We would like to share a post from our CEO Rebecca Gibron: “Words cannot express the depth of my outrage and grief after learning of the senseless death of Taysha Wilkinson-Sobieski — a loving mother, wife, and member of her community. Our deepest sympathies go out to her husband, Clayton, their son, Reid, and all who loved her. Her passing is nothing short of a tragedy — an avoidable and predictable tragedy. “Taysha’s death is a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of inaccessible health care in rural areas like DeKalb County and a broken health care system. A quarter of Indiana’s counties are maternity care deserts, with nearly 30 percent having limited or moderate access to maternal care. On top of that, the declining rate of OBGYN residency applications will likely worsen the shortage of maternal care providers. No family should lose a loved one due to a lack of timely or specialized maternity care. “Taysha’s death lays bare the brutal truth about abortion bans and Indiana’s continuing attacks on health care providers. Bans and restriction laws are passed with utter disregard for the health and lives of mothers and families. I am sick and tired of witnessing the abuse of power of our elected officials in Indiana — the attorney general, governor, and far too many legislative leaders. They’ve turned their offices against the basic needs of women and families like Taysha’s with relentless attacks trying to control our bodies and private medical decisions. Their actions have directly fueled the chaos in care we see today including the closure of clinics and maternity wards and doctors fleeing the state out of fear of being punished for doing their jobs: helping pregnant patients. Taysha’s death — and the deaths that will tragically follow — are at the hands of extremists who are hell-bent on stripping away our care and criminalizing health care providers. We need leaders who protect, not prosecute, families and doctors. “We will not sit idly by as more lives are put at risk. We will honor Taysha’s memory by fighting relentlessly to ensure every person in Indiana — and across the nation — has access to the care they deserve.”

The ruling is a major step to eliminating medically unnecessary barriers to reproductive health care, which is protected by Ohio's constitution.

What is Women's Equality Day? In the U.S., the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was first introduced in 1878, but it failed to gain traction. It wasn’t until women’s involvement in the World War I effort made their contributions painfully obvious that women’s suffrage finally gained enough support. Women’s rights groups pointed out the hypocrisy of fighting for democracy in Europe while denying it to half of the American citizens at home. Because a Constitutional amendment requires approval from two-thirds of the states, 36 of them had to ratify the 19th Amendment before its passage. The deciding vote in the Tennessee legislature came from Harry T. Burn, a young state representative whose mother’s plea to support the amendment became a deciding factor in his vote (which he switched at the last minute). Women aren’t done fighting for equal rights. Today, the wage gap between men and women still impacts women’s economic power, and gender-based discrimination still plagues workplaces and business transactions. To remind us of the struggles of the past, present, and future, Congress designated August 26 as Women’s Equality Day in 1971.

We're excited to share the latest news on our Equity initiatives, success stories, and developments from our organization. To all our team members and partners out there, your unwavering support and commitment to the cause continue to inspire us every day. Women’s Equality Day commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. The day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women’s rights. It’s an occasion to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women throughout history, as well as to raise awareness about the work still needed to achieve full equality. Various events, discussions, and activities are held on this day to highlight the importance of women’s empowerment and their role in shaping society. What is Women's Equality Day? Women’s Equality Day, celebrated every August 26, commemorates the passage of women’s suffrage in the U.S. and reminds us of the hurdles overcome by the heroic women who faced violence and discrimination to propel the women’s movement forward. In the early 19th century, American women, who generally couldn’t inherit property and made half of a man’s wages in any available jobs, began organizing to demand political rights and representation. By the early 1900s, several countries including Finland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom had legalized voting for women as the movement continued to sweep across the world. The suffrage movement did not initially represent women of color.

Check out this article by our very own Christine Stanley. #protectabortionrights
Very very honored by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s decision to publish my article “Who can challenge abortion bans? It’s not so clear cut” in the State Court Report !!!! My article details the history of, and the recent changes to third-party standing after Dobbs. Some states, like Kentucky & Florida, have declined abortion providers standing to challenge bans on behalf of their patients— magnifying the ruling’s devastating impact on pregnant people in those states. https://lnkd.in/gBFZimkz
