ICYMI: Trump Administration Covertly Bans Abortion Care for Veterans – Even in Cases of Rape and Incest
460,000 women veterans will lose access to abortion care, as Trump administration continues push towards national abortion ban.
WASHINGTON, DC –– Over the holidays, while most Americans were distracted, the Trump administration covertly banned abortion care for women veterans at Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities, rolling back the Biden-era protections. The policy first announced last August, and enacted December 22 right ahead of the holidays, blocks access to abortion care and counseling through the VA, even in cases of rape, incest, or medical emergencies. The Trump administration knows that attacks on abortion are widely unpopular, and it is no coincidence that they moved to ban abortion across the VA when few Americans were paying attention.
Veterans, patient advocates, and lawmakers have warned of the sweeping harm the ban will have on veterans and their families. This week, Senate Democrats introduced a Congressional Review Act resolution to overturn the ban. At a Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing, Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) blasted the administration while questioning VA Secretary Doug Collins.
“In late December, not long ago, the Trump administration quietly implemented a near-total abortion ban at the VA,” said Senator Patty Murray. “VA’s final rule prevents the more than 460,000 women veterans of reproductive age — over half of whom live in states with abortion bans — from receiving abortion care at the VA now. VA providers aren’t even allowed to discuss abortion as an option with veteran patients.”
“I just want everyone to know, under this VA Final Rule — no exceptions for rape or incest. And I find that outrageous.”
Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, Veronica Ingham released the following statement:
“Women in uniform deserve our utmost respect for protecting and serving this country. This latest ban demonstrates what we have always known — that the Trump administration is pushing for a national abortion ban and using veterans as their guinea pigs to do it,” said Veronica Ingham, Senior Campaigns Director for Free & Just. “Trump and anti-abortion extremists are hoping we won’t notice all that they are doing to turn back the clock on our rights. They have no regard for the women who defended this country, and they acted to ban abortion for veterans when no one was watching because they did not want backlash from the American public, who overwhelmingly support reproductive freedom.”
Under Trump, extremists are more emboldened than ever and are launching new attacks on our freedoms. The Trump administration is pulling every lever at their disposal to ban abortion nationwide — even in states where it is legally protected.
From weaponizing federal agencies to roll back access to medication abortion, to sneaking new national abortion restrictions into critical health care legislation and undermining federal protections for lifesaving care, the consequences of attacks on reproductive freedom are deadly and will impact everyone.

