Common Ills, With the Supreme Court’s decision to reverse Roe v. Wade, the war against women will escalate. The media has been focused on states with trigger laws that will immediately ban abortion. But there is another deadly threat we cannot ignore. Every time anti-abortion forces win a battle, the extremists in their ranks are emboldened and violence against doctors, staff, and patients at abortion clinics increases. Please make a tax-deductible emergency clinic protection Since the leaked opinion in early May, clinics providing abortion care have seen an increase in violence and threats. Today, they are in a state of emergency! Heavily armed protesters... death threats... stalking... bomb threats... clinic invasions... With increasing intensity, this is the reality that targeted abortion providers are now facing. For more than three decades, the Feminist Majority Foundation’s National Clinic Access Project has led efforts nationwide to reduce anti-abortion violence, keep clinics open, bring violent anti-abortion extremists to justice, and ensure the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE) is vigorously enforced. Today, we’re preparing for extremists violence on a scale we’ve never seen. And women — especially poor women and women of color — are paying a horrendous price because of the cruel, terrorizing tactics of anti-abortion extremists and the politicians who embolden them. Make no mistake. Violence is a deliberate strategy employed by extremists who will increase their campaign to intimidate and ultimately ban abortion nationwide. This is now the frontline of our fight. Without protecting the security of abortion providers, as well as the ability of clinics to provide legal abortions and birth control, reproductive health care options are reduced. Your tax-deductible support will save lives. Please give what you can right away, Feminist Majority Foundation P.S. Your emergency clinic protection contribution today will protect clinics on the ground, and support efforts in historical political and legislative battles to save lives now Roe v Wade is now overturned. |
