"Abortion cannot just be theoretically legal, it has to be literally accessible."
-- John Oliver, Last Week Tonight, HBO, February 21, 2016

Dear Unsupported global dynamic element: index=1, parameter=null,

John Oliver really hit the nail on the head in his latest segment on medically unnecessary abortion restrictions in the United States.

We couldn't agree more. And if you agree, we need your support more than ever.

Too many politicians are telling doctors how to do their jobs and, in some cases, are forcing doctors to lie to their patients.

Shame. On. Them.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: It's time for politicians to exit the exam room.

Politicians have no business interfering in the relationship between a woman and the doctor she trusts. That's why we just released the second edition of Bad Medicine: How a Political Agenda is Undermining Women's Health Care.

Unsupported global dynamic element: index=1, parameter=null, there could not be more at stake for women's health.

We need every one of our friends, activists and donors to chip in $5, $50 or even $500 to build up our $25,000 Women's Defense Fund today. Can we count on your support?

Make no mistake: There's an outbreak of "bad medicine" laws severely undermining women's access to abortion care.

Last year, state lawmakers passed 57 abortion restrictions, bringing the total number passed in a five-year period to a staggering 288. 

This must change, and it's time for all of us to rally together and make our voices heard.

Please chip in $5, $50 or even $500 to build up our $25,000 Women's Defense Fund today.

Your support will help the National Partnership continue fighting back against dangerous abortion restrictions, like the Texas law being challenged next week before the U.S. Supreme Court ... the outcome of which could redefine abortion rights law for a generation.

We need your support now more than ever - and every single dollar will be put to good use right away.

Thank you!

Ali Kincaid Bergthold
Vice President
