Local Responses to Statewide Abortion Bans

Local leaders dedicated to reproductive rights and justice have the responsibility and opportunity to counteract harmful laws, such as Texas’ SB8, by acting to expand abortion access and fight back against abortion stigma. All* Above All and the National Institute for Reproductive Health developed this resource, Communities Fight Back Against Extreme Abortion Bans: Local Policy Recommendations for Responding to TX SB 8, with input from the Trust Respect Access Coalition of Texas. The recommended policies and practices will help all people, including Texans, access the abortion care they need without shame, unnecessary restrictions, or outside interference.