On the Would-be 53rd Anniversary of Roe v. Wade Senator Kelda Roys, Wisconsin Patients, and Advocates Spotlight Latest Threats to Abortion Care
Overturning Roe was just the start — anti-abortion extremists are working overtime to ban abortion nationwide
MADISON, WI –– Today, patient storytellers and advocates joined Free & Just to mark what would have been the 53rd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision and spotlight the latest threats to abortion care for women and families nationwide. For nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade protected the legal right to abortion until the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. Since then, reproductive health care and pregnancy have become less safe in America as anti-abortion extremists are aggressively pushing to ban abortion nationwide – even in states where it is currently protected.
The would-be anniversary of Roe comes as President Trump enters his second year of his second term. Trump and his allies have moved swiftly to enact their extreme anti-abortion agenda, using every lever at their disposal to attack abortion care — no matter how many lives are lost. From attempts to ban medication abortion, to stripping away protections allowing doctors to provide lifesaving emergency care to patients in need, and banning access to abortion care for veterans who served our country – this administration has proven that they will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide.
As far-right extremists attack all Americans’ health care, we must remember that access to reproductive care is under attack. At today’s event, Senator Roys, storytellers, and advocates uplifted the stories of women and patients affected by ongoing efforts to roll back rights on reproductive freedom nationwide.
“Roe is one in a line of cases that talks about Americans having the dignity and having the privacy of autonomy. It is not just Roe that is under attack by right-wing ideologues; it is that whole line of cases that guarantees each and every one of us the right to make our own decisions about our lives,” said Wisconsin State Senator Kelda Roys (D-Madison). “Republican politicians will stop at nothing to strip women of our most basic and fundamental right to our own health and our own lives. We're not going to be silenced or demoralized by anti-choice politicians who want to silence us. Together, we can create a future where every single one of us has the autonomy to make our own choices, to chart our own life course. Regardless of what any individual might feel about abortion, every single one of us deserves to live free in a society where we get to make our own decisions about our own health, our own bodies, and our own lives free from political interference. That's what it means to have healthy, thriving families and live in a free society.”
“Here in our nation, and here in the state of Wisconsin, our freedoms are under attack. And we will not stand back and watch our freedoms be taken away from us,” said Dana Pellebon, patient storyteller and Executive Director of RCC Sexual Violence Resource Center. “When we say reproductive justice and reproductive freedom, that means that what we want is for every person with a uterus to be able to choose what they want to do with their body, and what they want to do, with how they choose to move forward with their medical decisions.”
“Project 2025 made clear what was at stake. It was not just about abortion policy. It was about power. It was about using the machinery of government to impose one narrow religious ideology on a religiously diverse nation. As a Baptist, I must say plainly that this agenda was — and is — a violation of our religious freedom,” said Rev. Tim Schaefer, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Madison & co-chair of the Wisconsin Coalition for Religious Freedom. “When the state claims the authority to decide whose bodies are controlled, whose beliefs count, and whose conscience matters, none of us are free. Today it is abortion, tomorrow it is contraception, then marriage, gender identity, worship, speech, and dissent. On this anniversary of Roe, we remember what was lost, but more importantly, we recommit ourselves to what must be protected and reclaimed. Forward, not backward. In faith. In freedom. In justice for all.”
“If Roe was the law when I needed an abortion, I would not have been forced to travel abroad to seek care. In 1970, my birth control failed and I became pregnant. Six weeks later, I traveled alone to Mexico City for an abortion. Fast forward to today, I’m happy that I was able to get the care I needed and make this very personal decision for myself,” said Patricia McFarland, patient storyteller who received an abortion before Roe v. Wade. “Roe gave women protections that I wish I had as a teen. I am devastated that the rights guaranteed under Roe have been stripped away for those who need it the most today. As I reflect on what would have been 53 years since the Roe decision, I know for certain that women will suffer so long as politicians interfere in our ability to make our own private medical decisions.”
“If I have learned anything from this roller coaster, both the past year or in Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's past 91 years, we are not ones to back away from a fight. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin stands firmly with the people of Wisconsin and their continued need to access affordable, non-judgmental, compassionate reproductive healthcare,” said Sydney O'Hare, Public Relations Madison Organizer for Planned Parenthood Wisconsin. “This moment is built by people who love their communities enough to stand up for them. And together, we are powerful enough to protect our freedoms to make decisions about our own lives and our own futures.”

