The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice is a nonprofit that advocates for abortion and health care policies that make it easier for women to have abortions. 1

It opposes any type of restrictions on abortions including parental notification laws and opposes allowing religious refusals to perform abortions and provide contraceptives. 2 The group also favors offering driver licenses to undocumented immigrants.

The Latina Institute changed its name from “the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health” to the “National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice” in 2019. 3 The Latina Institute has state networks in Florida, New York, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. 4

Social Media Posts

On Dec. 22, 2022, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice posted on its Facebook account, “Abortion empowers us to make the best choices about our bodies, our health and our lives.” It called access to abortion “a gift.” 5 On that same day, it posted on Facebook, “There is no shame in being HAPPY about your abortion.” 6

On Dec. 20, 2022, the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice called anti-abortion policies “racist, xenophobic and classist.” 7

Legislative Advocacy

The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice advocates for public policy that makes it easier to have an abortion. It advocates against abortion regulations and the Hyde Amendment, 10 which blocks federal funds from being used to pay for abortions with the exceptions for rape, incest or if the pregnancy can endanger the woman’s life. 11

The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice advocates against religious refusals to provide abortion and contraception, parental notification laws, state-mandated restrictions on abortion, and crisis pregnancy centers, which it calls “fake clinics that often target communities of color.” 12

The National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice also is in favor of issuing driver’s licenses and municipal IDs for undocumented immigrants. 13 It also supports the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance Act, the Women’s Health Protection Act, and Virginia’s Reproductive Health and Protection Act. 14
