For many people, the decision of when and if to become a parent is one of the biggest choices they make. For decades, many on the far-right have sought to demonize anyone who seeks an abortion, defund providers who perform this vital, legal health care service,and criticize elected officials who support someone’s ability to make the decisions that are right for them and their families. With the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade,extremist politicians have become even more emboldened to block access to basic reproductive health care.
