Immediate Threats in Six States

The sweeping scope of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision is now sinking in — for us and for our opponents.Here's how the head of the anti-choice extremist group Operation Rescue put it:

"The time is now right to launch aggressive legal challenges across America to abortion on demand ... We can do more than just put hurdles in front of women seeking abortions — we can put roadblocks in front of them."

They're not wasting any time throwing barriers in the path of women seeking to protect their health and exercise their rights. Will you make a matching gift donation to help fend off serious and immediate abortion ban challenges in six states? Your gift will be matched dollar for dollar

MAKE A MATCHING GIFT DONATION NOW!

In Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri, legislatures are pushing direct abortion bans that would make it all but impossible for women to exercise their reproductive freedom. In North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Texas, intense efforts are underway to force through abortion bans that would take effect as soon as the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

Planned Parenthood is on the ground already in at-risk states — issuing media alerts, preparing legal action, educating pro-choice voters, organizing rallies, generating thousands of e-mails and phone calls. Your immediate matching fund donation of $35, $50, $100 or more can help sustain these and other essential Planned Parenthood efforts. We must respond to the Supreme Court's outrageous ruling.

This is the first of many critical challenges Planned Parenthood must take on in the aftermath of the Bush Supreme Court's decision. A forceful show of strength now in this critical post-decision period is absolutely essential. I urge you to stand with Planned Parenthood.
