The latest ruling from the Iowa Supreme Court makes it more important than ever for reproductive freedom advocates to act. Here are five ways you can contribute to the fight for reproductive rights in Iowa.
1. Help elect reproductive freedom champions to the state house
The path forward to stop the attacks on vital health care is at the ballot box. There, we can elect candidates to the state house who will vote to protect bodily autonomy and rebuild reproductive health care in Iowa. We need to hold our elected officials accountable for every vote they take that erodes our reproductive freedom and access to care. You can help us mobilize Iowans to vote for reproductive freedom champions by volunteering with phone banks or door knocking. Whether you donate your time or funds, we need your support to fuel our election work.
2. Share your story
Personal stories are powerful tools for change. Sharing your experience with reproductive health care can humanize the issue and highlight the real-world impact of restrictive abortion laws. Your voice can help educate others, bust stigma, and advocate for the critical health care that Planned Parenthood provides to your community members.
3. Donate
Ongoing support for the critical work of Planned Parenthood North Central States and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Iowa is indispensable in the fight for reproductive freedom.
