The Trust Women/Silver Ribbon Campaign is leading campaigns to accurately situate the rights to decide whether and when to have children in the public health framework of social and economic justice and equality. Measures that stigmatize and impede access to abortion care and other reproductive health care services enforce inequalities by gender, class, race and geography. We present the findings and popular education tools developed to inform policy-makers and the public, and to strengthen support for legal access to affordable reproductive health care services.
