#Texas Senate Bill 8, a 6-week abortion ban, took effect today! The #SupremeCourt choose not to block this law and now there is a $10,000 bounty on ANYONE who supports a pregnant person in getting an abortion. Most pregnancies are not discovered until after 6 week so this is a TOTAL ABORTION BAN. Abortion bans will never stop abortions - just make them inaccessible to those who need them most and jeopardize the lives of pregnant women and folx.

Casi 140 de los músicos más destacados del momento, lista en la que están incluidos los Foo Fighters, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Kacey Musgraves, Beck y Bon Iver, se manifestaron abiertamente a favor de la legalización del aborto y firmaron una carta que respalda la campaña Planned Parenthood: #BansOffMyBody.

La iniciativa crea conciencia sobre el aumento de las leyes restrictivas contra el aborto que se están aprobando en regiones de los Estados Unidos bajo la administración de Donald Trump.

La carta firmada aparece como parte de un anuncio titulado "Band Together, Bans Off" en el último número de la revista Billboard. Otros partidarios incluyen Nine Inch Nails, St. Vincent, John Legend, The 1975, Carly Rae Jepsen, Queens of the Stone Age, Sleater-Kinney, Demi Lovato, HAIM, Nicki Minaj, Pussy Riot, Megan Thee Stallion, Troye Sivan, Kim Gordon, Mitski, Miley Cyrus, Fiona Apple, Spoon y The National.

La lista masiva de firmas también cuenta con Alanis Morissette, Carole King, CHVRCHES, Death Cab for Cutie, Maggie Rogers, The Distillers, Heart, Jenny Lewis, Katy Perry, Miguel, Norah Jones, Phantogram, Portugal. The Man, Princess Nokia, PUP, Sky Ferreira, Sia, Dua Lipa, Tayla Parx, Toro Y Moi, Third Eye Blind, Tove Lo, Vic Mensa, Macklemore, Hayley Kiyoko y White Reaper. "Los que firmaron están instando a sus seguidores de las redes sociales a tomar medidas contra estas prohibiciones, y aprender más sobre la amenaza del acceso seguro y legal al aborto en las comunidades de todo el país", se lee en un comunicado de prensa de Planned Parenthood.

"Específicamente, los artistas están pidiendo a sus seguidores que agreguen su nombre a una petición nacional que pide el fin de las prohibiciones del aborto, con el objetivo de recolectar medio millón de firmas para el aniversario de Roe v. Wade en enero de 2020"

En una declaración, Billie Eilish, de 17 años, comentó: "Estoy orgullosa de defender a Planned Parenthood mientras luchan por un acceso justo e igualitario a los derechos reproductivos", y agregó: "No podemos vivir libremente y movernos plenamente en el mundo cuando nuestro derecho básico a acceder a la atención de salud reproductiva que necesitamos está bajo ataque. Toda persona merece el derecho de controlar su cuerpo, su vida y su futuro ".

We’re banding together — quite literally — for abortion access.

Artists and musicians are stepping up and standing with Planned Parenthood to protest the extreme abortion bans sweeping the country and the attacks on our fundamental right to make decisions about our bodies. From commitments to boycott filming in Georgia, to generous donations from their tours being given to Planned Parenthood, to signing an ad against the abortion bans, these artists are challenging abortion stigma and helping change the conversation about abortion. 

And together, we're sharing our stories, reclaiming our bodies, and owning our power.

As summer comes to a close, here are some of the artists on our end-of-summer playlist who’ve stood up and spoken out to say: get your #BansOffMyBody:

1. Lizzo

Owning your body = good as hell. And we agree with Lizzo 110%: we’re capable of making our own decisions about our bodies. At this year’s VMAs, Lizzo rocked a necklace by Sophie Ratner that reads “Bans Off.”

2. Dua Lipa

We got new rules and they’re all about protecting access to abortion. Shout out to Dua Lipa for showing up for the millions of people whose rights are under attack. 

3. Sia

It’s not just abortion that’s under attack, it’s all sexual and reproductive health care. But together, we are a movement and we are unstoppable. 

4. Hayley Kiyoko

Girls like girls — and abortion access too, it’s nothing new. Hayley Kiyoko joined nearly 140 artists and musicians who stood up for abortion access.

5. Paulina Rubio

Our bodies are our own. If they are not, we can not be truly free. Or equal. 

6. John Legend 

All of us at Planned Parenthood will continue to provide health care for all of you. Thanks, John Legend, for speaking up for our rights!

7. The National 

We’re in no mood to have our rights be taken away. No way in hell. The National is banding together with us to stand up for abortion access.

8. Bon Iver

When it comes to securing access to abortion for everyone, we’re not out of the woods yet. But we’re one step closer, thanks to Bon Iver and thousands of others, who are standing up to say Bans Off My Body. 

9. Billie Eilish

"I’m proud to be standing up for Planned Parenthood as they fight for fair and equal access to reproductive rights. We cannot live freely and move fully in the world when our basic right to access the reproductive health care we need is under attack. Every person deserves the right to control their body, their life, and their future." 

We all know the real bad guy is anyone who thinks they can make decisions about your body for you.

10. Ariana Grande

So grateful for artists like Ariana who are stepping up and spreading their generosity for Planned Parenthood and abortion funds. We’re not letting up in the fight to protect abortion access; we gotta keep breathin’ and breathin’ and continue to fight back. 

11. Selena Gomez

We agree with Selena: stop telling us what to do with our bodies.

