Despite the fact that about 1 in 4 women in the U.S. will have an abortion by the age 45, there remains systemic and preventative measures in states across the country to prevent access to safe and private healthcare options. These unfair measures also disproportionately effect the reproductive healthcare for women living in poverty, for women of color, and for trans communities. Here are some organizations that are working to fill the gap.
