Reproductiverights.gov makes a comeback — on theSkimm

The day after President Trump reentered the Oval Office for a second term, reproductiverights.gov, the website providing information about abortion and contraceptive access, was taken down. theSkimm, a nonpartisan media company serving millennial women, decided to reproduce the page, in its entirety, on their website. 

“This isn’t about politics — it’s about women having the resources to make decisions for themselves. Our mission has always been to inform and empower women, and the Reproductive Rights campaign is a natural extension of that commitment,” said Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, co-founders and co-CEOs of theSkimm. 

The website includes information about rights for birth control, access to medication, and information on patient privacy laws, along with an update on medication abortions. 

“This initiative has sparked an overwhelming outpouring of gratitude and support — more than any other social impact campaign we’ve launched,” said Zakin and Weisburg. 

theSkimm isn’t the only company providing resources right now. Cadence OTC has begun donating morning-after pills to clinics in Louisiana, as part of its Thank You, Mark Johnson campaign, and if clinics from other states reach out to them, they will donate MAPs to them as well. 

As for theSkimm, they don’t plan on stopping what they are doing anytime soon. Recently, they reposted information on contraceptive rights that had also been taken down from the CDC’s website. 

“We’re here to help women cut through the noise and make informed decisions about their health, their families, and their futures,” said Zakin and Weisburg. “As we see reproductive rights information disappear online, we will put it back up.”