This is just a snapshot of the many artists who are standing with Planned Parenthood. Find out who else is banding together for abortion access and sign the petition alongside them today: bansoffmybody.org

Why We’re Not ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’: States Are Boldly Expanding Abortion Access and Fiercely Protecting Bodily Autonomy

You’ve heard the comparisons: the America we live in now is a few steps away from The Handmaid’s Tale. In that show and the book it’s based on, women live under a dictatorship that controls their bodies. Women don’t get to decide whether to be pregnant or raise a child — while an authoritarian, male-dominated regime uses flowery, religious rhetoric to make their abuse sound virtuous.

In real life, politicians are trying to ban abortion, rob women of their bodily autonomy, and risk women’s health — all while pretending to claim the moral high ground. The outright abortion ban that passed in Alabama, and the six-week abortion bans that have passed in several states portend a monumental challenge to Roe v. Wade — the 1973 Supreme Court case that affirmed the constitutional right to access abortion. And if the Supreme Court overturns Roe, at least 20 states are poised to outlaw abortion.

But that’s not the end of the story. Just as in The Handmaid’s Tale, the resistance is strong. There is hope. And unlike Gilead, we still have free speech in America — and we’re using the power of our collective voice to fight back and make real gains.

You don't need to take our word for it. The Handmaid’s Tale cast has condemned abortion bans and said, loud and clear: This is not Gilead.

The Good News

Pro-reproductive health lawmakers are stepping up not only to protect people’s health and ensure abortion remains safe and legal in their states, but also to expand access. In several state legislatures, lawmakers have taken abortion out of the criminal code to treat it as what it is: health care. Their landmark bills are changing the abortion landscape in their states for the better,

Enacted: New York’s Reproductive Health Act

When the Reproductive Health Act was signed into law in New York in January, anti-abortion politicians spewed explosive lies about it, which the New York State Senate has corrected time and again. Here's what the law actually does:

Affirms abortion is a “fundamental right” in the state of New York. It ensures that, if Roe v. Wade is ever overturned, abortion would remain a legal health procedure — and patients and doctors would not go to jail.

Moves abortion regulations off the state’s criminal code (where it had been for almost 50 years) and onto its health code.

Expands access to abortion later in pregnancy if the woman’s health is at risk or if the pregnancy cannot survive.

New York’s Reproductive Health Act is one of the strongest protections for abortion access in the country. It’s about making sure that at every point in a pregnancy, a woman's health (and not politicians’ ideology), drives medical decisions.

Enacted: Nevada’s Trust Nevada Women Act

In May, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed the Trust Nevada Women Act into law. Like New York’s Reproductive Health Act, it strikes down ancient criminal punishments for providing abortion. In addition, Nevada doctors are no longer forced to ascertain a woman’s marital status or age, and don’t have to parrot a state-mandated script with politically motivated and inaccurate warnings about the "emotional implications" of abortion.

Enacted: Illinois’s Reproductive Health Act

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed the state’s Reproductive Health Act into law on June 12. The Illinois Reproductive Health Act codifies into law that abortion is not a crime. It also fixes the state’s outdated abortion law with regulations that reflect current medical standards.

Enacted: Vermont’s Act to Preserve the Right to Abortion

In Vermont, another sweeping abortion rights bill passed the legislature and has been signed by the G.O.P. governor Phil Scott . The legislation — H.57, "An Act Relating to Preserving the Right to Abortion" — affirms "the fundamental right of every individual who becomes pregnant to choose to carry a pregnancy to term, to give birth to a child, or to have an abortion." The measure stops law enforcement from prosecuting abortion providers.

Passed to Full Senate: Rhode Island’s Reproductive Health Care Act

Rhode Island’s Reproductive Health Care Act protects the right to safe, legal abortion. It also repeals unconstitutional laws from Rhode Island's law book. On June 13, the state Senate Committee on Health and Human Services voted to pass the legislation to the Senate floor.

Introduced: Massachusetts’s ROE Act

Reproductive health champions in Massachusetts recently introduced the Remove Obstacles and Expand (ROE) Abortion Access Act in the state House and Senate. Like reproductive health acts in other states, the ROE Act would put the right to abortion in state law and allow for abortion care later in pregnancy under medical conditions that threaten the woman’s health. It also nixes parental consent and 24-hour waiting period requirements, as well as corrects inflammatory and medically inaccurate definitions of abortion and pregnancy in the current law.

Building on Strength

These states illustrate the power and momentum of the abortion rights movement. In fact, 25 states have introduced bills to affirm and protect reproductive rights during their 2019 legislative sessions.

As of this writing, 12 states have already enacted laws that would protect the right to abortion if Roe v. Wade were overturned. That list includes Illinois, Nevada, New York, and Vermont as mentioned above, as well as California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Oregon and Washington.

Good News from the Courts, Attorneys General

In addition to passing bills in state legislatures, reproductive-rights champions are moving to safeguard abortion access through the courts. In April, the Kansas Supreme Court affirmed that the state’s constitution guarantees the right to “decide whether to continue a pregnancy.” That ruling could pave the way for advocates of safe and legal abortion to challenge abortion restrictions in Kansas.

Meanwhile, attorneys general in Michigan and New Mexicopledged not to prosecute people seeking abortion or abortion providers if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. Both states have laws on the books that would criminalize abortion if Roe is overturned.

Americans Support Abortion Access

This wave of legal, and public affirmations reflects Americans’ strong support for access to safe, legal abortion. A vast majority of people in the United States — 77% of Americans, in fact — do not want the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Join the Resistance

The biggest difference between America now and The Handmaid’s Tale: We don’t have to resist in the shadows. We can be loud and proud. We can shout our solidarity from the rooftops. We can fight back in the open.

Use your voice. Tell your elected officials to get their #BansOffMyBody.

Bans Off My Body

Our bodies are our own — if they are not, we cannot be truly free or equal. Our right to abortion care is not debatable.

Sign on to say: No bans. Not now, not ever.