On the Would-be 53rd Anniversary of Roe, Republicans & Anti-Abortion Extremists Continue to Push for a National Abortion Ban
The deadly Dobbs decision was just the start — anti-abortion extremists are working overtime to ban abortion nationwide
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Free & Just is marking the would-be 53rd anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade, which protected the legal right to abortion care across the country. In 2022, the Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision overturned these protections, putting millions of women's lives at risk. The anniversary comes one week after ProPublica reported on the preventable death of Ciji Graham, a mother from North Carolina who died waiting for care while pregnant. Graham’s death is the seventh in the U.S. attributed to abortion bans in recent years.
Threats to abortion care are at an all time high, and the Trump administration is using every lever at their disposal to ban abortion nationwide — no matter how many lives are lost. From weaponizing federal agencies to roll back access to medication abortion, which could leave as many as 64.5 million people across the country without access to care, to sneaking new national abortion restrictions into critical health care legislation – even as costs skyrocket, and undermining federal protections for lifesaving care, the consequences of attacks on reproductive freedom are deadly.
Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, released the following statement commemorating the anniversary of Roe v. Wade:
“For generations, Roe v. Wade gave patients legal protection to make decisions about their bodies and their futures. Today, instead of building on these fundamental protections, we are mourning the lives lost to abortion bans after the deadly Dobbs decision. Roe was never enough – especially for people already marginalized by racism, poverty, and geography – but it provided an important legal foundation that made further progress possible. Now, we remain committed to expanding reproductive freedom, and will continue to tell the stories of people affected by the Trump administration’s efforts to roll back our rights.”
BACKGROUND
Since the deadly Dobbs decision, states across the country have enacted trigger bans that criminalize receiving or providing abortion care and it has never been more dangerous for patients to be pregnant in America. The devastating consequences of Roe being overturned can be felt to this day as women are dying in states across the country and attacks on abortion care persist nationwide at the local and federal levels.
Under pressure from extremist lawmakers, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary opened an “investigation” into mifepristone in 2025: While the FDA is allegedly “slow-walking” the review, the reality is that new restrictions on mifepristone may be on the horizon, jeopardizing care for 64.5 million people across the country.
In late 2025, as Congressional Republicans scrambled to address the health care crisis they created, some lawmakers embraced radical groups like Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America seeking to impose new restrictions on abortion care: Radical lawmakers like Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) are so emboldened right now, that they are launching new anti-abortion groups designed to oppose abortion ballot initiatives in states across the country. Extremists will continue to exploit our country’s health care crisis and seek opportunities to impose sweeping new abortion restrictions no matter the cost.
Legal challenges to medication abortion also persist: Anti-abortion extremists in Texas and Florida filed a new lawsuit in December 2025 challenging the FDA’s original approval of mifepristone and the subsequent changes that have been made to make the safe and effective medicine more accessible. The new lawsuit mirrors a prior Supreme Court mifepristone case that was dismissed on standing but could return to SCOTUS through this case.
Roughly half of Trump’s judicial nominees this term have revealed anti-abortion views, been associated with anti-abortion groups or defended abortion restrictions, with at least eight having argued in favor of abortion restrictions or against expanded abortion access: This past summer’s confirmations of anti-abortion extremists including Joshua Divine and Whitney Hermandorfer to critical judgeships are just the tip of the iceberg. It remains to be seen how these dangerous judges will continue to chip away at reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy nationwide.
Bottomline: Since the deadly Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, Trump and his allies are using every lever at their disposal to dismantle any fragment of reproductive freedom left in this country until abortion is banned nationwide.

ICYMI: Extremist Lawmakers Double Down on Plans to Ban Abortion Nationwide as Patients and Providers Urge Politicians to Stay Out of Medical Decisions
WASHINGTON, DC –– This week, extremist lawmakers in Washington, DC laid bare their plans to ban medication abortion nationwide – even in states where it is legally protected. Medication abortion currently accounts for nearly two-thirds of abortions across the country, and, according to research from Reproductive Freedom for All, these attacks could eliminate care for 64.5 million people across the country.
On Tuesday, ahead of the Senate HELP Committee’s bogus hearing on the safety of medication abortion, Carrie Frail, a patient storyteller and advocate with Free & Just, joined physicians from across the country at a virtual press event to underscore the importance of protecting access to mifepristone.
“This is not a morality issue. It's a medical issue that involves personal privacy, body autonomy, and discussion between a woman and her doctor,” said Frail, an Air Force veteran who credits her abortion with allowing her to escape an abusive relationship. “I'm grateful that I was allowed to make that choice for myself. But I fear for my daughter and other young women who die as a result of these bans. I find it outrageous that a country will use women to protect its interests, and demand they swear an oath to defend the Constitution that no longer protects them as full citizens.”
On Wednesday, Free & Just brought a handful of patients who have relied on abortion care to Washington, DC to attend the Senate HELP hearing, share their stories, and connect with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Marissa “Sunni” Rudd, a single mother and popular content creator who speaks openly about her own experience accessing medication abortion, traveled from New York City to attend the hearing in Washington.
“I came here to push back on the lies being told about medication abortion. As a mom, I care about honesty and safety,” said Rudd, who educates her followers about reproductive health care. “It’s frustrating to watch lawmakers claim they’re protecting women while giving space to extreme voices that spread fear instead of facts. Women are being harmed by this misinformation, and we deserve better.”
During the hearing, a mobile billboard from Free & Just circled Capitol Hill, a reminder, Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, says of where Republicans’ priorities lie.
“This week, we learned of another tragic death under an abortion ban. Instead of preventing more women from dying preventable deaths, Republican lawmakers proved just how out of touch they are by wasting time with sham hearings and fighting amongst themselves about language and process. The data is clear: The vast majority of Americans support protecting abortion access and do not want to see our rights rolled back even further.”

