Unfortunately, this is an issue that touches too many people's lives. It affected me when my dear sister, Dana, was taken from us through this act of violence. That is why I want to highlight that this month is Domestic Violence Awareness month.
Background is a de-saturated woman sitting in a chair with her head in her hands looking distressed. Words in black font in front of her. Title is "Abortions and Domestic Violence" with the main words stating "Studies have shown that states with abortion restrictions have a higher rate of homicides related to domestic violence."

Veterans need and deserve comprehensive health care, which includes access to abortion care and counseling.

#VeteranHealthCare #HealthAccess #AbortionAccess
Top light blue and bottom half white background with a grey scale image of a middle-aged white women. Yellow text reads: more than 400,000 women veterans are estimated to live in states with total abortion bans or severe restrictions. On the white part blue words state: The VA proposed a ban on abortion care and counseling with no exceptions. Access is already limited to rape, incest, or where the health of the pregnant veteran is at risk- but now the limitations are expanding and so are the risks veterans face. Top blue and bottom half white background with a grey scale image of a black military women looking off camera as though having a conversation. Dark blue words on bottom white half says, 1 in 3 women veterans report having experienced military sexual trauma (MST), including sexual assault, during their service. Often this experience leads to developing or worsening PTSD. Blue background with white off center tilted square with words inside. Sources. Transgender Military Service in the United States by the Williams Institute, UCLA School of Law. Fact Sheet: Abortion Access for Veterans by Center for Reproductive Rights. Military Sexual Trauma: Issues in Caring for Veterans - PTSD: National Center for PTSD by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

If we have no rights to our own bodies and are not treated equally under the law or by society, then nothing else matters in this world – our freedom is priceless.

Image of Julie Burkhart in a red suit behind a quote. "I want to go back for a moment to 2009. After my boss and mentor, Dr. George Tiller was murdered... I wanted to know if this was the place to be – with all the vitriol, hatred and violence. What I finally came to was this – If we have no rights to our own bodies and are not treated equally under the law or by society, then nothing else matters in this world – our freedom is priceless." by Julie Burkhart

After weeks of delays and set backs, we are hoping Judge Campbell rules from the bench here in Casper. We miss our patients, we miss working together, we miss providing vital services. Keep us in your hearts and minds tomorrow.

Cecile was a force for positive change throughout her dynamic career. Whether it was her tireless fight for equality, commitment to reproductive rights, or endless fight for women’s rights, she was a champion for all people.

There’s false claims and stigma surrounding later abortion care.
There are many reasons people seek care and they are all valid.
Nearly ALL later abortions are provided at independent clinic like Wellspring.

We proudly provide care to 23.6 weeks.
