Pro-Choice Connecticut

This fall, Pro Choice CT will officially be sunsetting its operations. But this is not good bye. In fact, it's only the beginning. Today, we're proud to introduce our friends @reproequity_now, who will be picking up the mantle and carrying on our legacy of bold repro advocacy.

“Access to contraception empowers people to decide whether and when to become pregnant, and provides people with the opportunity to control their own reproductive destiny and autonomy. We must meet this moment by codifying the right to contraception into federal law.” -Liz, PCCT

“CT pioneered this country’s acknowledgement of the right to privacy in the 1965 decision Griswold v. Connecticut & we are incredibly proud that our state continues to honor that legacy including recent passage of legislation that will expand access to contraception”- Liz, PCCT

Today we were proud to join champion @SenBlumenthal & our partners @ppsne & @cwealf in support of efforts to enshrine the right to contraception into federal law & discuss the ongoing fight to protect and expand access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care.

“We should trust individuals to make decisions about their bodies that are best for their health, their family structures, and their futures—it's past time that our public policy reflects that.” -Liz Gustafson, State Director, Pro-Choice CT

“It is critical that there is practical & meaningful investment in the infrastructure of abortion and pregnancy-related care here in our state and across the country.” -Liz Gustafson, State Director, PCCT

This morning we had the honor of joining Congresswoman @rosadelauro, @PPSNE , @acluct, and reproductive health care providers to highlight the impact of the Dobbs decision, and the current state of abortion access here in Connecticut and across the country.

Today we were honored to join @AGWilliamTong, @LGSusanB, Repro Rights Caucus Co-Chairs Rep. @Matt_Blumenthal & Rep. @JillianG_CT, Senator @MaeFlexer, Dr. Deidre Gifford, @PPSNE, @acluct & @cwealf for an important discussion on the fight for reproductive freedom. Thank you!

Proud to join @AGWilliamTong for a Roundtable Discussion on the state of abortion care one year after the Dobbs Decision. I feel incredibly lucky to get to work alongside so many amazing champions for reproductive health and justice! @ProChoiceCT @PPSNE @acluct @Matt_Blumenthal

“We know that the harm of this crisis falls hardest on people working to make ends meet who are more likely to be people of color,” @theFword527 on why we need the #AbortionJustice Act. TY @RepPressley for blazing the trail in Congress with this new bill: thehill.com/homenews/house…

The fall of Roe was just the beginning. Join me tomorrow for a panel discussion on what we have seen one year post Dobbs and how Connecticut is fighting back to protect access to safe, legal abortion.

1/Happy #Juneteenth! We are celebrating Black Liberation today & everyday! That means uplifting the ways Black people — esp queer, trans & gender expansive Black folks — have been driving the work to protect our right to bodily autonomy & how we build our families & our futures.

Thank you to Rep. @JillianG_CT, Rep. @Matt_Blumenthal, Rep. @rep_currey, Rep. @kateforct, Rep. @dominiqueforct, Rep. @raghibct and all champions for reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ equity in the State House and Senate!

As the first state to pass a shield law, we are incredibly proud and deeply grateful for the ongoing leadership of our legislative champions to ensure robust protections for providers of abortion and gender-affirming care, and for those seeking care. 19thnews.org/2023/06/aborti…

Juneteenth is a day of celebration & a call to action to unite, honor and continue the work of those who fought for Black lives & Black voices. The vote is still a powerful instrument of change to address systemic racism. Make a plan to vote in Hartford’s Mayoral race this year.

Happy one year anniversary to our friends from @reachfundct! Thank you for your ongoing work to support those accessing abortion care 💜🫶🏻✨

Honored to represent Connecticut @WhiteHouse to continue the fight for reproductive freedom w/ @Matt_Blumenthal As we approach 1 year since the overturning of Roe v. Wade CT continues to lead and pass laws to protect our rights and expand access to reproductive health care.

@kateforct @WhiteHouse @Matt_Blumenthal Thank you both for your ongoing leadership and commitment!!
