Reproductive and Family Freedom

We champion reproductive rights and family freedom, ensuring that every individual has access to comprehensive reproductive care, including abortion, and the ability to make informed decisions about their health and their families’ futures.

We’re promoting strategies to ensure freedom in reproductive health care.

Our Reproductive Freedom Taskforce, a collaboration among abortion providers, medical professionals, and elected officials, continues to grow.

Too often, the reproductive rights debate is warped by politics and shaped by opponents of reproductive freedom. The Taskforce brings the conversation back to health care. Taskforce members move and reframe the debate, and centering abortion care as a critical piece of comprehensive health care access.

IMPACT AT A GLANCE

1,800+

print and online news stories generated educating the public on reproductive health care issues.

6,000+

physicians across the country came together to share why the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act is instrumental for protecting emergency abortion care in a post-Roe America.

12,200+

physicians mobilized nationwide to drive civic engagement on reproductive health care issues.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Reproductive Freedom Ballot Initiatives in States

Without the federal right to abortion that had been guaranteed under Roe v. Wade, state efforts to protect access are more important than ever.

We’ve helped pass ballot initiatives to enshrine the right to reproductive freedom in state constitutions in Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Missouri, Montana, and Nevada. We’re proud to have been a part of these efforts by amplifying the voices of trusted physicians in earned media, voter publications, open letters, op-eds, and physician endorsements.

Advocating for Families

We know that health is shaped by more than just medical care — policies like paid family and medical leave are important for families to make decisions about their futures.

We’re putting physicians out front as advocates for paid family and medical leave reform, helping create conditions for the passage of such programs in Minnesota, Maryland, and more.
