Center for Reproductive Rights

High Impact Litigation to Protect Reproductive Rights

Model and Strategy

The purpose of this project is to use the power of the law and the courts to safeguard reproductive health and rights in the face of unprecedented threats from the Trump administration, Congress and state legislatures. What is ultimately at stake is women’s dignity and equal status under the Constitution – their ability to make decisions about pregnancy, parenting and their own economic, physical and mental well-being.

Impact

Courts uphold and strengthen legal protections for reproductive rights and healthcare
Women and girls have access to affordable, high­quality and respectful reproductive health services where they live
Strong Supreme Court ruling in Texas case is leveraged to strike down similar laws and new restrictions in 11 or more states
Groundwork is laid for a robust defense of Roe v. Wade
