Featured in this painting are plants/herbs which have been used throughout history as abortifacients, because as long as we have known how, we have been ending unwanted pregnancies. We now live in world where there are safe methods of abortion and preventing access to these services will not stop abortion, it will only stop safe abortion. Free, safe and legal access to reproductive healthcare is a human right for everyone, everywhere.
The Reproductive Justice movement, started by Black women and rooted in Black feminist theory, centers those whose health and rights are most impacted — Black people, people of color, and Indigenous people — in the fight for health care, our values, and our civil rights.
Planned Parenthood is committed to our work with reproductive justice partners who have taught us that reproductive freedom is not only about the ability to decide when and whether to have a child, but also the ability to raise that child in a safe and healthy environment.
We honor and celebrate the people and cultures native to this land. We stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities, who continue to face devastating systemic barriers to access basic human rights, including to health care.
Planned Parenthood strongly opposes the Hyde Amendment. And we support the women of color and our partners who have always been leading the charge to eliminate this unjust policy. Everyone deserves the right to access safe, legal abortion.
