Abortion Is Healthcare And Bodily Autonomy Is A Human Right

The struggle for abortion access is specifically provoked by religiously-based efforts from the Supreme Court all the way down to a small clinic parking lot in South Bend, Indiana. These groups claim to be called by faith to block, intimidate, and bully patients out of the ability to access basic healthcare.

NIA has supported Whole Woman’s Health of South Bend since before they opened their doors for the first time three years ago. We supply them with volunteer clinic escorts, large rainbow umbrellas that are used to shield patients from the anti-abortion extremists, and we’ve held several fundraising campaigns. If you are looking for ways to help you can donate to fund local abortions here: http://tinyurl.com/WWHSBdonation

This is a photo of what the anti-aboriton extremists see when we are escorting. Large rainbow umbrellas protect the privacy and maintain the dignity of patients.
