Overview
The Lawyering Project works to expand access to reproductive healthcare in the United States through legal advocacy, policy reform, and strategic litigation, assisting providers, abortion funds, support networks, governmental entities, researchers, religious groups, and individuals seeking care. It operates by filing lawsuits, drafting legal briefs, lobbying for reform, and building coalitions to change laws, regulations, and funding structures that restrict access. Its approach combines legal action with policy advocacy to remove structural barriers across health and legal systems, focusing on systemic change rather than one-off services. Its goal is to create a legal system that respects personal decisions about sex, pregnancy, family, and healthcare and ensures resources are available to carry out those choices.
