| Peter,
16.75 million women of reproductive age are at risk.
Right now, extremist lawmakers are moving to gut billions of dollars in Medicaid funding in the United States—jeopardizing care for 1 in 5 people. Medicaid covers 42% of all births, funds 75% of public family planning services, and provides essential care for communities historically excluded from the health system.
If they succeed, the consequences will be devastating:
🚨 Planned Parenthood and other essential providers could be forced to close.
🚨 Maternal mortality and health disparities will worsen.
🚨 People of color, rural and low-income communities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities will be disproportionately harmed.
Medicaid isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline.
This is a direct attack on sexual and reproductive health care: from birth control and cancer screenings to maternity care and HIV treatment. Defunding providers would strip millions of people of affordable, essential services and devastate reproductive health care access across America.
The stakes are too high to stay silent. Join us now to protect health care for millions.
In solidarity,
Center for Reproductive Rights
