Hadassah believes all women deserve agency over their own bodies and the autonomy to make reproductive health decisions based on medical guidance and their own values.
Without federal protections for reproductive choice, in November, voters in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York and South Dakota will decide on state ballot measures that will affect reproductive rights and freedom.
Hadassah members in these states are working to educate voters. You can help from any state! Hadassah is cosponsoring phone banking with the Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action (JALSA) and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) in Arizona, Colorado, Florida and Nevada.
