether pregnant people can access evidence-based care without being forced to travel across state lines or endure government interference in private medical decisions.

Every person deserves the freedom to make their own pregnancy and healthcare decisions—and that’s exactly why we’re fighting. Are you with us? 👉 https://bit.ly/47Ftr2y

📢 Abortion is basic, essential healthcare. And it should be covered for everyone enrolled in federal health programs, no matter their income or where they live.

You can help make that coverage possible. Urge your lawmakers to pass the EACH Act and ensure everyone can access the care they need: https://bit.ly/4hn2aYC

The cruelty must stop.

It is very clear that ICE detention centers are not medically equipped to care for pregnant women, especially those with high-risk pregnancies or pregnancy complications. We have read too many reports of women shackled, given improper medical treatment, and ignored while bleeding or screaming for help in ICE custody.

ICE is only supposed to detain pregnant people under extreme circumstances. Yet, as this bombshell report from the The Guardian shows, ICE "has been increasingly detaining pregnant people since Donald Trump took office in January 2025." There is no transparency as to why all these women are being detained and, to make matters worse, the Department of Homeland Security appears to have stopped keeping track of data on miscarriages in ICE custody.

It is only through continued vigilance that we can get a picture of what is really going on—that’s why we must continue calling on Congress to bear witness to these atrocities and hold DHS accountable.

Period.

The Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding from going to abortion care in most instances, has a legacy of discrimination and cruelty. In creating it, anti-rights politicians paved the way for more extremists to dictate which people were worthy of essential healthcare and which weren’t.

Now, they’re using that same playbook to go after gender-affirming care. Read our analysis of how politicians are using copycat tactics from Hyde to try to place funding restrictions on gender-affirming care: https://bit.ly/4iXdmwc

The anti-rights movement expands its weaponization of U.S. federal funding to attack gender-affirming care.

50 years ago, Congress first passed the Hyde Amendment, barring federal funding (like Medicaid) from going to abortion care in almost all instances.

As we looked through headlines from 50 years of Hyde, the stories remained the same: Healthcare out of reach for people who need it. Useless cruelty. The government viciously deciding who they believe is worthy or not worthy of access. No compassion.

We should all want to live in a world where your economic status doesn’t prevent you from receiving the healthcare you need or want.

Today, Hyde still denies coverage to millions, including military families, federal employees, and Indigenous people who receive care through the Indian Health Service.

This policy is a scourge, and it MUST be remedied.

Join the Center for Reproductive Rights in pushing to end Hyde once and for all. With just two clicks, you can urge Congress to pass the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act: https://bit.ly/4hn2aYC
