We are not here to advocate abortion. We do not ask this Court to rule that abortion is good or desirable in any particular situation. We are here to advocate that the decision as to whether or not a particular woman will continue to carry or will terminate a pregnancy is a decision that should be made by that individual. That, in fact, she has a constitutional right to make that decision for herself and that the state has shown no interest in interfering with that decision

Women, justifiably, feel vulnerable at a time so many years after their journey for reproductive freedom started.

In Texas, self abortion is no crime… A woman who carries out an abortion on herself has committed no crime. The law regards her as a victim.

Abortion is now safer for a woman than childbirth.

It is unthinkable to allow complete strangers, whether individually or collectively as state legislators or others in government, to make such personal decisions for someone else.
