Today marks 41 years since the tragic passing of Rosie Jimenez, 27, after an illegal abortion. Because of the Hyde Amendment, Rosieās Medicaid couldnāt cover a safer procedure, and her untimely death has a served as a grave reminder of the consequences women face when safe abortion access is eliminated.
We are so happy to support lilithfund naraltx allaboveall and nirhaction as they work with council members on āRosieās Resolutionā, an Austin, Texas resolution that recognizes the importance of access to abortion care and calls for a repeal of public and private bans.
Today, we remember Rosie - her life and her legacy - as we continue to fight for affordable, safe abortion access across the country.
