Protect abortion access: stockpile the abortion pill!
States are leading the fight to protect abortion access by stockpiling mifepristone, a drug that has been a safe and effective abortion medication and miscarriage treatment for 20 years.
In February, lawmakers in Connecticut cleared the way to safeguard large quantities of the drug, following the lead of Oregon, California, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Massachusetts, and Maryland in securing access to commonly used abortion medications.
Mifepristone is a FDA-approved, overwhelmingly safe medication—even safer than other commonly prescribed low-risk drugs like penicillin and Viagra. But that hasn’t stopped attacks from anti-abortion extremists in states like Idaho, Missouri, and Kansas as they move forward with lawsuits to restrict access to this medical care. And Trump has scrutinized the safety of the pill, despite more than 100 scientific studies proving it to be an incredibly safe and effective option for people seeking abortions.
Add your name to the petition urging governors and state legislatures nationwide to follow the lead of these seven states and take precautions to safeguard reproductive rights.
Why is this important?
The right to access abortion is under attack—and without the Trump administration’s commitment to protecting access to medication abortion, state governments must step in.
By stockpiling mifepristone, states can help ensure that if access is threatened, patients can continue to access this safe and effective medication, which accounts for the majority of all abortions in the United States.
This is a practical and necessary step to protect abortion—and we need other states to follow suit, now. Sign the petition urging all governors to start stockpiling mifepristone.