Free & Just Statement on Death of Ciji Graham, Mother & Police Officer Who Died After Being Denied Lifesaving Care
Ciji Graham’s death was preventable, but North Carolina’s abortion ban denied her access to care.
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, ProPublica reported on the death of North Carolina mother and Greensboro Police Officer, Ciji Graham, 34, who died after being denied standard medical care under North Carolina’s abortion ban. Graham, whose pregnancy was considered high-risk due to a serious heart condition, struggled to access necessary health care because the state’s restrictive abortion laws left doctors unable to act.
North Carolina law bans most abortions after twelve weeks of pregnancy, with few exceptions. As a result, women are often denied care because doctors fear criminalization, even in emergency cases.
In response to today’s reporting, Veronica Ingham, Managing Director for Free & Just released the following statement:
“Ciji Graham’s preventable death is devastating and a painful reminder of what happens when politicians interfere in our medical care. Our hearts are broken for Ciji's family, and Free & Just sends our deepest condolences to her son, SJ. Abortion bans are killing women across the country, and more lives will be lost. Ciji should still be here — raising her son and serving her community. Instead, her life was cut short by anti-abortion extremism.”
Graham’s passing marks the seventh known woman to have died after being denied care due to a state’s extreme abortion ban.

Mobile Billboard from Free & Just to Circle Capitol Hill During Bogus Senate Hearing on Medication Abortion
Extremist lawmakers invite radical anti-abortion leaders to testify before Senate HELP Committee hearing on medication abortion
WASHINGTON, DC –– On Wednesday, January 14, Free & Just is launching a mobile billboard that will circle Capitol Hill during Republicans’ bogus hearing on the safety of medication abortion before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
The hearing comes amid mounting pressure from extremist groups and activists eager to ban medication abortion nationwide – even in states where it is currently legally protected. Medication abortion currently accounts for nearly two-thirds of abortions across the country. According to research from Reproductive Freedom for All, restricting access to medication abortion could eliminate care for 64.5 million people across the country.
Survey data released in December 2025 shows that while most Americans are unaware of looming attacks on medication abortion, a majority oppose policies designed to restrict access to medication abortion. Instead of protecting access to care, Republican lawmakers are inviting radical anti-abortion extremists to our nation’s capital to spread dangerous lies and disinformation.
The mobile billboard will travel around Capitol Hill during the Senate HELP hearing from 9AM–5PM ET on Wednesday.
Contact Kelly Rimar (kelly@freeandjust.us) for questions or more information.

ICYMI: New JAMA Study Confirms FDA Followed Science on Medication Abortion. Trump Allies Are Moving to Change That
WASHINGTON, DC –– A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) confirms that for the past twelve years, the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) decisions related to medication abortion have been based on science alone. Under the Trump administration, FDA’s strict adherence to science and evidence-based research could change.
Medication abortion currently accounts for nearly two-thirds of abortions across the country. According to research from Reproductive Freedom for All, restricting access to medication abortion could eliminate care for 64.5 million people across the country.
The new study, which draws on more than 5,000 pages of internal memos, emails, and other documents, affirms that the FDA has repeatedly evaluated new evidence about the abortion medication, mifepristone, and determined that the drug is safe. Still, political attacks on access to medication abortion continue to escalate.
In response to the new JAMA study, Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, released the following statement:
“For more than a decade, FDA decisions about mifepristone have been guided by science – not ideology. That could change under Trump, and millions of people could soon lose access to medication abortion, even those who live in states where abortion is protected by law. We cannot allow extremist politicians to sideline medical experts and weaponize federal agencies to advance their own agendas. Mifepristone is safe, effective, and extremely popular with most Americans. It’s time for anti-abortion extremists to stop interfering with our personal, private medical decisions.”
On Wednesday, January 14, Senate Republicans are hosting a bogus hearing on the safety of medication abortion, featuring outspoken anti-abortion extremists like Louisiana Attorney General, Liz Murrill.
Under pressure from extremist groups and activists, Trump administration officials like Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary are working to ban medication abortion nationwide. According to survey data released in December 2025, most Americans are unaware of these attacks, but a majority oppose policies designed to restrict access to medication abortion.
Patients who have relied on medication abortion will join Free & Just in Washington, DC on Wednesday, January 14, to set the record straight and demand an end to political attacks on health care.
If you are interested in connecting with patients, providers, or advocates about access to medication abortion or learning more about the January 14 hearing on Capitol Hill, please contact Kelly Rimar (kelly@freeandjust.us).

