About:
Hosted by Deputy Director Amber Duke and featuring poet Tytianna Wells, Staff Attorney Heather Gatnarek, Policy Strategist Jackie McGranahan, and other advocates.
The Supreme Court marked the beginning of a new and dangerous era for reproductive freedom when they allowed a Texas law effectively banning all abortion care to take effect, and when they agreed to hear arguments in an upcoming Mississippi case in which the state has explicitly asked the court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
As we navigate this new territory, your continued support will be as crucial as ever.
The Reproductive Freedom Project defends access to abortion care and reduces racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. All Kentuckians deserve the legal rights and equitable access to resources to make the best decisions for themselves, whether that means seeking abortion care or growing their family. We hope to join you in person next year to celebrate.
