Statement of Progress Florida Reproductive Freedom Program Director Amy Weintraub, on Gov. Ron DeSantis signing a near-total abortion ban
“Floridians from across the political spectrum, and all walks of life, have expressed in every way possible fierce opposition to having the right to control our own bodies taken away. But Gov. DeSantis and his allies have ignored public opinion and insist on inserting themselves into the exam room and the personal decisions a pregnant person should have the freedom to make themselves.

Stop barriers to essential abortion medication
If you believe every Floridian should be able to access respectful, quality, and affordable reproductive health care, then this simple action in support of medication abortion is for you. Just weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lifted outdated restrictions on medication abortion, allowing pharmacies to dispense these necessary medications, and the Justice Department ruled that the postal service is allowed to deliver them nationwide.