NEW DATA: Abortion Bans Are Limiting Access to Lifesaving Emergency Care for Patients Nationwide
WASHINGTON, DC – New data published in the JAMA Health Forum confirms that abortion bans impact all patients' access to emergency medical care in states across the country. These findings spotlight that women are dying because they are being denied emergency care in states with abortion bans. While the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) guarantees access to lifesaving care at hospitals nationwide, restrictive abortion laws undermine these protections, leaving patients and providers at risk.
Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, released the following statement responding to the new data:
“No one in crisis should be turned away from the ER, but this data confirms what we have known all along: Abortion bans limit access to all types of emergency medical care, including lifesaving emergency abortion care. Abortion bans have already claimed the lives of women in states like Georgia and Texas – and these are just the deaths we know about. Instead of protecting patients and families across the country, Republican lawmakers and their extremist allies are working overtime to impose dangerous new restrictions on abortion.”
BACKGROUND
For decades, federal law has required hospitals to provide emergency medical treatment to anyone who needs it. Data from Navigator Research found that while only 15% of people were familiar with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA), the vast majority support the protections it provides for patients.
Still, anti-abortion extremists are working to gut these critical safeguards.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration rescinded federal guidance specifying that pregnant patients experiencing medical emergencies should be able to access abortion care. The previous guidance during the Biden Administration reaffirmed that the protections guaranteed by the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) extend to pregnant patients in need of emergency abortion care.
Bottomline: From rescinding Biden era guidance that required hospitals to provide lifesaving abortion care, to recent attacks on medication abortion, extremists have made clear that they will not stop until abortion is banned nationwide – no matter the cost.

Anti-Abortion Extremists are Exploiting Federal Agencies to Ban Medication Abortion Nationwide
WASHINGTON, DC – Anti-abortion extremists are pressuring federal agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to abandon years of evidence-based research to ban medication abortion nationwide. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA approved medication that’s been on the market for over twenty years, and banning medication abortion will impact states even where care is legal. According to research from Reproductive Freedom for All, restricting access to medication abortion could eliminate care for 64.5 million people across the country.
Republicans and anti-abortion extremists are interfering with the medical decisions of patients across the country by rejecting science to impose a national abortion ban.
Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, released the following statement:
“Access to medication abortion is still under threat regardless of the speed at which Trump’s appointees move on their baseless mifepristone review. Republican lawmakers and extremist groups are committed to banning medication abortion and pressuring federal agencies is just another way to achieve that goal — regardless of the harm to women and families. Anti-abortion extremists will continue to search for any opportunity they can use to ban abortion nationwide, and what we’re seeing now is just the beginning.”
In light of news last week that the review of mifepristone is being delayed, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley – who called on the FDA to review mifepristone earlier this year – is doubling down on his efforts to ban medication abortion care by demanding answers from Commissioner Makary on why the review on mifepristone is being stalled. Meanwhile, extremist groups like former Vice President Pence’s organization Advancing American Freedom Foundation, Students for Life, and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America are bullying Republican lawmakers into exploiting government agencies to attack reproductive freedom.
Bottomline: Despite over twenty years of evidence-based research confirming that mifepristone is safe and effective, Republicans and their extremist allies are weaponizing trusted federal agencies to ban medication abortion nationwide.

Republicans Put Anti-Abortion Extremism First Instead of Addressing Health Care Crisis
Republican lawmakers care more about banning abortion than lowering costs for millions of families
WASHINGTON, DC –– Today, Senate Republicans rejected legislation that would extend the Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits for three years and protect millions of Americans’ access to health care. Instead, they rallied behind a bogus bill that leaves out critical tax credits that so many families rely on, and includes further restrictions on abortion coverage.
Now, millions of Americans’ health care hangs in the balance as the same lawmakers who claim that abortion should be “left up to the states” pull every lever they can to ban abortion nationwide.
After today’s votes, Veronica Ingham, Managing Director of Free & Just, released the following statement:
“Republican lawmakers would rather cater to anti-abortion extremists than address the health care crisis they created, and American families will pay the price. We are just days away from millions of people losing health coverage, and the last thing Americans need is for Republicans to bow to anti-abortion extremists. It’s time for Republicans to stop spreading misinformation about abortion coverage under the ACA and get serious about lowering costs for working families.”
