Advocates for Youth supports the right of all women, including young women, to safe and legal abortion.  The Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade legalized abortion nationwide over 35 years ago. But state to state, far right conservative politicians and activists have continued to chip away at the right to choose, especially where young women are concerned. Studies have shown that when barriers to safe and legal abortion exist, young people wait longer to have an abortion – increasing the possibility of the procedure’s being illegal in their state, and meaning they now need a riskier procedure to end the pregnancy.

The 1 in 3 Campaign

The 1 in 3 Campaign is a movement to reach over 1,000,000 people with personal stories about abortion and the importance of access to basic health care. This movement starts with each and every one of us — coming together to have individual conversations and working to engage our campuses and communities. Watch videos, share videos, and make your own video.
