Abortion Providers, who daily must deal with harassment
The women who decide what course of action they take without succumbing to the will of others.
"We were not championing abortion. We were championing the principle that women—not the government—were the appropriate ones to make decisions about reproduction. Our focus was that women should have the right to decide whether to continue a pregnancy and keep the child, whether to continue a pregnancy even if she planned to put the child up for adoption, or whether to terminate a pregnancy. I thought of abortion as the hub of a wheel and that women could not make key decisions about the "spoke" issues: family size, education, employment, health concerns, and much more without the ability to make reproductive decisions." Sarah Weddington, the lawyer who fought for Roe
And of course, the folks who donate to our fund!
