Arkansas wants men to ok abortions [View all]

Center for Reproductive Rights

From email requesting donation (I included link f/ donation)


Arkansas recently passed a new law that would require a woman to notify the man who impregnated her before obtaining an abortion—even in cases of abuse or sexual assault.

It’s one of multiple new and cruel measures Arkansas politicians have devised to rob women of their right to safe and legal abortion this year—and we filed a lawsuit to fight back.

We were in court this week challenging Arkansas’ notification requirement and other restrictions that limit a woman’s right to an abortion. Chip in $25 today to help fund our lawsuit and fight this unconstitutional law.

From essentially banning abortion in the second trimester to violating women's privacy, these measures represent a new low.

The Supreme Court made clear one year ago in the Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt decision that politicians can’t stand between women and their constitutional rights. We will continue to use the full force of the law to ensure these rights are protected and respected for all women.

Are you with us? Chip in now to help fund our legal work and ensure that all women are able to access safe abortion care.
Thank you,

Nancy Northup
President & CEO
