In Our Own Voice Responds to the Trump Administration’s Latest Attacks on Abortion

“The Trump administration continuously proves they do not care about our health and safety. On the same day they dropped the EMTALA case, they joined the South Carolina case to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funding for any reproductive health services. These decisions, in addition to Trump’s anti-abortion nominees leading federal health agencies, are laying the groundwork to enact the dangerous policies in Project 2025 that will further restrict lifesaving reproductive health care.

It is not an overstatement to say that this administration’s attacks on our bodily autonomy are a matter of life or death. When Black women are three times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related complications than their white counterparts, attempts to block pregnant people from accessing critical medical services proves that this administration does not care about the lives of Black women, girls and gender-expansive people.

Reproductive Justice advocates have long warned about the dangers of Project 2025, and now we are witnessing it unfold. No matter what this administration throws at us, we are prepared to work with our partners and allied lawmakers until we have the right to make decisions about our bodies. Our lives are on the line.”
