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.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 5 Days to raise $38,000
Truthout is one of only a few platforms for justice-oriented, grassroots journalism. Today, we face an existential threat.
Due to Google’s launch of AI search, we’ve seen a drastic plunge in our site traffic and, as a result, our revenue. We lost 15 percent of our readership overnight. This was a readership we painstakingly built over decades, and it vanished because Google chose corporate greed over a healthy democracy.
We are fundraising right now to meet our basic operating expenses. If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Anything you can do makes a difference — we appreciate your support.
