The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, passed a law that will become law on July 1. Most types of abortion are not allowed after 15 weeks. Texas Senate Bill 8 was passed in September of 2021.

If you are wondering what you can do to help protect reproductive rights that are becoming increasingly under threat, here are four organizations that offer resources, vital services, and other information.

• Planned Parenthood. A nonprofit that operates 50 affiliate locations across the country, where it provides healthcare and education on reproductive rights. Right now, there are 26 U.S. states that are set to ban abortions with the overturn of Roe v. Wade.
• Center for Reproductive Rights. This advocacy organization focuses on giving legal help and assistance in service of reproductive freedoms. In its interactive project, “What if Roe fell?,” the organization created a visualized representation of potential abortion restrictions, such as TRAP (or “targeted regulation of abortion providers”) laws, parental involvement, and consent laws, which include biased counseling or requiring ultrasounds.
• Population Action International. A nonprofit that advocates for healthcare and family planning by partnering with policy writers and “a network of global partners.” The organization works with women and vulnerable populations.
• Guttmacher Institute. A research-focused organization dating back to 1968, this group has tracked legislative action on reproductive healthcare. The organization reports that 2021 was the worst year for reproductive rights, citing a total of 108 restrictions.
