Alliance Governors are strengthening reproductive rights within Alliance states using every tool, from executive actions and budgets, to legislative reforms, appointments, and regulations. Members of the Alliance share best practices, coordinate responses to threats and attacks on reproductive rights, and advance affirmative strategies to protect, strengthen, and expand access to abortion, contraception, and other forms of reproductive health care.
Our Impact
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Alliance Governors moved quickly to protect abortion care and expand access to contraception and other forms of reproductive healthcare. Alliance Governors have worked together to protect access to medication abortion, shield patients and providers, reduce reproductive healthcare costs, and increase contraceptive access.

This Alliance is a moral obligation to what is right and will stand as a firewall to fight for and protect providers, patients, and all who are affected by these attacks on fundamental rights.
Governor Gavin Newsom, California
As Illinois remains a beacon for reproductive healthcare in a region increasingly plagued by inhumane restrictions, I’m proud to join my fellow Governors to help fulfill the promise I made when Roe v. Wade was overturned: we will not go backward.
Governor JB Pritzker, Illinois
With reproductive rights under attack across the country, it’s up to governors to safeguard women’s rights and their access to health care. North Carolina is a critical access point for women seeking reproductive health care, and the freedom to choose is a fundamental right we’re working hard to protect.
Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina
Michiganders and Americans across the nation believe that everyone should be able to make their own decisions about their own body. Access to abortion and other reproductive health care saves lives, and it’s why we will fight like hell to protect fundamental rights wherever they are under attack. Every American should be able to start a family if and when they are ready. I am proud to join this alliance and look forward to getting things done with my fellow governors.
Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Michigan
Access to abortion and other reproductive health care saves lives, and it’s why we will fight like hell to protect fundamental rights wherever they are under attack. Every American should be able to start a family if and when they are ready. I am proud to join this alliance and look forward to getting things done with my fellow governors.
Governor Katie Hobbs, Arizona
I am proud to stand with other governors in the fight to protect and expand reproductive freedom. While some states have decided to move toward restricting women’s rights, I can assure you that here in Maryland, we will protect them.
Governor Wes Moore, Maryland
In this moment when abortion access is under threat across the country, Governors have a unique responsibility and opportunity to expand reproductive freedom in our states. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues to send a clear message that we are not just playing defense, but moving ambitiously forward to improve access to abortion and reproductive health care.
