Stop Censoring Abortion: The Fight for Reproductive Rights in the Digital Age

With reproductive rights under fire across the U.S. and globally, access to accurate abortion information has never been more critical—especially online. 

That’s why reproductive health and rights organizations have turned to online platforms to share essential, sometimes life-saving, guidance and resources. Whether it’s how to access information about abortion medication, where to find clinics, or the latest updates on abortion laws, these online spaces have become a lifeline, particularly for those in regions where reproductive freedoms are under siege. But there’s a troubling trend making it harder for people to access vital abortion information: social media platforms are increasingly censoring or removing abortion-related content—often without clear justification or policy basis.
