Helping Everyone
Have A Voice Again

Mission

Nancy Davis Foundation’s mission is to to aid individuals who have endured trauma due to a prenatal developmental defect during pregnancy and to advocate for reproductive justice.

Vision

The vision of the Nancy Davis Foundation is to mend broken and traumatized families from diverse backgrounds (races, ages, and beliefs). We achieve this by offering resources, mentorship, education, and financial assistance for medical pregnancy terminations; as well as be a leader in the world of pregnancy termination reform.

The Story

The Nancy Davis Foundation was founded in response to a deeply personal and challenging experience. After Nancy Davis, the organization’s founder, was denied a medical pregnancy termination at her local hospital in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, her fiance’ and her was forced to travel nearly 1,500 miles to access the healthcare she and her family deserved. This ordeal highlighted the critical need for reform in reproductive healthcare and maternal rights, especially in regions like Louisiana, where access to reproductive services is restricted.

Nancy’s journey served as a catalyst for her to share her story and transform her pain into action. She organized rallies, testified at legislative sessions, and conducted numerous interviews with media outlets, raising awareness of the struggles women face in accessing essential healthcare. Her advocacy and determination led to the creation of the Nancy Davis Foundation.

Thanks to Nancy’s tireless advocacy, Louisiana has expanded its list of abortion exceptions to now include Acrania.

Secretary

My primary focus in working with the Nancy Davis Foundation is to restore the reproductive rights of women to terminate a pregnancy that is no longer viable without having to leave the state.

In my humble opinion, the world could use more love and compassion, both of which are strengths of mine. I plan to use my love for women’s reproductive rights and compassion for those in need to help spread knowledge about the injustices women in Louisiana currently face in a post Dobbs America.
