The federally protected right to abortion might be a thing of the past, but abortion rights advocates say they are looking to build something better and stronger to guarantee reproductive rights for future generations.
With shared personal stories on their experiences with abortion, reproductive rights advocates look ahead to the future and not back to Roe v. Wade.

In her 20th week of gestation, she and her husband walked into the hospital for a fetal anatomy scan.
Now, so many years later, the decision still weighs heavy on these two women. Both cry when they share their personal story, even though both admit it was the best decision they could have made at the time. On Monday evening, they lent their voices to a Planned Parenthood Keystone event marking what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark U.S.
“For far too long the antichoice movement has vilified those who seek abortion,” Viswanathan said. “Roe has fallen but I am reckless in my anger. I am angry at the bold face hypocrisy floated by those who demand rights for the liminal space between conception and birth. Rights they feel supersede those of the vessel that carries it.
The high court decision to overturn federal protection for abortion returned the issue of reproductive rights back to the state. Thus far,. But even as other states have reinvigorated their laws protecting the procedure, the 2022 decision has caused profound confusion and fear among patients and care givers.
“Pennsylvania plays a critical role in this fight. While people will argue that this is an access state, we push back on that. Yes abortion is legal in Pennsylvania, but we are living in the effects chipping away at access. Decades and decades of chipping away at those rights. We are seeing that right now.”r to reject three measures passed by the General Assembly that would have restricted or banned abortions.
