Strategic litigation advancing reproductive healthcare access
Overview
The Lawyering Project pursues legal advocacy, policy reform, and strategic litigation in the United States to expand access to reproductive healthcare by challenging restrictive laws, working with clinics, funds, researchers, governments, and individuals seeking care. It operates through lawsuits, policy campaigns, and coalition-building, filing briefs and lobbying to shape statutes, regulations, and funding structures that affect access to care. Unlike groups that focus on a single service or issue, it aims for systemic change by combining legal action with policy advocacy across the healthcare and legal systems. Its goal is a legal system that respects personal decision-making about sex, pregnancy, family, and healthcare and ensures resources and access to carry out those decisions.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- In August 2026, it joined four district briefs and one D.C. Circuit brief.
- New York v. Kennedy kept HHS reproductive-health infrastructure alive after preliminary relief.
- Its active docket spans Kansas, Indiana, Louisiana, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, North Dakota, and Tennessee.
What critics are saying
- Donor-funded operations face grant volatility; Katz Amsterdam support does not guarantee 2027 renewals.
- A hostile Supreme Court or federal circuit ruling can erase core abortion-access wins fast.
- State AGs and licensing boards can target staff through subpoenas, discipline, and venue-specific injunctions.
What makes The Lawyering Project unique
- The Lawyering Project pairs impact litigation with amicus strategy across eleven active state cases.
- It targets reproductive-health barriers, not clinics alone, including licensing, telehealth, and public-health agencies.
- Its 2026 briefs defend First Amendment protections for pro bono advocacy and lawyer independence.
