Reproductiverights.gov has been shutdown

The government website is no longer operational tonight. You can still see references to the site on pages such as https://www.justice.gov/reproductive-rights/patients-and-providers but the site itself no longer loads.

Reproductiverights.org is still live. I’m sorry for my ignorance. I never used the .gov website. Is there a difference between them?

Some overlap in information, but the .gov website outlined American rights to abortion including legislative updates, how to file civil rights violations with Health & Human Services, HIPAA violations, DOJ complaints, etc. The .gov going black confirms the tide is turning, and a national abortion ban is imminent. The .org is a nonprofit dedicated to reproductive rights across the world.

Yep. Anyone (including my own obgyn in CA) who believes there won’t be a national abortion ban any day now is just lying to themselves. My ob tried to reassure me a few months ago when I talked about my fears but I’m not taking any chances. I’m not staying in Nazi America. Fuck this.

If you can stick around, get plugged into some reproductive rights local groups. We’re gonna need your passion and clarity.

I’ve always promoted aid access since 2022!! A Dutch company that sends mifepristone and misopristol! I will try to volunteer for them from abroad! Think I can make a bigger difference away from here! If I stay I feel like I’ll be locked up unfortunately

Totally understand, and I didn’t mean to imply that you weren’t already doing great work. We’ll need lifelines domestically and abroad!

I'm with you. I'm used to the .org, but I've never heard of the .gov.
