It’s not just about abortion anymore, and the Supreme Court isn’t the focal point. Obstacles to women’s reproductive health choices are surfacing in pharmacies, state legislatures, city councils and even medical schools.

On this edition, from Albuquerque to Portland to New York City, focusing locally is a strategy that’s gaining popularity amongst abortion opponents, as local institutions create restrictions that prevent women from exercising their choices, even with the law on their side.

Special thanks to The Media Consortium; their grant from the Quixote Foundation allowed us to participate with ten media outlets in the Reproductive Justice Pilot Project. Thanks also the Association of Alternative News media, Bitch Magazine, and the Santa Fe Reporter.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We must raise $50,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
