For those who observe it, Mother’s Day can be a wonderful way to celebrate and uplift parents, parental figures, caregivers, and the many diverse, loving family structures that raise and support children. This year, we invite you to take your conversations further and consider how reproductive justice frameworks and reproductive freedom help all people — including parents and families — thrive. […]
Reproductive Rights
On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court of the United States released a ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Today, abortion is banned in Texas except under very limited exceptions — and to make things worse, anti-abortion extremists are going after mifepristone, one of the pills used in medication abortion.
While there is much uncertainty about our reproductive rights in post-Roe America, there is one thing we do know: Our fight to make abortion permanently legal, safe, and accessible for everyone cannot and will not stop.
Texas Freedom Network supports efforts to ensure all Texans have access to abortion and other reproductive health care services. That access requires adequate state funding and the broad availability of birth control, especially for underpaid Texans.
