Reproductive Rights Are Human Rights
In 1973 the landmark decision made by The US Supreme Court made it clear that U.S. citizens have the right to autonomously decide to reproduce and have reproductive health. We believe this includes an individual's right to plan a family, terminate a pregnancy, use contraceptives, learn about sex education in public schools, and gain access to reproductive health services free of harassment and fear of repercussion.
Over a decade later we are still fighting this fight as lawmakers and extremist groups continue to try to take away these fundamental rights. Women must have control over their own bodies, and we must continue to fight prohibitive legislation and extremists to allow all woman to keep their autonomy.
