Gender Equity & Reproductive Freedom

The decision to start a family is a deeply personal, private decision best left to a person, their family, and their doctor. Yet some politicians insist on interfering.

Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed today, and it’s incredibly safe. But certain laws make it difficult if not impossible for a person to get an abortion if they need one. Unfortunately, Florida’s Governor and legislature disagree with Floridians and have enacted a dangerous near-total abortion ban in Florida, that went into effect on May 1, 2024.

Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, we strive to ensure that every person has the opportunity to make a real decision and the ability to get the care they need. With your help, the ACLU of Florida stands ready to block efforts to take this decision away from people and their families.
