Take Action: Stand up for abortion rights

This Take Action was put together by the 500 Women Scientists Leadership team and SciMomJourneys team.

Last week, the United States government joined a global anti-abortion pact. While non-binding, the pact, called the “Geneva Consensus Declaration,” signals that the US will work with others to affirm that “there is no international right to abortion.” Polish women marched in protest.

The pact is among several other moves by US leaders to restrict reproductive rights in recent years. This week, anti-abortion and anti-science Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court of the United States and the Trump administration has already taken steps to limit access to birth control, restrict reproductive healthcare access both at home and abroad. These actions follow a wave of state-level anti-abortion bills based on pseudoscience
