It's 2019, and once again, a woman's right to make her own choices in the United States is under attack. This year alone, 303 bills restricting abortion care have been filed in 47 states. Among those bills, 135 ban abortion in some or all circumstances.

In response, BAZAAR.com teamed up with Planned Parenthood and the cast of Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale—stars Elisabeth Moss (June), Samira Wiley (Moira), Ann Dowd (Aunt Lydia), Madeline Brewer (Janine), Amanda Brugel (Rita), Max Minghella (Nick), and Bradley Whitford (Commander Lawrence)to convey a powerful, essential message: When we start restricting access to abortion, our country takes one step closer to Gilead.
