Remarks by Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood Action Fund president and CEO, at Democratic National Convention

Last summer, a Planned Parenthood patient in Georgia realized she was pregnant and didn’t want to be.

But Georgia bans abortion after 6-weeks.

So she drove to South Carolina but arrived the day their 6-week ban went into effect.

She went to Florida — but arrived too late under their ban.

She had to fly to California to get an abortion.

Each time she had to save money, miss work, find childcare.

We cannot call ourselves a free nation when women are not free. More than one in three women, and nearly half of all Black women, live in ban states.

Donald Trump wants women to be less free and pregnancy to be more dangerous.

In no way are Trump and Vance more qualified than doctors and women to make these decisions. We decide!

We trust women. We trust doctors. The Planned Parenthood Action Fund trusts Kamala Harris.

Our future’s on the ballot.

Our bodies are on the ballot.

We will decide this election.
