Since 1935, WRJ has fought for every individual to have access to birth control. Birth control access is access to health, freedom, and the ability to plan our own futures. Today, we raise our voices to say #ThxBirthControl. https://t.co/TSYq272YOF

We pray for the safety of all Israelis amidst Iran’s attack. And we thank @POTUS for yet again standing with Israel in the face of an onslaught from its enemies. May God protect the Israeli people and may the new year know only peace.

Yesterday, the Senate failed yet again to pass the Right to IVF Act. As state legislatures across the country restrict IVF, governors must step up to ensure people have the protections and safety to start a family. Urge your governor to protect IVF here: https://t.co/1pVvt7VzMB.

Budgets are moral documents. Yet instead of funding programs to protect vulnerable communities, the current US proposal is an anti-abortion ploy. We joined @NCJW and 300+ Jewish orgs and clergy urging Congress to remove these barriers to health care:

As Jewish women, we know firsthand how important access to reproductive health care is. We wish the plaintiffs hazak as they continue their legal battle.
We are dismayed by the dismissal of a suit brought by three Jewish mothers arguing that Kentucky's abortion ban violates their religious freedom. Judaism teaches that reproductive health care is essential. We will continue to fight for access for all.

Three Jewish women challenged Kentucky's near-total abortion ban on the grounds that it infringed on their religious beliefs that life begins at birth, not conception.
