NAACP Seattle King County Statement on Abortion Ban

The Seattle King County NAACP is appalled at the news coming out of Missouri and Alabama on abortion bans this week.

The NAACP has a long history of supporting women. Women in NAACP (WIN) was founded in part to serve as an advocacy vehicle for issues affecting women and children. Our own NAACP chapter spoke at Planned Parenthood Lobby Day in March 2019 on the importance of reproductive health access and sexual education. 

Here's how we can help end this assault on women's rights. We fight. We vote or we register to vote. We boycott establishments supporting misogyny. We volunteer at health clinics. We donate to local organizations that fight for reproductive rights. We speak to those around us about the devastating effects on abortion bans, especially to those who don't understand the disastrous effects these laws have. We vote out those politicians who don't believe women have the ability to choose what happens to their own bodies.
​
The NAACP Seattle King County is watching and will fight for women's health, we cannot keep letting history make the same mistakes. We will always fight against misogyny and ignorance, and we ask you to join us.
