“Decades of medically unnecessary restrictions have taken their toll in Alabama. It is not unusual for patients to travel up to 8 hours to reach us because so many other providers have been forced to close.
Abortion is healthcare. The Women’s Health Protection Act would bring needed federal protections for my patients and safeguard their rights.”
Dr. Yashica Robinson, Medical Director, Alabama Women’s Center for Reproductive Alternatives
“Forty-seven years ago, the Supreme Court recognized in Roe that the right of personal liberty guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment includes the decision by a woman to end her pregnancy. As the Court would later explain, it is the promise of the Constitution that there is a realm of personal liberty that the government may not enter.
[WHPA is] a meaningful, concrete step to ensuring that Roe is real for all women.”
Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights
