15 things to do in light of Roe v. Wade being overturned

These are in addition to my much longer post. Please add to it.

  1. If you live in a state that has protected abortion rights, contact your governor to urge them to say that your state will not cooperate with other states' investigations into those seeking and those providing abortions (I know that at least the New Jersey and California governors have already made such statements). Here's how to know if your state has protected abortions rights. Here's how to contact your governor.
  2. If you live in a state that does not have protected abortion rights, contat your state reps and governor to urge them to protect abortion rights and strike down restrictive legislation. Here's how to know if your state has protected abortions rights.
