Here's what to say:

I'm calling about the impact of abortion bans two years after the Dobbs decision.
Maternal deaths rose 56% in Texas in the first full year of its ban. States without bans saw a 21% decrease.
Idaho has lost 35% of its OB-GYNs. 155,000 people crossed state lines for care in 2024 alone.
These bans are killing women and driving out doctors. I'm asking you to support legislation protecting reproductive healthcare access.

56% Increase in maternal deaths in Texas in the first full year of its abortion ban

62.7 million Women and girls living in states with abortion bans

155,000 People who traveled out of state for abortion care in 2024

35% OB-GYNs lost in Idaho in 28 months after its ban took effect

Two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, 62.7 million women and girls live in states that ban abortion. Fourteen states enforce total or near-total bans. The total number of abortions nationally rose 21% from 2020 to 2025 as patients found ways around the bans, but the human cost is measured in deaths, not statistics.

In Texas, maternal deaths rose 56% in the first full year of its ban. States without bans saw maternal mortality decrease by 21% over the same period. Black women in ban states face 60.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, 3.3 times the rate for White women. Idaho lost 35% of its OB-GYNs in 28 months. Residency applications in ban states dropped 10.5%.

In 2024, 155,000 people traveled out of state for care. Telehealth now accounts for 24% of all clinician-provided abortions. Seven states have passed constitutional protections since Dobbs. Contact your state legislators. Support abortion funds through the National Network of Abortion Funds. Back ballot initiatives in states with pending measures. The bans depend on silence.
