Friends,

On June 23, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned 50 years of precedent and ruled that abortion is not a fundamental right. This radical attack on people who can become pregnant will not stop abortion, and for many people, self-managed abortions will be their only choice. Jurisdictions where abortion is illegal will unfairly prosecute people for ending their pregnancy. Prosecutions for self-managed abortions are not new and will increase in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision.

I’m running the 2022 New York City Marathon to raise money for the Repro Legal Defense Fund.

No one who is prosecuted for ending their own pregnancy should have to worry about paying for a strong legal defense on top of the stress, fear, and trauma caused by being caught up in the criminal punishment system. The Repro Legal Defense Fund provides real, tangible financial support to help pay for legal fees and the strongest possible defense for those who are criminally prosecuted.

I am a monthly donor to the Repro Legal Defense Fund, and I hope you will join me in supporting RLDF by making a donation to them today at https://reprolegaldefensefund.org/give/. If you feel comfortable doing so please email me at seth.rosen@gmail.com so I can thank you. A series of FAQs about the Repro Legal Defense fund are here.

Thank you for your support of abortion rights! I am so grateful to you!
