DJAN Strongly Opposes Dangerous and Authoritarian Texas Law

DJAN's leaders, members, and network of activists are concerned about, appalled by, and in strong opposition to the Texas law against reproductive freedom, known as Senate Bill 8.

This dangerous law is a direct attack on women, an endangerment of their lives and those who support them, and a war against the right of women to have full knowledge and full availability of all options connected to their health care, especially their reproductive health care.

While its proponents say that the bill’s target is not women themselves but those who profit on abortion, make no mistake – this bill is designed to harm people who are vulnerable and make it nearly impossible to reach well informed and private medical decisions without herculean efforts.
