Know Your Rights

**Disclaimer: Due to Congressional Rules, our Caucus is unable to connect you directly with resources provided by non-governmental entities. Please know that additional reproductive care resources may be available to you outside of these lists. 

Since the Trump Administration took office, many government reproductive rights resources have been removed, as marked with a strikethrough. As we work to adapt this project to the realities of the new presidential administration, please be aware that some of the remaining Federal resources listed here may have been or may soon be altered to contain misleading, biased anti-abortion information. Please be vigilant if you are utilizing these Federal resources. As information changes, we will continue to update this page.

THE USER ACKNOWLEDGES AND ACCEPTS THE LIMITS OF THE INFORMATION, INCLUDING THE FACT THAT THE CONTENTS ARE DYNAMIC AND IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF MAINTENANCE, CORRECTION, AND UPDATE. THE CAUCUS COMMITS TO DO EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO VERIFY THE INFORMATION PROVIDED AND CORRECT AND POST INFORMATION IN A TIMELY AND ACCURATE MANNER. PLEASE CONTACT OUR CAUCUS WITH SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS PAGE IF YOU ENCOUNTER A DISCREPRENCY OR ERROR.**

Do you have a reproductive freedom impact story you wish to share with our Members? Visit the Democratic Leader’s Share Your Story portal here. 

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, abortion laws and access to care have varied substantially from state to state. Some have taken steps to safeguard, and others to restrict, abortion rights and access during that time. In states across the country, voters have also shifted the conversation, voting again and again to maintain and codify the right to abortion in their states.

As we face an unprecedented reproductive health care crisis nationwide, the Congressional Reproductive Freedom Caucus (RFC), formerly Pro-Choice Caucus, is fighting with you and for you. RFC is a group of over 160 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives committed to advancing reproductive rights, freedom, and justice. From moving key legislation forward to amplifying the voices of those around the country demanding action, RFC Members, led by Co-Chairs Diana DeGette (CO-01) and Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) are proud to fight for your reproductive freedom and bodily autonomy.

That is why, in the wake of the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we launched the Know Your Rights Project—to equip our Members with the tools to share comprehensive, current, and community-specific resources with every constituent they serve to help them know their rights and access care and coverage.

We know that abortion care is health care. Reproductive rights are human rights, and you deserve the freedom to make your own medical decisions—including about abortion.

Please review the resources below for information on knowing your rights, understanding Congressional action to advance reproductive freedom, and accessing care. You will also find state-by-state resources from RFC Members.
