We have made the difficult decision to disband PRROWESS.  We have had difficulty with fundraising but persisted because of the threats to medication abortion in the Supreme Court and the uncertainty of the 2024 elections.  Our legal standing and safety concerns have always been predicated on a sympathetic Commander and Chief of the Coast Guard.  We cannot afford to risk our patients and staff with a hostile executive branch.  As promised, we are distributing money raised to abortion funds in the Gulf States to enable patients there to access the care they need and deserve. 

We want to be very clear that we are not abandoning this fight.  Patients in these states, particularly poor patients and patients of color, are not able to access the care they need and are frequently unable to take time away from home or work even with funding.  These states have the highest maternal mortality in the country and people are dying because they are not given life-sustaining abortion care in emergencies. 

We are so grateful for all the support we received and are encouraged by some of the successful state initiatives thus far, but it is not nearly enough and the most vulnerable among us continue to be at peril. The path forward is bleak, but we must forge ahead in solidarity because the goal of reproductive justice and equitable access is paramount. 

Below is a list of abortion funds where our donations are being distributed if you would like to make ongoing gifts to organizations on the ground in this critical fight.  All of these organizations provide financial and logistical support and work directly with abortion seekers.
