Hundreds of cities across the US will join in a mass protest against abortion bans. More events are added each day. Continue to check your local "Ban Off My Body" for a rally near you.

On Monday, May 2nd, Politico published a leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that explicitly overturns Roe v. Wade. This is an unprecedented leak from the court that, if true, would reverse nearly 50 years of precedent and explicitly end federal constitutional protections for abortion. 26 states could move quickly to ban abortion, meaning millions of people might live without local access to abortion. The people in your community and across the country deserve the power and freedom to make their own personal reproductive health care decisions.

Join Planned Parenthood Federation of America at a virtual Bans Off Our Bodies rally on May 14!

In just the first three months of 2022, more than 500 anti-abortion restrictions

Ten days ago, I fell and broke my arm and strained my right hip/leg muscles enough that I’m using a cane to walk. I’ll have to march in spirit this time.
