WNBPA stands against Texas abortion ban in full-page New York Times ad ahead of Game 4

The WNBA Players Association (WNBPA) is speaking out against Texas’ six-week abortion ban in a full-page New York Times ad published Sunday, the same day as Game 4 of the WNBA Finals.

“Reproductive rights are human rights. Family planning is freedom,” the statement reads in large letters. It comes days after the state’s near-total abortion ban was put back into place following a temporary emergency stay by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

Layshia Clarendon, first vice president of the WNBPA, shared the letter on Twitter on Sunday morning. The Phoenix Mercury and Chicago Sky play Game 4 of the Finals at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN. The Sky lead the series, 2-1.

“You come for one of us, you come for all of us,” Clarendon wrote. The letter is signed by the WNBPA, Athletes for Impact, Planned Parenthood, Seeding Sovereignty, Sister Song and Noise for Now.
