New York’s Post-Roe Abortion Plan

With abortion now illegal across 26 states, people across the country in need of abortions will look to states like New York to provide them fundamental medical care. Many of them do not have the means to travel or fund their own abortions. This is especially true for communities with disproportionate barriers to care: young, poor, gender non-conforming and trans communities, and Black and Brown people.

For this reason, we recommend you give now, and give to multiple complementary organizations to make the most impact. Your donations to service providers will make a real difference directly covering costs that are prohibiting people who need abortions from accessing them right now. Together, we can fight to preserve this fundamental right.

The NYCLU and activists across the state will continue to fight for meaningful access to abortion care for anyone who needs it. Stay informed about opportunities to get involved. 

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Nearly half of U.S. states will now move to totally ban abortion — and many states already have. Meanwhile, access to abortion and other reproductive care is already non-existent in many parts of the country — even for some people right here in New York. With the fall of Roe, New York's existing protections for abortion won't be enough to ensure access. 

We must take action to make abortion access a reality for all New Yorkers now.

Across the country, states are seeking to ban and eliminate access to abortion care. In New York, we are working to expand access to reproductive health care so that all people – both New Yorkers and those who need to travel to get care – can get the care they need in our state.
