After the news broke Monday night, many of us were left feeling devastated and shocked. Today, it is time to get to work. Here’s what YOU can do to protect abortion access.

These are fucked up times, but one thing is abundantly clear––giving up now isn’t an option. Women of America, on this dark day in our nation’s history, we invite you to join us in our seething rage by putting it towards action.

Rather than wallowing in panic and despair, let’s commit ourselves to understanding what is happening and, most importantly, what we can do about it.

“Just because we now have a Democratic president doesn’t mean that we can rest on our laurels.”

A is For mourns the loss of our dear friend, Rebecca Luker. For us, she was a model of courage. In all we do, we’ll seek to honor her spirit of defiance, dignity, and refusal to be ashamed or afraid.

On Thursday, the United States joined Egypt, Indonesia, Brazil, Hungary and Uganda to co-sponsor the Geneva Consensus Declaration. The non-binding declaration is virulently anti-choice sentiment wrapped in pro-family camouflage.

She changed this country for women. For EVERYONE. Because women's rights are HUMAN RIGHTS. Because of her, I realized my own potential as a professional, a homeowner, a person with credit, with assets, with independence. My thanks to this woman are inexpressible. — Martha Plimpton

On August 16th, our own Martha Plimpton received the inaugural ChangemakeHER award from MamaFilm as part of their virtual rePRO Film Festival.

Today, the Supreme Court blocked a Louisiana law from going into effect that would have forced the closure of all but one abortion clinic in the state. The 5-4 decision in June Medical Services v. Russo, written by Justice Stephen Breyer, struck down a Louisiana TRAP law that forced abortion providers in the state to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, a medically unnecessary provision that is nearly identical to a Texas law that the Court declared unconstitutional just four years ago.

Safe abortion isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. It always has been––through economic crises, natural disasters, and wars––the need for access to safe abortion remains.

Today the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Gee. The case rests on a 2014 Louisiana law that requires abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital. Sound familiar? That’s because it is essentially an identical law to the one the Court struck down in 2016. What a difference four years makes.

Roe limps along, still alive but under escalating attacks from both state and federal legislators.

You have been dreading this all year; coming up with strategies, attack plans, evasive maneuvers. But now you’re cornered. There’s no way out.

Whether it’s a full-out repeal like Graham-Cassidy or a Grover Norquist-style bathtub murder by way of withholding CSR payments, any harm to the ACA would disproportionately harm women.
